"Hmmm. Interesting Gryffindor answer. I'm sure if some god wanted Harry to marry any of my children, it would have the courtesy of telling me first. Especially if it's at Hogwarts." Molly crossed her arms and regarded the applicant coolly for a moment. "If you couldn't teach anyone your fighting style, do you think you could teach some basic self-defense? I can think of at least one person here at Hogwarts who could use the training."
"No," Molly said with a rueful smile. "The gods don't speak to me. But it wouldn't surprise me if people who think they're gods actually are here. And no, my friend isn't dead. Wouldn't that be a little... counterproductive to teaching self-defense?"
"There are zombies and vampires here. Why shouldn't there be gods?" Cammy pointed at Laura. "She's a zombie. A nice, clean zombie, but still dead. She said there were other dead people here, too, so I had to ask. Maybe the dead people don't want other people to knock their bits off?"
Molly shrugged. "Well, I suppose that would make sense. I might be a bit worried about that, too, if I were dead. But I'm just a witch, not a vampire or zombie, thank goodness." She smoothed her hands over her apron and said briskly, "Any house preferences?"

"I think I could teach them some self-defense," she said. "They have to be a fast learner, and not dead, though."
