So it goes.
Sadde doesn't come up with a good idea for a club for most Slytherins. Their intersecting interests seem to lie in the vicinity of "Pureblood club" and that's something Sadde will not support. They haven't managed to befriend all firsties, but their consistent association with the Ravenclaws coupled with helping people out pretty consistently has gotten most people to give them the benefit of the doubt. The trickster-ish streak does mean people are a bit confused about them, though.
Older Slytherins are still pretty resolutely against Sadde, but that's not too bad, and it's only been three and a half months.
(Also, Sadde has managed to not ask Miranda about her plans for a month and a half. Even if the curiosity is eating them inside.)
And Winter Holidays are next week.

"Hello, Ms. Svan. Mr. Voods."
Sadde still isn't quite in her good graces.

"Hi. We're interested in the Patronus Charm. Is that something you'd be willing to help us with?"
The Professor blinks and clicks her tongue. "That is a very difficult Charm, one that even, what is the name, N.E.W.T. students are not regularly taught."

"It didn't sound especially difficult in the book. What's so hard about it?"
"Unlike most other Charms, it requires a very specific frame of mind to be attained and maintained, othervise it vinks out. There are also aspects relating to personality and self-confidence that are not yet vell understood."

"...I'd like to try it anyway. Is it safe to practice on our own out of the book?"
"...vell, unless you are a Dark Vix," and she shoots Sadde a meaningful glance, "it should be fine. But you are very unlikely to succeed even vithout a Dementor around, and they make casting the Patronus much more difficult."
"Not all people who could be called Dark Vixen suffer this fate, but trying to cast the Patronus Charm has been known to instead produce maggots that eat the vix."

"Well, neither of us are Dark," says Miranda. "But thanks for the warning."
"You are quite velcome. Vas there anything else?"
She nods, then thinks about it for a second.
"Expecto Patronum!" she cries out, and a hawk shoots out of her wand, floating in place and not doing much of anything, given that it doesn't have a target. "You can also use the Patronus to send messages. Patronus, tell Ms. Svan that she can do that."
The Patronus dutifully flies a couple of feet toward Miranda and says, "You can use the Patronus to send messages," in Spukhafte's voice and accent.

Oooh!
"That's really nice! But not very useful for covert communication."
She nods. "Indeed not. However, these cannot be faked and are proof against the Dark Arts, and vill find their intended targets no matter vhere they are, instantaneously."
"Vell, if the target is far enough avay, they disappear from where they were cast and appear near the target."
The Professor dispels her Patronus.
"You are velcome."
