There was a bookshelf with a large selection of books, which Hayden admired for a while. She loved books, because she loved knowledge, but most of them were about numbers and math or whatever and that was not a subject she particularly liked. She also spotted a dog and a cat, both of which looked nice but Hayden didn't make any move to try and pet either of them. "How was your break?" She asked. Hayden spotted several pictures sitting on the desk and wondered if they were professor Hadley's family, and if she'd spent time with any of them. She knew she'd had a baby recently, so she'd probably spent a lot of time with...him?
What was she supposed to say? Should she introduce herself? Probably, but she'd just asked a question so she should probably wait until she got an answer before starting a new topic of conversation. She didn't know exactly what she was supposed to talk about, as she hadn't come to talk about anything specific. Her family had just told her that having a good relationship with her Head of House was a good idea. She wasn't opposed to the idea, Hadley seemed very nice, she was just nervous and didn't know where to start. She should have baked her cookies or something. Josephina watched inquisitively as the young first year walked slowly around her room, taking it all in. Smiling and nodding at Hayden, she waited mostly for the girl to do the talking and initiating. As it was, she had wanted to meet with her, so she probably had a specific reason in mind? "It was good. Catching up with my husband and son," Fina said casually, glancing lovingly at the moving photo. "The cold is making me miss them already though and honestly I've no idea when i might be able to see them again. With the forecasts, they say getting to Hogsmeade might even be difficult." She paused, wondering how much this girl knew of the magical world. "You've heard about Hogsmeade, right?" Quote:

Not that Els was insinuating that Professor Hadley had ever been porky. Just pregnant. And 35 weeks was pretty much the end! Had she accidentally found out the gender? Oh gosh. "I think it's a lovely name, though." And now she knew the name, she could go back and stitch something with his name. She was obviously a genius, right? "That's like when I was born. They didn't choose until I was born. Couldn't decide between Elodie, Rosalie or Odette." Personally, she was glad that they had gone with Elodie.
The seventh year shrugged like it was no big deal really and wiggled her nose. "It was no trouble. Gotta remind the kid that he has a million and one older siblings." And that Elodie Robertser had been the best one ever. It also meant that maybe she could pry her way in and babysit after graduation. She was good at that. Auntie Elodie was the favourite family member to all three little Robertsers.
Two sets of twins? "Two? I know there are triplets... Right? One of them looks like she was adopted though, because..." Oh. That was probably what Professor Hadley had meant about the twins. Two of them looked alike, and the other seemed adopted. Not that Elodie meant anything bad by that.. "The ones I was talking about were the Aldrich twins. Third years. Halcyon is in our house, and her sister Coral-Bay in Ravenclaw.. I'm not sure how Coral-Bay is coping, but... Halcyon didn't seem too peachy the first night. I helped her settle in first night." And she'd kept an eye on her too and tried her hardest to keep up with her or something. It was hard keeping up with kids when you were trying to keep up with your own emotions and stuff. "Babies are cute... I think I want to deliver them, you know?" Career aspirations, yo. Well wasn't her prefect just blunt with everything. Hadley smiled nonetheless at comments. "Everyone is different in regards to pregnancy. Some people don't show until five or six months, for me, I just I suspected it, but I wasn't sure until about four months. Gender I just didn't really want to know, but the mediwizard convinced us we should know." "It was still a sweet gesture regardless." Hadley nodded, smiling at the million and one older siblings. Cute. Very funny there.
Triplets?!? OH by merlin?! There were TRIPLETS? Wait wait ... surely Elodie was referring to AJ and Angel, because it was just the two of them, wasn't it? Or not. But she was referring a different set of twins; Aldrich twins. One was a Hufflepuff the one the mattered to Hadley, of course. "Ah well thank you." For you know, doing your job? As Prefect. See now Hadley knew she'd made the right choice with Elodie as Prefect. "Healers and mediwizards are a very in-demand field, you know. St Mungos has a valuable career training program too," Hadley went on, shuffling through her drawer of career pamphlets. She wasn't an expert by any means in most of them, but she knew most of the options out there as well as alternatives. "You'll definitely want to make sure you've got a solid 'E' in Potions, Charms, Herbology, and Transfiguration NEWTs, if you're considering a medical field. And probably at least two others too." She handed Elodie the pamphlet on healing, before glancing at the clock. "Oh my I hate to do this to you though, but I really must be off now. We'll talk later though in the term in regards to more options, just review that for now, and see you soon?" Rising from her chair, she stood to usher the seventh year gently from her office.
