"I remember the day you walked in the Great Hall. Already close to Potter and I felt so drawn to you. I wanted to tell you everything, but I couldn’t. Everyone was watching the ceiling and there you were, already lecturing others and showing off your intelligence. Your mother was so smart and liked to show it off. But then you looked at me and I could see the brown eyes and I just wished they were green and your hair black. I expected you to be a Ravenclaw, even had a bet with Minirva on it. She checked in on you over the years. Apparently you really love cats and want to pet every one you see," he chuckles lightly.
