I always thought she had it in her to be a really good professor someday, although I resent the governors telling me my business."
He glanced at Miranda as well. "I know the inclination may be to make this about us and what we're losing, but I hope you will continue as you always have. No... I'm sure you will. Continue to support the students above all other things."
"She was a good prefect." Ethan answered quietly. "I'm not sure if you recall." Not a particularly hands on prefect, or a particularly kind one, but she did her job.
Slowly Truebridge stood up. "There is more to this." There had to be. "Hecate was always ambitious even beyond the stereotype."
Another pause and Ethan sat down again. "Would you mind if I spoke to my... the Slytherin Prefects and Quidditch Captain, informing them of this development personally?"
