Not for the first time I find myself regretting the unfortunate circumstances of Severus' bloodline. Had he been a pureblood I might have found him acceptable. He is intelligent, skilled and loyal. Not exactly personable but that is a flaw that can be corrected. But it is not to be however. It will be several generations before his bloodline is returned to something approaching acceptable.
Not as yet. It is frustrating but as I married late I am prepared to give him a little more time.
You are the mentor for Rabastan Lestrange, are you not? What is your opinion of that young man.
