alt_ginnyI saw Honoria Sandoval today because we met up in New London for ice cream. I just needed to
Anyway she told me her sister Lana Sandoval-Pennifold is going to be the new Dark Arts professor. Not for the NEWT students, just all the younger ones -- Honoria was relieved about that because she says she can't imagine ANYTHING worse than having to have a class from Lana.
She was a little surprised because she doesn't think Lana will be a very good teacher (and she certainly hasn't ever acted interested in teaching!) but apparently Dolohov is going to tutor her personally in Dark Arts so she can 'have her Mastery,' what does that even mean? I mean there are standards for Mastery in Potions and that actually means something, like you're allowed to brew certain very difficult potions and people can trust them, so what's a Mastery in Dark Arts for, exactly?
Honoria had no idea but said her sister's a Ravenclaw through and through and they'll do ANYTHING for more knowledge and they'll stand on their head and whistle if that's what it takes to get a special paper saying they're the CLEVEREST AND BEST EVER. (And then she admitted Luna's nothing like that, but she thinks Luna should've been Sorted into Gryffindor with the two of us, anyway.)
