Well, yeah. I did know, but Mum and Dad always talk about her as though she's someone they really trust. Or trust with us, which they don't everyone, y'know? I mean Mum gets really upset about the fact that the Carrows are here as teachers. And I don't think she was all that happy to hear about Professor Lestrange coming. But maybe that was partly that he was replacing Professor Lockhart, and even after what he did, the rotten fraud, she'd never let any of us say anything against him.
Anywiz, Mum likes the headmistress. I mean, I've heard her talking to Dad and she called the headmistress by her given name. Y'know, Minerva.
I think they must have known her for ages. Well, I mean sort of more than just as Bill and Charlie's teacher or our headmistress. I mean maybe they had her as their Transfiguration teacher when they were at school.
D'you think that's right? She is loads older than they are. I think. But then I can't imagine they'd call her by her given name if that's the way they knew her. It's almost like, I dunno, like maybe Mum served on some committee with her or summat. To get to know her that well. Or maybe--
