"Oh... fascinating," he murmured, wondering WHY on earth Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington was interested in a woman with tusks.

It would hardly be conducive to snogging though, so he could understand why the man had tried to do her a favour. Pity it didn't end well.

But then his brows arched at Sir Nick's question. "Uhh... confidence," he supplied casually. "Women love it, just tell them what you want and you'll get it," he nodded, which was something he had learned along the way... the fruits of his labour, Sir Nicholas, use the advice wisely.

Fascinating was an understatement, young man. The ghost even had an ode written and memorised now for centuries about the whole ordeal. Which he would gladly perform whether or not prompted to do so.

But the current climate of their conversation was steering them away from such gloating.

"Confidence," he repeated. Sir Nicholas certainly had that despite
Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore's best efforts. "So you are suggesting that I just come right out and say it? Just float right up to her and declare, 'Helena of Ravenclaw, I wish to court thee?'"
