"Oh it was my pleasure. Very entertaining. We all loved your portrayal of the Mad Hatter," he said with a smile. His children had loved the Disney films growing up, and Alice in Wonderland was one of their favourites. "Ohh er.. th-they're great. I'll see them every second weekend, we decided. Little Liesel started walking last week too!" He had been one very proud Papa. "And how are your family?"

Art nodded, as if he was expecting this question. Well, he was hoping she'd want to continue, as well. "Of course, absolutely!" He went to his filing cabinet to pull out the folder marked Miss Denaker. Inside it were loose parchments detailing what they had been working on, the recipes, the notes, questions etc. "Did you have anything in mind to start with?" he asked. He didn't want to set a schedule with the potions that she wasn't interested in. There would be no point in that. He smiled and was very glad to hear her say they had helped her. He nodded "You've been showing steady improvements, you're a smart young lady, Miss Denaker." And her desire to do more Potions helped immensely.
Hadley nodded a thank you to Professor Newton, both for the hot chocolate, and for the compliments. She picked up the mug, careful not to spill any and took a long sip. A chocolate-y milk mustache remained behind when she set the mug down again. "Thank you. I had a lot of fun playing the Mad Hatter."

Hadley's eyes lit up as Newton proudly told her about his granddaughter walking. "She did? That's great!" She took another sip of her hot chocolate, and this time wiped away the mustache. "Oh they're great. Both my parents have started dating again, so it looks like they've moving on from the divorce well enough. I just got back home from visiting my Dad in California with Natalie and a couple of our friends. Mark, my older brother," had she told him about Mark? She knew she'd told him about her twin sister Natalie. He'd even met her after the play, but she wasn't sure if she mentioned her older brother before. "He spent the summer backpacking across Europe before university started."

Hadley watched as Professor Newton retrieved her file, sipping the hot chocolate as she did. "Honestly, I hadn't given it much thought yet." She fell quiet, thinking it over. "I think I'd like to try harder potions, ones that really challenge me?" Well, technically intermediate potions still challenged her, but still. "I know it might be a bit too advanced too soon, but it might be good to have try and problem solve some potions outside my current comfort zone. If you think that's a good idea I mean." Hads smiled quietly when Professor Newton said she was smart, and sipped her hot chocolate.
