"Oh," Lavender said, shaking his hand politely. "Not at all." She wasn't at all sure what to expect from this, but so far it could be worse. She'd always thought Lee was exceptionally charming, especially when he'd used to do the Quidditch announcements back in the day. It wasn't him that made her nervous, only the prospect of putting herself out there in front of everyone. Of course she'd already done that in a very public letter. And someone had to do it, right? She couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for all the Muggle werewolves to stand up for themselves in wizarding society. So someone had to do it for them. She didn't even know any other werewolves who weren't her pack, since Lupin had died. "Thank you for inviting me," she added, somewhat belatedly.
