Hermione honestly didn't know how Teddy reacted around Muggles or if they even took him out. She tended to limit her interactions to the times when Harry brought him to the flat. "That's a question better answered by Harry. I don't spend as much time with him."
As Seamus turned the board Hermione took a look a the pieces. She hated going first. The initial move set the stage for how the game would unfold. Of course there were opportunities beyond that maneuver the game into one's favor. After calling her move she addressed Seamus' question. "Sorry I don't know of any chefs. It's a shame there haven't been any strides in equal rights for house elves. I'm sure there are several that would prefer to work for you if given the choice."
