In most personal interactions, Lavender could be shy, yet sweet. Teddy found he liked asking her questions about what it had been like, during the war before and just after he was born.

At the same time, there were things that Teddy would have preferred not knowing, such as this little nugget Lavender had blurted out one day during work: "I dated your uncle once. Briefly, during my sixth year."
