Jared had always thought he did not like being mistaken because he fell into the latter category.

Renée. "I'd say you have a beautiful name but, being French, I'd be biased." He smiled again, a real smile this time. "So. Renée. Does this mean you're French?" He'd realized, a few years ago, how common it had become for un-French people to have French names.

"Your subject -" He quietly picked up his fork again - "has given me more trouble than manticores. I failed the first time I sat a Divination exam, and dropped it in my third year. My Inner Eye is clearly either exhausted of me, or on a lifelong vacation." He smiled again, a self-mocking but full-of-humour kind of smile.

Renée didn't need her ability to know Jared agreed with her on the mistaken thing. The wry smile said more than even his thoughts would, and besides, it was almost fun trying to learn things about him without using that. Testing her other social skills, which hadn't gotten a lot of use when she'd been among students. So far it seemed Hogwarts was going to be way more interesting than any of her jobs in New York. Which only made her that much happier that she could be there, returning to her old school and everything.

Another smile graced her face at the compliment, though. "Well, thank you. Even if you are biased," she said, feeling an odd sense of accomplishemnt as his accompanying smile seemed more genuine than any of the others. "Sadly, no. I've been to France, though. Actually, I'm half English, half American," she replied. She always attributed her name to the fact her mother was an actress. Like she had felt the need to give her daughter an exotic name or something because of it. It was interesting, really. And as he spoke of Divination, a wry grin of her own appeared on her face. "I see. Maybe we'll have to change that," she responded, "Sometimes, honestly, I wonder if it's all a matter of having an Inner Eye, or just practice." She never had seen herself as any sort of a Seer, after all. Just adept at reading the Tarot, for some reason. And thoughts, but that wasn't connected to her subject. "And if it makes you feel any better, I can't say I'd do very well with manticores either."
