Because, sure, the woman might be retired now, but she still must have an influence on people? If not for the fear of losing their spots here, they would at least be more amiable for the old days' sake. She wished her relatives were in the school too, or at higher points at least, but - no, it didn't matter. That would be cheating, and she wouldn't cheat.

Yeah, but maybe that's because he was... what, second? third? year. Still, she was going to believe him. "I hope it never happens again," she said in a distressed tone, and then smiled brightly when he agreed. She was going to have a company!

"I don't know anywhere, so you can take me to the places you think are important." No, that was a lie. As someone who had read Hogwarts: A History two times plus writing down everything her dad could remember about the castle, she KNEW all that could be known from outside the castle, but such small lies hurt nobody.

Ha, too bad for him. That got another small smile out of David. "Eh, sometimes. I know the ones she hired, but a lot of them left last term." He had been looking forward to bothering Culloden for AT LEAST six terms, as an example, but he supposed that guy was as old as his mum (you could tell from his hair). So he was allowed to retire. Dakest, though, he shouldn't have left. Grrrr.

Anywaaay. Miss Moss seemed nice enough and he approved that she disapproved of the food fight. He'd just been reading on or under the table the entire time anyway. It didn't SEEM like he'd missed much, besides the Gryffindors losing a ton of points.

"Well, that's a tricky task," David chuckled. Did she know how big this school REALLY was? "Important how? Places which you need to know to get to class on time or early?" She seemed like the early-to-class type, like him. "Or places you should know because they're important if you need to hide something or stay hidden yourself? Or places which are historically important because Hogwarts has been such a boon to wizarding history, particularly in the last century or so?"

He blinked from behind his specs and waited patiently for Katharine to decide which level of importance she wanted most.
