Adrian looked down at Maggie curiously, genuinely surprised by what she had said. He hadn't know her very well in school (or admittedly even attempted to), but from what interactions they had had, he had always assumed she was popular in her year. He did remember thinking that she had been pretty, then, and being the only girl on a quidditch team of Gryffindor boys... he had never looked much farther beyond those simple observations.
But Hogwarts having not been an adventure for her? Not a very nice witch? Adrian continued to look down at her a bit struck, and not at all believing he understood what she was saying. Surely she meant it for his benefit. To not make him feel like such the monster he had been? It was unclear.
"Josef and Adeline have Brand and Mattias blood in them," Adrian responded automatically, with little doubt in his voice. Their children, he could tell already, would be strong characters, and therefore not muddled by the anxieties and problems of their parents. Or, at least, he hoped they would be raised to envelope that mentality. "They will brush such lack of niceties off like nothing of it."
He nodded again, reaffirming his words while they walked. These corridors were tough experiences, but nothing he didn't think they wouldn't be able to handle.
