"Albert, I never denied that Werewolf was a good game, but..."
Watching everyone gathered together to play cards, Shanna hesitated again and again before finally reminding them, "But I think that would seriously undermine their motivation to work. You know, right now..."
"Don't be such a killjoy, Shanna."
Fred, who had just been eliminated, sipped his hot chocolate as he said to the hesitant Shanna, "Everyone's just passing the time during their breaks."
"They're not like you lot." Shanna glared at Fred angrily. "They don't have piles of Galleons in their pockets. What they should be doing now is finishing Avalon, then finding suitable jobs for themselves as soon as possible."
Just as Albert had expected, Shanna was quite conscientious. Otherwise, there had been no need for her to say such things. Whatever happened to everyone else later had little to do with him.
"Alright, Shanna, you should relax too. Life isn't all about work. That would wear people down." Albert reached out and gently squeezed his friend's shoulder, smiling as he suggested, "You can play cards with everyone during breaks too. They're all adults; their willpower isn't as fragile as you think."
"She really is responsible. She just meddles a little too much." Fred shook his head as he watched Shanna leave.
"That's a good thing. And I think she'd actually make a suitable teacher." After some thought, Albert added, "If she's willing, we can leave the early education of Avalon's children to her in the future."
"Isn't that a bit cruel?" Fred's mouth twitched.
"Muggles start school earlier than you think. Of course, children don't need to learn too much. They just need to master the basics and have their interest in learning guided. Once they become interested in something, they'll have the motivation to learn it later."
