Meeting of two?
@Henry Knight"Less worries sounds good." Miranda nodded thoughtfully. "And I think we'll be ready by the weekend. So yeah, that'd work well." She paused, worrying with a page from her notepad that was looking considerably bent by now. "Although, maybe we should start the meeting without mentioning the full moon or stuff like that? Maybe just chat about unimportant things so that they start feeling more relaxed, then continue to more pressing topics, like how they feel about their "furry problem", as you put it."
Miranda had been thinking furiously of ways to let the other werewolves, especially the ones who weren't comfortable with their condition, acclimate. Otherwise they might decide attending meetings caused more stress than calming, and leave the group.
At Henry's suggestion, she brightened. "Yes, I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. Keeping it mostly secret is bound to help them feel more at ease. Maybe we could send some school owls after them? I know for a fact that they're pretty good at tailing students until their messages are received - the owls, that is." Miranda had been using this method to get in touch with her brother, since he never seemed to be around where she could talk to him. It worked well, but as of yet she'd only received a single response, and a short one at that.

Meeting of two?
Henry listened to Miranda speak and agreed with her about taking about other topics then moving toward talking and discussing werewolves topics a few meetings in and in which Henry replied " definitely maybe just lightly mention it but not that much until maybe the third or fourth meeting, or even later if you like or depending how the other members feel also?" Henry tried to remember how he talked about himself being a werewolf with his family but in the end it was a different experience since he mostly talked with his older brother about it and he never seemed to mind or look at Henry differently to so that also helped.
Henry heard Miranda talked about his idea of keeping their club a secret and Henry replied with a smile as he spoke " okay then we will keep it a secret and use owls but there's also this charm that I'm learning that can help with that also because it effects things like a coin or tattoo and can warn members about meetings which can also keep it a secret. We can put it in place as soon as I learn the charm which won't be long hopefully," Henry then closed his notepad and got up and closed his notepad as he spoke " since we got the basics worked out, I can go spread the word out to others with the furry problem if you like?"

@Henry Knight"Well, we'll see how our first meeting goes," Miranda decided, glancing down at her notepad - again, she might add. "But third or fourth sounds good. Hopefully they'll be at least comfortable by then, and ready to start that topic. But if not, we may have to push it as far back as the sixth or seventh. Although probably not as far back as that, because then it would be less of a club for helping werewolves acclimate, and more of one to get together and chat, which, while not necessarily bad, isn't the real purpose."
Hopefully, things would work well enough that it wouldn't take long for them to reach that topic. Because otherwise their task was going to get much harder. But surely there were other students that were comfortable with the reality of their situation, or had at least grown to loosely tolerate it...right? Miranda very much hoped so.
"Really?" she asked in response to Henry's suggestion. "That would be incredibly useful! Definitely better than using seeker-owls, seeing as those could get intercepted or the like." In Miranda's experience, owls tended to only let the true recipient take the message, but one never knew what might happen. It was better to prepare for all eventualities, just in case something went wrong.
"Yes, if you don't mind." Miranda closed her notepad and stood up as well. She glanced around the library. "I could probably use some time to finished up some of my Defense Against The Dark Arts homework."

[quote]When Miranda spoke again, Henry smiled toward her as he spoke " hopefully people will become comfortable or more relax as time goes on because your right while it's not a bad thing, we didn't exactly set the club up just to chat with others," while he would have just liked to chat and laughed with other especially other werewolves that wasn't the purpose of the club and hopefully no one would be to anxious or nervous to start talking or working through their furry problems. When Miranda spoke again that made Henry smile wider as he started to talk " your right about the owls and I already know the basics of the charm just need to ask a professor a few things about it before I try to cast it."
Henry has definitely spent a bit too much time reading spells that he shouldn't have and now he wanted to cast one of them but he knew that he would need a professor to help him practice so that nothing went wrong. When Miranda spoke again about doing home work, that made Henry thankful that he already finished all his as he spoke " no problem, I see you around then," Henry the waved to her and walked away from both his girlfriend and co leader of the club.

@Henry Knight"Exactly," Miranda replied with a nod. While chatting with others was always interesting, there were more important things they had to do first - idle talk could come later, once the more pressing matters were taken care of. She glanced around the library, casually checking to make sure no one had wandered within hearing distance, but there was no need, so she soon turned her gaze back to Henry.
"Okay, so we'll use owls until you get the charm to work, then we can hand out whatever we decide to use as communicators and scrap the owls for the time being. Yes, I think that would work." She couldn't suppress a smile spreading across her face at the thought that perhaps everything would go alright - that their plan would succeed, and things would get better for werewolves all across the school. Failure would not - could not - be an option, not for her sake, nor the sakes of all the lycanthropes that could possibly benefit from it.
The two of them then parted ways, and Miranda began to make her way through the winding passages of the library, searching for the exit so she could grab her notes and papers from her dorm. Too bad she couldn't carry everything around in a notebook.
