"Still picked Hufflepuff, though," Lucy said, meaning either Rich or the Sorting Hat itself. "That says something." Logically, she knew that all Slytherins couldn't bad bad - even though in her school days that had certainly been her experience. At least she knew better of purebloods - Ernie had always been good to her, and never once blamed her struggle with magic on her heritage. "Not that I'm turning down conversation over wine. Sounds like your story is far more interesting than mine."

She listened as he related some of his history, almost surprised by how he spoke against the Ministry. She'd always assumed - or hoped - that it was better now the war was over, but Rich wasn't the first person she'd spoken to who still seemed to have reservations. Lucy's own experience hadn't been positive, though she did have to balance that against knowing that Susan and others still worked in and supported the Ministry. "Mmm, safe and sedate isn't really my style," she said, giving a slight laugh. Danger in the magic world still scared her, a little. She certainly didn't want to go through another war, but 'sedate' didn't really describe her life in muggle London.

She nodded. "I don't know how much of it is down to drive and how much is down to... doing what I had to do, with some luck thrown in. Hogwarts wouldn't take me back and my family don't make enough to support me indefinitely. So I had to get a job. It turned out I was good with numbers, so I moved up. I didn't remotely have a plan." Still, it was nice to hear it classed as 'drive' rather than pure coincidence.

"I think it'll take some getting used to," she said honestly. "But I'm willing to try."
