Summary
Eleanor wants it to be known, fully and clearly, for the record, that she had every intention of behaving as the perfect model of grace and feminine gentility at the Beaumont Ball that Saturday, if only for the sake of her brother’s reputation.
She takes no responsibility for anything strange, or dare she say, magical, that may have occurred on that night.
——————————————————
“Before marrying your father, the muggle Viscount of Beaumont, your mother was Jane Moody. I suppose that name doesn’t mean much to you both, but that’s a wizarding family with a long history of powerful witches and wizards in it, and many of them have been amazing aurors, your mother included. One of the best in fact.But we all believed her two children to be muggles, due to your father’s non-magical blood. Neither of you ever showed any of the signs in your early years.”
“This is utterly absurd.” Thomas begins to walk away.
“That you know nothing of this when your mother was a bloody Moody? I agree. Absurd indeed.”
Heart suddenly racing in her chest, Eleanor steps closer.
“Mr. Filch, sir…what are you implying?”
“What I’m implying is that you’re one ‘ell of a late bloomer, Miss Beaumont.”
