"Andrew's a Ravenclaw, and a smart-ass. Astoria's Slytherin... Muggles can be good people, too. I had a Muggle dance teacher in Oxford. She was quite sharp, and certainly cultured." Daphne took a sip of her Scotch.
"Yeah, I guess I'll be working the fields or something like that. I'm sure they'll give me training, but not quite sure doing what exactly," Daphne said. She couldn't imagine digging in the dirt as Adrian had been doing earlier, at least not for days on end. She hadn't really liked Herbology in school. The concepts were interesting and some of the plants were beautiful, but handling dirt and manure was not for her. "Of course, they could assign me to take care of livestock." She nearly shuddered. "Or security. Not sure what that entails." But security seemed to be the least of the three evils. Perhaps she would have a job doing that.
