 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
The urge to raise an eyebrow at the drawn wand was resisted, though the observation hadn't gone unnoticed. A slight smirked played on her lips at the sight. Had someone been startled? Regina wasn't surprised. The woman standing before her could really focus on so much at a time. After all these years, the extend of her vigilance was still the same. Odds were her ability to see only part of a picture, instead of the whole, were consistent as well.
Nonetheless, she was still amazed by Melanie's talent at remaining cool and collected. Whether it was genuine or not, the woman couldn't really tell. Yet. "Thank you. The change in setting has done me well," the headmistress responded, leaving it at that. "It certainly has been a busy term. But no one has been jumping through portals or nearly being eaten by a monster from an alternate world. I definitely prefer this over last year." At the present time she just had to put up with a few ghosts from her past. It was tolerable.
Melanie's final comment was something else, however. Was that why she wanted to meet up with her? To show that she still was holding a grudge, even though it was she that failed to see the entire picture in that situation?
Regina didn't forget either. But she was going to be the bigger person here, as always. "And how have you been, Melanie? Enjoying your stay at Hogwarts?"
