Eliza headed into the greenhouse with her bag over her shoulder and her thick robes wrapped tightly around her. Chilly weather was definitely there and she was not about to be caught outdoors without her wool socks. She hated being too cold. Things that you were prepared for like making snowmen or walking to Hogsmeade were fine, because then you usually bundled up so that you were intentionally not too cold. But being colder than you could help avoiding? No thanks. Lucky for her though, the greenhouse was nice and balmy.
"Hello Professor Bentley!" It was only when she'd gotten closer that she noticed the woman's stomach. Has she been pregnant this whole time? Like, all year? She tried not to stare, but couldn't help from looking again. Well obviously she would have had to have been pregnant all year to be this big by now. How didn't I notice before? Unless.... She crossed the room to grab a spot at a workspace near Lex, still thinking. Unless she's not pregnant? Did a plant sting her in the belly or something? She'd wait for more evidence in either direction before making any more assumptions.
