Nora smiled sheepishly. Hopefully the idea worked. A shield charm didn't last all that long, but at least now Mrs. Lestrange could reinforce it if she needed to. "No, a Hufflepuff, but I do like puzzles." Nora had always thought she would have felt equally as comfortable in Ravenclaw tower at Hogwarts, but had thrived in Hufflepuff where people were actively outgoing and friendly. The alternative would have likely left her feeling quite lonely.

"I like to read too," She wasn't building a strong case for her house, but it was the truth. "You were a Gryffindor, yes?" Nora remembered Ellory from school, though only a little. There was a couple of years between them and though they ran in similar circles, Ellory had been far more outgoing that Nora would ever be.
