[ Bill looks away, returning to his worried pacing, but when Louis mentions being a Slytherin, he does a double take.
Slytherin. His son was in Slytherin. That wasn't something he ever expected to hear. Suppose that makes sense why he'd be friends with the Malfoy boy, but...
It doesn't matter. Louis is still his son, no matter where the Sorting Hat placed him. And he's obviously an adult now. What does House loyalty matter when you're out of school?
Bill nods. What's more important is what Louis goes on to say. ]
That could come in handy. I'm hesitant to use you as a spy, but... [ He sighs. ] There's no Order of the Phoenix yet. It could get dangerous, trying to start one.
