Seneca shared Gretchen's sentiment and that was why they were such good friends. Since she was a child, Seneca knew that she would do something great with her life. Even though many people considered her abilities odd, she believed that they made her special and that people were just jealous.
As for Gretchen, while Seneca thought her very intelligent and clever, she would need to put in more effort into doing something great. Becoming an animagus would be a nice beginning. Then, she would have a unique and special ability too, so she wouldn't just be another smart girl.
"And you won't!" Seneca encouraged her friend. "You will become an animagus! And who knows, maybe you could be elected Minister of Magic too. Josephina Flint did it, after all."
Josephina Flint was an inspiration to Seneca. She had been elected Minister of Magic at a time when things were even stricter for women. She also dared to say the truth about blood purity, etc. Nowadays, people were too concerned about not offending poor people, mudbloods, and immigrants.
