Gwen sat there waiting for the student in question to come forward. She was suddenly nervous that maybe she'd erred. Maybe she'd pronounced it incorrectly? While Cara was definitely informal, learning to read and write was a difficult task so she needed to build a good report with her students so they could work more easily with one another. With some having no secondary name at all, it was difficult enough but maybe she should have used the girl's actual name instead of the one Rowena had put in quotations?
Finally, the student in question came forward. Having been one that had needed a slate, Gwen struggled not to wince when the girl asked about the name.
"Oh dear, I hope you don't mind," she said softly, her voice less confident than it had been before. "My information comes from the roll taken in the common rooms. Lady Ravenclaw wrote Cara beside your full name so I thought you merely preferred it. I can use Caratacos henceforth if it would be your preference."
