On a 7-9, you convince Abigail Churn by daring her

Roll for WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENCOUNTER: 2d6+2 = 7 + 2 = 9. On a 7-9, you have to convince her.

"I was hoping I'd made a good impression," you tell the Leontes girl. "Actually about flying, I'm rather mad for it, on a broom. Did you want to ride along when I limber up my Nightingale?"

Abigail Churn gives you a doubtful look. "Shouldn't I be, well..."

You catch the self-doubt in her eyes.

"I dare you, Miss Churn, for the honor of your house. For BRAVERY. Fly with me."

Abigail's jaw drops, then rises, her mouth settling into a line. "Fine, I will. But then I'll have a turn, and we'll try out YOUR bravery."

"It would be my honor," you say. "Tomorrow at dawn, at the Broom Polo grounds."

"Tomorrow at dawn," Abigail says.

She sweeps away in the direction of her House.

Is this what Boarbristle Academy is about? Operatic, silly challenges of honor? You'll have to ask Anastasia. Maybe after your flight with Miss Churn. Your flights. Abigail will get a turn.

Mind that Miss Churn should better anchor those glasses, maybe pin up her braid. You've watched Anastasia pin and re-pin her hair so many times. Your elder sister has enlisted you as pin holder and pin setter. Go away, or be useful!, very Anastasia. But that's in Miss Churn's wheelhouse, not yours.
