So far, Harmony was entirely confused as to what any of this had to do with her. It was unfortunate that William had found himself on Emily's bad side but honestly, there was no law against being frank in a social setting. So while she frowned upon William's behavior because it was perhaps distasteful, he was free to think and do as he pleased as long as he wasn't causing serious harm to others especially creatures. "People's behavior depends on setting, company, and level of comfort. Perhaps if William was being so blunt with you, it was because he felt he had permission to be. If he believes you to be a friend, perhaps he feels he can speak to you as he pleases." Lines between work and home could sometimes be blurred and perhaps this was one of those cases. Again, she couldn't really do much about this. As far as Emily overlooking his behavior, Harmony merely smiled. She wasn't sure what kind of repercussions could be set in motion in relation to a conversation that became uncomfortable. Perhaps her fellow Department Head should set clearer boundaries or have a powwow with William. She could borrow the red head's talking stick for the occasion. It had come in handy at staff meetings.
Summers..."Ashby." Department of Mysteries, correct? Harmony leaned forward in her seat slightly, interested in the fact that he was requesting background checks on Williamson. The man had been a Professor at Hogwarts, had he not? Surely he wasn't a hardened criminal. Trespassing was a bit worrisome though. "While I see how Williamson's curious nature could be bothersome to some, the man is a researcher. He likes to find answers." Which is what made him so good at his job. "I can speak to him about the trespassing and warn him that in the future, any visits should be scheduled by me after discussing it with fellow Department Heads." She was more than willing to do that, in fact. "Other than that, I'm not sure what more I can do." And she sat back in her seat again, eyes falling on a small unicorn-shaped wall clock above the door frame. She really needed to start her meditation soon.
