It's dreadfully frustrating at times, but we have to turn it to our advantage. People who underestimate us are far too unguarded about their words and actions. Because they think we don't matter, they think we don't notice.
I had to attend to my studies to convince my parents there was a value in letting me stay at school. It was worth the effort, I think. We shall put your skill in Potions to good use - you might teach Arcturus that, and Apparition if you like, and I'll look into the rest. Do you think that Lucius would find it a burden to be asked to help?
I haven't spoken to him, no, but I've seen some of his writings. I'm not sure that we want a person like him to have any influence over Arcturus?
Perhaps he'll have some books on the topic which you can borrow?
