"I've always been a fan of theory," admits Hermione with a slight nod. Even though she wants to provide Lafayette with the learning that he's most interested in, she's also most familiar with classes that outline at least a few guiding principles and theories before diving into application.

"We can still keep to defensive magic. I don't think that's a problem. But it might help to learn some of the foundation between what distinguishes defensive magic from other techniques, and maybe for you to at least see a few practical applications, before we set on trying to design a spell that works for you specifically. I would also love to simply see you exert some of your magic, no matter for what purpose. Seeing it might help me to understand it."
