That she was visiting by way of his Ministry-loaned time turner, the one he lost back when he was an Auror. The time turner he lost just before all time turners were smashed in the ministry during the historic invasion by Death Eaters.

He was certain of this.

Positive.

She looked identical to the women he had known so well. She behaved the same. She moved the same, with that slight swish in her walk that he remembered so well. She was a healer. Her mannerisms... the tilt of her head... Merlin, even her bloody name was the same!

No. He rejected this notion; it simply did not make sense (never mind that it totally, totally did). No.

"You're having me on. For a laugh. That isn't funny, Cari." Kazimeriz played what she had said in his mind, over and over again. An inconsistency appeared to him, and he grasped at it like a drowning man going for a rope. "You said... Dead. But you also said 'she' told you about me. Far be it from me than to accuse a lady of an untruth, but Cari, which is it? Dead, or chatting with you over the break? Or perhaps neither, and you are merely toying with an old man...?" Kazimeriz stared at her, trying to grapple with the story she was laying out for him. It simply. couldn't. be.

Oh Morgana's pink petticoats!!

Caroline spun on her heal and made a strangled noise. "I KNOW IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!" she yelled.

It had been NOT funny for months now as she tried desperately to figure out if the man was senile. Or just messing with her in some kind of new healer/ new staff hazing ritual.

There was obviously sooo much more to the story than what she had gotten out of her great-grandmother, but she clammed up tight after a furious diatribe to the effect of Valon Kazimeriz was a friend hers once, they were a year apart in school and she had treated him for his initial hip injury. And she knew that her great grandmother utterly refused to visit the school and prove Caroline Kinney and Caroline Avalon weren't one in the same.

She plunged her hand into her satchel and yanked out a long scroll of parchment. "She's both, Professor, as a wizard you know it's possible. As for being dead, and not me, Grandmamma died when I was seven years old. This is my family tree. My birthdate is near the bottom. And in the middle?" she pointed, "there is Caroline Kinney where she married into the family in 1984. Date of birth February 2nd, 1966. Date of death November 1st, 2050. She's been a ghost ever since. Check with the Spirit Division if you don't believe me."
