It shouldn't have surprised her to learn Ms. Binns was once a debutante given the woman's affinity for talking and tea, but it did. Despite having only met twice Jo now had a very specific vision of Ms. Binns (which fit very nicely with Zachariah and his cats) and attending balls simply wasn't part of it.

"I'm relieved to have been spared that particular horror." Jo said instead. "My mother would've had to drag me along kicking and screaming." Jo hadn't even willingly complied with her Hogwarts Coming Out ball, and had only attended for an opportunity to roam about the castle once more. "Green tea, please."
