She quickly straightened her stance and looked at Headmistress Truebridege and greeted her.
"Good evening Heasmistress. I'm sorry that my early exit from Astronomy class without Professor Burbage's permission has caused so much problems. I am doing better now.[/b]"Alyssa replied before quickly looking down. She had a feeling that what was going to be said next was not going to be good news. Quote:

Obviously Alyssa was having a rough year and it made her feel empathy for the girl. "But ... did you ever stop to consider that perhaps leaving after the comment would be close to admitting guilt? That sometimes it is better to just ignore, then to let ... remarks get to you?" Something that obviously Burbage had to learn if she was believing what the gossip paper wrote about her.
Before Fina could continue, she heard footsteps coming up the stairwell and turned to have a look of who it was. Oh, it was just the Boss!Lady; "Hello.... Headmistress." She said, smiling gratefully that she was able to come offer her input.
At least her story was consistent in leaving early from Astronomy. But doing fine? That was something that Fina knew better, given all that Alyssa herself had told her just five minutes ago, but then again at the start of the term.
Inhaling deeply, she looked to the Headmistress first, before then looking at Alyssa. Hopefully Annie would approve of what she was about to say next. "Alyssa? I think, what you need is some time away from the school, just to collect yourself. Relax. So it is at this point, from tomorrow morning, that myself and the Headmistress have arranged for you to take a one month leave of absence. Don't worry about the work missed, as we'll send you regular updates." Hmm, was it really the girl's abrupt departure that had caused 'so many' problems? Anastasia thought otherwise, and knew Hadley did too. She gave the girl a tight-lipped smile and moved a little closer, waiting for the Head of House to give the verdict she knew was coming.
Hopefully the girl wouldn't just fall apart on the spot there, because Annie did NOT deal with criers.
"Yes, Alyssa, we think this is for the best," she added in after Hadley had spoken. "We'd like you to take a 'mental health break' as we'll call it, for your sake and for the sake of your peers." They shouldn't be subjected to her ... erratic behavior whenever something small went wrong. "As Professor Hadley said, it's no trouble at all to owl you your missed work, and you'll be able to complete it at your leisure now instead of on strict deadlines. Plus, I'll even speak to Professor Burbage about the House Points loss and see about her reversing her decision."
What had the girl even lost points for? She didn't call the woman OLD, did she??!
