Going over what Ansley had just said to her in her mind a few times it did make sense. Even if it would be tougher to accomplish that didn't at all mean she would give it, it just meant she would try all that much more harder. When she wanted something bad enough Hady would make it happen. "Oh, well I suppose that makes sense."

Mondays. Check. Seven O'clock after dinner. Check. She would be there. "That sounds great Sir, thank you," she answered with a small smile.

Hadleigh seemed like a good student and hard-worker from the little bit he had talked to her, and her affirmative answer didn't surprise him. In fact it was rather encouraging that she seemed as motivated as she did. It would do her well in many aspects of her life, and not just learning a new skill. Not to mention he'd appreciate that in anyone he would be giving extra teaching to.

"Alright, Hadleigh," he smiled. "I will see you in the art studio this Monday, then. Make sure you wear old clothing, or cast an impervious charm on what you're wearing." He did have aprons, but painting could be messy. "Did you have any other questions?" Otherwise, they'd get started on Monday. And he was rather excited about teaching someone magical portraiture.

"The rebellion my grandfather covered only lasted four years, of course nothing like the rebellions hundreds of years ago. I'm surprised that there aren't any goblin countries." Random statement.

"Professor, this is kind of topic but I have a question about Hogwarts that I've been trying to get an answer to all year." Now was Kitty's chance to ask what she'd been dying to know for ages. She pressed on excitedly. "Do you know the full backstory of the Tapestry on the fourth floor?"

Ansley listened to Kitty as she explained a little more about her grandfather's involvement. Even though the rebellion that he was in wasn't as large or prominent as the others didn't mean it wasn't an important part of history. And he was happy to listen to her story. "Hmm," he started, thinking aloud. "I guess I can't imagine any place on earth that humans, magical or not, wouldn't have established themselves." That was what she meant, right? A place for goblins all their own? "Goblins and humans do have a much better relationship now than they did in the past. I'm not so sure they'd want to segregate themselves like that."

He looked at her curiously as she changed the subject, noting she seemed rather eager to discuss this next topic. "Tapestry?" He had to think a moment about what she meant, but it didn't take him too long to remember. "Well, I do know some of it.. but I'm not sure that I know the full backstory." Did anyone ever know the full story of anything, especially if they had not been there? "Is there something in particular that you'd like to know?"
