Cee had no reason to suspect what was going on in Mrs. Crouch's head. She didn't view Ben Crouch as anything but a very pleasant new friend. He was fun to talk to about Quidditch and he seemed to value her opinion on things, unlike most men.

"Oh, not really, just to greet him!" Cee replied cheerfully. "I imagine that he is terribly busy, with all those parties and weddings going on!" She remembered that he worked at a distillery, they had had a chat about businesses. "And how are you, Mrs. Crouch? Are you a reader, then? Do you have any suggestions for me?"

If she was married to someone as fun as Ben Crouch, then she would have to be fun and interesting herself. Perhaps she would have something nice to recommend her!
