Charles was glad that he had not been placed in Slytherin. It wouldn't have been a good selection for him, for one thing. And his sister would likely have driven him mad. All in all, Katherine had been a good sister. But she was nosy and had vastly different opinions than he did as they grew older. Perhaps - in part - due to their respective sortings.
There weren't many Slytherins that thought too openly, particularly ones of their blood status. It was a common trait. The house was famous for it. How could Charles be blamed for believing that Miss Lécuyer most likely held such views?
But this young woman before him was passionate. Gushing about a topic that most debutantes took as a small pastime. He couldn't help but smile. That was, at least, charming. And he also couldn't help the agreeing nod towards the comment of these such affairs being straining. "Not many know this, but my late wife was a seer."
