Boys are just as pathetic, I'm finding. They're just taught to hide it better.
The Beauxbatons curriculum is a bit different from ours, so when he arrived he was lacking instruction in a few specific areas (interrogative resistance, most notably), as was the same with the rest from his school. But he caught up and adjusted with minimum difficulty. He's a bit of a frustrating student, truthfully; has a marked tendency to opt for minimal defensive measures, usually deflection, but one senses he could turn the tables and go on the offensive if he chose- appears he's reluctant to do so, for whatever reason. Essays are typically top-notch, though.
He's fostered with the Jugsons. Part of my extended family, as you know.
