"I imagine the quiet will be good. I think though, or I imagine, it may drive you crazy on those days Theo has to work late." He immediately regretted the statment and hoped she wasn't offended.

He grinned as she described Theo's activities. He noticed that she hadn't mentioned any friends for Nia. "Nia hasn't made any friends yet?" He sipped his own coffee and enjoyed the wonderful taste.

He was happy to see the color come to her cheeks, and surprised as she put food in his mouth. He tried to speak, but it was difficult with food in it and her closeness to him. Her hand against his chin caused the skin under it to flush. He could only nod and give a muffled "Yeff."

Alina nodded. "It'll take a fair bit of getting used to, though as for me being at home alone with Theo working late, I'm not so sure." She gave a pointed glance down at her desk covered in paperwork. "Until the convention is over, I'll think that'll be me. Especially since Theo has just moved my hardest working employee over to head the Gobstones division..." She shrugged. "At least I won't be struggling to find stuff to do whilst there's no kids to look after!" She smiled, before taking a sip of her coffee and perching on one edge of her desk.

Gesturing for Edward to take a seat on one of her chairs, that was made comfortable with a patchwork cushion, Alina contemplated his next question. "A couple," she said, giving a small chuckle. "A seventh year and a fifth year, so whether they actually have time for her at Hogwarts, I don't know." She looked thoughtful for a few moments. "Oh, and a fellow first year called Elan. Though Theo insists he met him first, so I hope they don't start fighting over the poor boy." She raised her eyebrows, as she watched the twins fighting in the photo frames. "I think she quite likes him, though I'm sure she wouldn't directly admit it if he's also friends with her brother. Let's hope they're not all put in the same house."

Alina couldn't help but laugh at his muffled reply, and her eyes twinkled. His nod even brought a slight flush of colour to her cheeks. "More?" she asked, as she waited from him to swallow the first mouthful.
