From his own House<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Nia Byrne</div><div class="spoiler_body">A muggle.  Such a shame, really, as I would not have guessed upon seeing her in class or demonstrating her rather rare ability.  She is a curious one, and a credit to the House.  Her academic aptitude has brought a fair amount of points to our House, and I have learned from her as well.  It pains me to think how great she could have been with pure blood.  Of course, she doesn't see that.  She's been brainwashed like so many others.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Xavril Robeson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Muggleborn and American.  This House has become a mockery of itself.  Unlike our other "special muggle," this one doesn't even try to adapt to the life of a wizard.  He has one trick, and I shall grant that it is a fine one, even among animagi, but still just one trick, and that does not a true wizard make.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Vidya Ayers</div><div class="spoiler_body">She's a decent enough witch, seems to put a small amount of effort into everything.  She always seems on the verge of falling asleep in class, though.  Maybe if she didn't waste her energy playing Quidditch she'd be more awake.  Of course, that is far from her only misplaced priority.  Even after all these years, it pains me to see someone who does not understand the importance of pure blood, which she has.  I shall endeavor not to think too poorly of her for it.  Perhaps the mudblood problem is less a threat in India and she is simply sheltered, and she is still younger. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Valerie O'Reilly</div><div class="spoiler_body">The daughter of a blood traitor.  More and more of them every day.  Her mother must have been an enticing woman to ruin a pure wizard.  Her charms seem to have been inherited as well.  She is attractive and ambitious, and seems capable of taking on more than she could handle.</div></div><br/>From the other Houses<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Alexander D'Artagnan VII</div><div class="spoiler_body">A very curious man.  His bloodline would be almost unheard of here in England, if it is as pure as it sounds, yet he devotes his life to muggle pursuits.  Why bother with a sword when you can command true power?  It is not as though he is a weak wizard, though he could be stronger if it weren't for his constant swordplay.  Still, I understand that is tradition in his family, which I suppose is commendable enough.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">John Summerby</div><div class="spoiler_body">The problem.  He studies and zips around on a broom, and everyone thinks he has this great future as a wizard, when he is barely a wizard at all.  I could tolerate well enough were he humble, or actually concerned with becoming a better wizard and not wasting such an undeserved gift, but he only seems to care about athletics, the passion of muggles.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Penelope Blackthorn</div><div class="spoiler_body">Another witch that has a great amount of potential, yet distracts herself with meaningless games.  I shan't fault her overly much, though, as she is quite dedicated to her potions.  Ravenclaw are known to have some eccentricities, after all, and she does not seem to take the game too seriously.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Edgar Crowley</div><div class="spoiler_body">I was certainly relieved to discover that not all from Ireland were as odd as he.  Were he more intelligent, Ravenclaw would be a better fit for one with his social oddities.  Still, I suppose Gryffindor suits him well enough.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Desiree Elvire Guillory</div><div class="spoiler_body">I am pained to admit it, but muggleborn women are not without appeal.  Perhaps that is how they compensate for their lack of magic.  Everything about her suggests I should stay clear of her.  I should.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Veronica Ravenshire</div><div class="spoiler_body">I am fortunate to have her.  Pure blood, a focus on magical pursuits, and quite lovely.  Her magic isn't as strong as I'd like, but that is likely due to personality, as she isn't very forceful.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Katrina Ravenshire</div><div class="spoiler_body">Extremely brash and with a predisposition for athletic competition that I find wasteful, yet there is much to find appealing.  She shares some of my views toward blood strength and has a decent amount of magical talent.  With the right mentoring, she could be powerful.  I only wonder how Veronica would feel about my willingness to spend such time with her sister.</div></div>
