"Let me worry about Jacob Rider." she spoke up, still very deffensive. "I shall have no problems on letting him know where this information came from. I trust his judgement clearly more than you do." No, Lucy had no intentions of being rude, but this woman annoyed her deeply!

"With all due respect, Ms. Amerie, we already handled these situations before your arrival. I have absolutely no problem on requesting a meeting with Minister Reagan Taylor nor with Headmaster Bettencourt. I'll do it, if that needs to be done." Lucy played her cards on the table.
"Proposal? What are we talking about here? This is not politics, Ms. Amerie." she aksed, raising her eyebrows. "I'm starting to believe this was a huge mistake. I should have gone to Minister Taylor herself first and take Jacob Rider." she said, her icy blue eyes studying Gretta.

"You say you are on my side. That's a huge difference... Gretta." she paused, feeling confident. yes, there was something there... "Why do I have the feeling you know more you want me to think?" now, this was no longer about Hogwarts.
