Genie followed half a step behind Alicia, grateful that her request for privacy had been so easily granted. She was paranoid, perhaps, but everything in her experience, both before and after her getting turned into a werewolf, pointed to the upmost need for caution. She sat on the front of her seat and started to make herself a cup of coffee, more to give her hands something to do than for a desire for something to drink.
"Thank you. I appreciate that," she said and then sighed. "I'm just going to be blunt, then, because I'm no good at subtlety or having a light touch." She gathered her not inconsiderable Gryffindor courage around her. "My... foster brother, for lack of a better term, is eleven and he's going to go to Hogwarts in the fall. He, like me, is a werewolf, bitten during the war. You can see the obvious problems, I'm sure," she said, laying it out there even more bluntly than she'd possibly intended, her eyes raising to meet Alicia's in a look that was half challenge and half assessment to see how she would react to this information.
