But to each his...or her own.
He leaned back as she turned around in response to his comment "Professor McGonagall..." he answered moving his gaze to meet hers, briefly wondering what kind of response he would get to that. Granted it wasn't Dumbledore or Potter but it was his family history.
Selina blinked twice when he said that Minerva McGonagall was his Great Aunt. You had to be half-blind and stupid to not know who Minerva McGonagall was in the Wizarding World. She was one of the most instrumental witches in the Great War and at the Battle of Hogwarts where Harry Potter had destroyed Lord Voldermort. She had only heard the story a million times when she was little. However, the fact that Gideon was related to her was amazing. Her mother would have a panic attack if she found out. Sophie Skylar wrote her disortation on the influential women of the Battle of Hogwarts.
But she did not want to make Gideon feel awkward about the whole Minerva McGonagall thing. Sure, Selina thought she was an amazing woman, but she would keep that to herself. No need to have a panic attack in front of Gideon. He already probably thought she was crazy, he did not want him to think any less of her than he most likely already did.
She nodded at his answer and turned back to the sculpture,
"That's cool. She was a pretty awesome lady. 'Course I'm a fan of her Great nephew... don't tell him that though."
