Oh, but the cookies were back! And Schmoop was offering her cookies first. Of course. "Thank you," Willow said with a little smile at the little elf, as she took one of the cookies and nibbled slowly on it. Endearing -not cute, NEVER cute- little thing, that elf was.

And Truebridge was introducing the stranger (Willow heard the name but quickly forgot it) and talking about the class, that it would be about house elves. Huh. What was there to know? House elves were bound to serve their families until their dying day, unless they were freed with a piece of cloth. That was it, really, or at least she thought so.

Either way Willow was certainly not about to complain. As long as Schmoop and his little tray of cookies did not go away, she would be fine.

"George?" Called Willow from her seat, rising one of her perfectly plucked dark eyebrows at the Angry Ministry woman, "Please do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong, Mrs. Mayes, but isn't George the kind of name one would give to a boy?" Finished the Ravenclaw looking both polite and curious.

Except ... she was hardly curious. She just wanted to get the woman talking so she spill as in to how such an angered person had ended up taking such a boring job as like being a Division head at the Ministry of ~~Morons~~ Magic, instead of playing Quidditch.

With that temper, she would have made a fine beater. People with anger issues usually were - she would know.

George raised an eyebrow.

"You're a Ravenclaw? My my, their standards have slipped since I was in that house," she remarked offhandedly. "Yes, 'George' is a name that is normally given to a boy. It's in fact a very COMMON name for a boy. You may or may not have heard of several Kings of England with this name. It is also a nickname that can sometimes, although much more rarely, given to a girl. Lots of boy's names are used for girls now, and many have simply become gender-neutral. Does that help you understand?"

Oh yes, she could play the little girl's game. George was smart, and the children were stupid.

All children are stupid. Most people are stupid.

Children especially.
