Or maybe the new Head would only see students in uniform?

This Hogwarts was a lot different than the Hogwarts of Presley's third year. Before she'd gone to Beauxbatons last year. Everything seemed to have changed. Even the Astronomy professor was different, and Presley hated the new one. But that wasn't why she was here.

Trying her very best to act the way she was raised, and not let on to the woman how really nervous she was Presley looked her right in the eye, but not in a challenging way, more in an assertive way. Jacob would be proud. "Yes. If you have a minute, may I speak with you?" She did need something. Something more than a look of possible distaste at the outfit Presley had adored when she put it on that morning, but now would be tossing in the garbage as soon as she took it off.

There was nothing wrong with the outfit, really, Anastasia was just not used to seeing students dress so... nicely. It was a pleasant surprise. Not that the girl would ever hear that compliment coming out of her mouth.

"Sure. I have a minute now. Go ahead." She had to resist looking at her watch.

"In class we were studying fire crabs whose shells can contain such precious gems as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds," she began, giving a bit of some back story to her question. "The hour glasses that keep track of the house points contain these gems as well, and I was just wondering if some of them came from fire crabs...or if not where they did come from."

Cue a raised eyebrow of concern from the Headmistress now? Possibly?

Right, so no denim here. That was good. As for the question... well did Anastasia look like a historian? No. Perhaps Newlin had been thinking of her husband, the other Truebridge.

"I don't think they do, Kurumi," she answered flatly, "but I can't tell you for certain where they came from or when they were replaced; however, my common sense tells me that it would be far less expensive and damaging to the environment to harvest the gems in the hourglasses from a mine, for example, rather than from a firecrab." She gave the girl a look that said really?

"If you'd like a more precise answer, I'd recommend doing some research in the library. Will that be all?" She should have just bidden the girl good day....
