He was so relieved that Karma, who was familiar to him by now, was speaking to him again. He relaxed slightly. "Your father works for the Daily Prophet? Is he a reporter?"
Karma noticed his nervousness around the new girl, and hid her smirk as best as she could. She could tell that he was NOT a ladies man, but that he would be a very good friend to her. The sea of relief washed over his face when he turned back to Karma. That poor kid. He was good looking, so naturally he would attract attention.
"Yes, he does do reporting every now and then. He's kind of like, an investigative reporter. And it's so neat at times. He comes home and tells us stories about what he had to do to get the story right this time, and who did what, and everything else." Quote:

She leaned forward in order to get a better look at what was happening up at the Staff Table and part of her body disappeared into the table.
Karma turned suddenly when the Grey Lady sat down near her. Walking through one was bad, but even now she could feel the cold air coming off of the ghost, and she shifted slightly in her seat.
"The Bloody Baron always struck me as rude when I read about him. But, if you don't mind me asking, Miss Grey Lady, why did you come back? Not that you're not welcome, of course."
