Ancient Runes Office.

Calista smiled half-heartedly.
"Have you met my father? The only thing that can erase hate from his heart also involves erasing most of his memories. Even if Reginald called the feud off, my father and the other old geysers would never accept it."

Kiara shook her head "I have not met many members of your family, and Darien and Ana Vaight, now you. Only recieved letter from Reginald Vaight on matters of me beging Headmistress. That is it"

Calista smiled slightly. "You are fortunate. Compared to my father, Reginald is the patron saint of compromise."

"Oh?"Kiara said. It would be long before some in the press finds out someone has opened Calista's case and defending her? of course her identity would not be revealed and anyone in the court had to take a wizards oath not to reveal who she was.

"How so?"

Calista grimaced.
"Reginald is farily reasonable...or he at least seems to be. He's diplomatic at least. Horatio is...stubborn. And very undiplomatic. And he thinks that he and the other elders are Merlin. He is set in his ways, he will never change."

"I see...." was all Kiara said when a owl flew in and dropped a Prophet on the desk.

"Ah the press found out..."
Kiara thought to her self. it was the announcement to Calista's case being opened again.

Calista frowned. "What in..."
She looked at Kiara. "Did...you have something to do with this?"

Kiara surprisingly kept a remarkably clueless face. Armando already suspected her of something, she didn't need Calista to.

"No not a thing.." she said... "Cursed prophet you have terrible timing" she thought to herself.

Calista was confused. "Then who is appealing my case?" She felt a jolt of fear. "Please don't say Armando's done something sweet but stupid!"

Kiara shook her head "No he wouldn't, he knows he can't without revealing him self, and give away both your identities.... Perhaps a member of your family, anyone who may be on your side? your brother perhaps?"

Raoul...
"No..." Calista was torn between gratitude and worry.
"He...Father would kill him. Oh merlin, I hope he hasn't."

Kiara sighed not wanting to cause her worry said "Or it could be someone wanting to know the truth. I myself did several of those cases. Where someone was convicted of a crime with no real proof against them. It could be anyone Calista,most likely a new auror looking for a case experience. try not to worry about it huh. It won't do you any good"

Calista was slightly relieved, and pushed the thought of Raoul risking his future out of her mind.
She had to be happy, and stay in a good mood. And not think about the case, if possible.
"Alright." She smiled. "Otherwise Armando might drag me along to bother Juria again."

Kiara smiled, but internally sighed with relief.

"Just don't give him reason to and you'll be fine, although when you get further along you may need to give Juria regular visits. I advise you to go to them or Juria will make a house call on you, and be none to happy you avoid her" she said

Calista laughed. "Will do."
She rolled her eyes. "Although I am not looking forwards to being asked 'are you pregnant' by students..."

Kiara laughed "Oh that will only be in the beginning, backaches from hell, and kids wanting to stare and touch your stomach.... oh yes very fun pregnancy is, and don't say I didn't warn you before hand"

"Hm...Good thing I have a wand and a smidge of patience then." Calista laughed.
"And I hope that most of the kids in this school have a mental age of over five and don't want to poke my stomach. And if they do, they shall end up in the lake."
She smiled impishly. "Don't say I didn't warn you, or them, in advance."

Kiara chuckled "I will be sure to remember that, if i fine a soaking wet kid in my office I can guess what happened" she said with a laugh.

Calista held up her hands.
"Well, they can't say it was unprovoked...Maybe I should make a point of enlightening my class to that consequence...when they guess I'm pregnant."
She smirked slightly. "Maybe I should forewarn the giant squid as well. Beware, annoying students may be flung into the middle of your lake, sorry."

Kiara laughed "Oh he will love that, and don't forget those bothersome mer-people"

With a sigh Kiara said "So anything on your mind?"

"Other than planning revenge on potential annoyances?" Calista laughed.
"Not much. The usual I guess. Ancient runes, planning next lessons, oh and wondering about the wedding."
She paused.
"Has Armando spoken to you about it at all?"

"Spoken to me about what?" Kiara asked with a laugh. "There are a great many thing going on around Hogwarts Calista, you may need to be more specific."

Calista laughed. "The wedding."

"Ah yes of course, he mentioned having it Hogwarts, I of course said yes. Provided you want it here to" Kiara said with a smile.

"Of course." Calista smiled. "But...we'll have to use fake surnames won't we?"
