But then she opened her mouth.
A single eyebrow rose. Unexpected and...was the girl really giving him her blessings?"Interesting how you refer to my wife as Professor yet for me, nothing." Favouritism maybe? Hm? Had she not adored him as a Professor?
"Just tea please. And perhaps a cup for yourself as well." Yeah, go ahead, have one. He allowed it.
Louisa couldn't help but smirk widely at Dash's
she was calling him that in her head okay? okay statement. Jealous, was he? Bahaha. "
Professor Althea is one of the people I look up to, even now. She was encouraging, and didn't think I was worthless." Like some History professors, not naming names or anything.
Anyway. Tea. Okaaaay, British much? She nodded, ignored his 'allowing' her one too and went to fetch them a cup of tea, a cup of coffee and a plate of doughnuts. Dash Scabior was dry enough, some fatty chocolate pastries gotta balance things out for her. It didn't take long, thankfully, and soon Louisa was back with the waiter, who looked sour-faced, touchy staff she didn't mean to '
badger' anyone geez. "
Thank you."
Now off you go.
"
Ahem." She took a sip of her coffee, trying to find the appropriate way to start. "
I think it's mandatory that you know I've studied Diplomacy and Wizarding Relations in the WU in Wellington." So she wasn't practically bragging... except her tone was awfully proud. "
I graduated a few months ago, and my graduation thesis rose to the expectations of my professors there. I worked really hard for four years, and I'm happy to learn they think it's worth publishing." Her fingers were nervously tapping her coffee cup. "
Then, uhh, I want to work on it a little more. Well, not a little, a lot. I am working on changing it from just a thesis to a book. For everyone to read."

... catching her drift?
