Once, as a guise of helping Antonin with her training, Roddy offered to teach her how to become an animagus. He was selective in the people he revealed his secret to and she'd felt honored when he was kind enough to offer her a possible escape from the life she had been forced into. Transfiguration had always been one of her best subjects in school. Not only had it been terribly fascinating, but she admired Professor McGonagall so much that she wanted to impress the witch. Training to be an animagus, however, took a great deal more concentration and patience than she possessed. Roddy understood. He smiled, squeezed her hand, and promised her that if the time ever came that she needed his assistance, he would be there. Some days, he had been the only person in the Inner Circle she didn't want to murder.
