"Oh," she gave Hermione an apologetic look. "I didn't mean to stir the pot," she cringed a bit. From what she knew, it was rather strange to hear that Ron was following the rules, but Hestia wouldn't press the matter further.
She ordered some white pudding to silence her stomach before turning to Hermione and grinning. "I couldn't agree more, it's quite a relief knowing that with Samantha there. It's meant to be a safe place," she said rather poignantly.
Hestia rested her chin in her hand, smiling softly. "You might want to owl her about this group. Having a Headmistress in our ranks could never hurt." She shrugged softly.
