After all, at least she wasn't expected to make the plans, just go along with them. That was easy enough. Of course she wasn't surprised at her mention of Bennett, he was one of the few she expected to be poking around other levels, "Apologies," she stated briefly, her eyes scanning the faces in the seating area before returning to Victoria. "You can expect to see him around more regularly, other security personnel too," she informed with a nod, "the division has gone soft over the years, but rest assured if you should need anything..." that they were there.
She could tell Vic wasn't too confident on that point. The maybe was heavy with uncertainty, which was a shame, because if anyone ever needed a break it was when expecting twins. Again, mind boggling. "Oh... happy belated birthday," she congratulated, unsure of whether she should have known about this or not. Most people did celebrate their ageing. "You should do it," she encouraged, "go for it." Because really, what was the worst thing that could go wrong? At any rate, it was her decision, and personally she wouldn't be tempted by such things, she'd get bored too quickly.
"Oh he'll be fine then," she chimed in. Hogwarts was as good a school as any, and closer to home than Australia, so it had its perks. "Durmstrang would be a suitable alternative if things don't work out," she added as an after thought. The school was notoriously strict. She would know. Emily chuckled at Vic's appreciation for her offer. It was rather generous of her, she had to admit to herself - but it would also be amusing in that self-fulfilling way. She simply nodded, with nothing further to add on the matter.
Emily was smirking at Vic's denial. No face attacking then? Heh. "Well he didn't see it that way, but I had a feeling he was exaggerating." It didn't take a genius to figure that one out. "He did, and I have to ask... what possessed you to participate in the trial in the first place?" It was the most ridiculous thing she'd heard, and there was nothing, nobody, not even Izzy would convince her to try the darn thing. The controlling part got her attention, but she narrowed her brows in thought on it.. she could see that, in part, but she would hardly call him a control freak - at least, not to the extent of some MLEers. "Fun? How?" she wondered out loud at the last bit.
Victoria gave a slight shrug,
“No reason for apologies. I was just busy with my work and wasn’t aware anyone had come in is all. He hadn’t done anything wrong for me to be frightened. Just always on guard I guess.” Which really she wasn’t usually a very trusting person, maybe it was the babies that made her mamma bear protection jump higher. Oh more personnel around. She thought about the reason behind this, but didn’t think long when Emily started to explain.
“Is it because of that woman getting away? They don’t think she is still around the area do they?” Honestly she had read things, but wasn’t sure what to believe plus if Bart was going to school at Hogwarts was it safe.
“I’m not sure what they would actually find up in our area, but I don’t mind seeing more security.” Anything to keep them safe made this thirty four year old feel better.
She gave a small smile as Em gave a happy birthday,
“Oh thank you, it wasn’t much of a day really. So much was going on with Charely’s nephew it was just kind of pushed aside.” Bart remembered so that’s what counted and her best friend the rest wasn’t really that big of a deal.
“Oh you’re probably right I should get away. A weekend of relaxation does sound kind of nice. Maybe the next time I go to the healer I’ll make sure it’s fine for a trip and then go.” She wouldn’t want to go somewhere and end up in labor or something. That wouldn’t be good.
“Don’t forget to take your own advice at times. Get away and relax. I bet you haven’t stopped since getting this position.” Emily seemed to be a worker that really didn’t give herself enough time to relax.
She cringed at the thought o Durmstrang, that’s where Luc had been. No she would never send a child there ever.
“Hogwarts will be fine. His father threatened a muggle school I think that threat alone made him decide he had to force selfcontrol.” Not that muggle schools were horrible, but what wizard would want to go to one of those if they had a wand and magic. None that she could think of at least.
“Gavin exaggerate..” She laughed the man was afraid of probably his own mothers touch of course a woman kissing him would flip him out to know end. When she asked the question Vic laughed out loud,
“Oh.. that.” Yes why would a single mother participate in some silly love potion.
“Bored really. I had been here for two years didn’t really know anyone and decided it was time to get out and try something new.” She continued to laugh thinking about it.
“Wouldn’t you know the day I signed up for it was the day I met Charely. Talk about awkward. So we go on our first date and I have to tell him that the next day I would be taking some silly love potion.” Luckily Charely didn’t mind and stuck with her through it even after her kissing another man. She gave Emily a brow raise to her questioning the fun part. Really did her friend live at the ministry and not date.. Hmm she shook her head,
“Oh I don’t know. Mess with him a bit to push his buttons. Control freaks can be a bit fun in relationships at times.” She shrugged well she thought so at least.
