The woman was centuries old after all. "Thank Merlin. We don't need more time thieves. So what do you recall of her capture?" But as she asked the question, another memory came to mind. The Gryffindor Prefect that year. Gert. "Wait. Were you.... are you related to Gideon Gert?" She swallowed, wondering why it had taken her so long to put it together.

"Two firewhiskeys and some garlic bread to share then. I'll go place the order unless you wanted something else?" She gave the astronomy professor a questioning look as she rose from her seat.

Well she remembered that a few of her son’s friends and classmates had had to testify only for her to escape. However, before Celeste could answer, something had clicked with her colleague. Are you related to Gideon Gert? Had Marilyn known him in school? Was that the reason the mention of the witch had caused the reaction from her companion. The older woman wasn’t the greatest in pegging ages. The only reason she knew Escalante was the same age was because the two young men had been student leaders together.

“Aye…he’s my son,” she confirmed with a nod to the affirmative before shaking her head as Marilyn got up to take care of their order. “Nah…that’s perfect.” Drinks and a light nosh. And perhaps reminiscing now that the connection had been made. Sort of.
