I was talking to Blaise one day and he mentioned he saw Astoria in Diagon Alley, they chatted for a while, and he learned she just started her firm as a luxury real estate agent. It all seemed perfect: a weird coincidence that looked like fate, so that’s why I contacted her. She’s also an old friend from my Hogwarts days so long meetings with her would sometimes turn into dinners."
