"Look, I'll be blunt. We need an Arithmancy professor and you need a reason to still be employed here. I'm glad you're good with numbers, but are you good enough? Can you teach Arithmacy? My only other option is Hadley, and she..." well, she could almost be blamed for bringing the shifty Latina in. "...has a lot on her plate already." Which was, technically, also true.
Her marriage? When had this become about Anastasia's marriage? Tiara was so confused. She had thought the Headmistress was asking about the Tanners, but apparently this was just turning into a giant mass of confusion. She gladly switched topics.
Aaaaaand all the Quidditch arguments she had been marshaling went soaring out the window. "
Oh!" she exclaimed softly. "
That is certainly not what I was expecting." She needed a moment. "
I quite agree that Josephina would not be the right option. She already has a full course load." Just like every other professor in this place. She took a deep breath. "
Yes, I can do it," she said with as much authority as she could muster. Yes, she should have consulted Jason first. But it sounded like it was this or be unemployed, and that sounded like an easy choice to the Fl-- Arithmancy professor.
