"My family's always been neutral, 'cos we're only on the side of the dragons. When we were taught Clan MacFusty history, even Grindelwald didn't bother us," Siobhan said. She wasn't sure whether her father or mother would stand by that decision in these obviously tumultuous times. When they argued with Alistair -- before he left in a big kerfuffle -- it hadn't been about what side he was on; rather, it was only about bringing danger to the clan's livelihood (and its members). With a shrug, she continued, "We're allowed to do what we want."

Siobhan knew Kyle was on the same side as her brother and Maggie, mostly because of his family connections that even Slughorn seemed wary of. She didn't want to say, 'No, I don't see myself being evil,' for fear of scaring him off with her goody-two-shoes ways, even if she wasn't. She rubbed her chin again in thought.

"I'll stay on whatever side Alistair's on, since he always looks out for me," she decided. "What about you?"
