Ana's eyes narrowed at the grumpy Slytherin standing before her, allowing his sharp tongue to run off with him. “I'm afraid, Mr. Poliakoff,” She began, words short and frustrated, “that you've no choice in the matter.”
Moving from the doorway, she allowed the Slytherin and the Hufflepuff to enter, waving a hand at their chairs as she stood behind her desk. Ana leaned forward over the wooden top of the desk, hands pushing against it to give her a rather superior stance – one she had manufactured and practiced until she was sure it caused nervousness in the party she faced.
Her eyes flicked to the Hufflepuff, a Miss Dyllan, who seemed quite different than the other Dyllan Ana had had the misfortune to be involved with in a meeting. The girl was oddly quiet, though the Slytherin wasn't overly vocal, either. Just the one snappish comment which Ana hoped he realized wasn't acceptable.
“I've brought you both here to talk about your options, your future, and the timeline you'll have to work your way through the steps we require you to fulfill. Then we will,” She shot a serious look at Kaiden, “conduct the tests.”
She sank slowly into her seat before starting to explain. “You'll have two weeks with which to get to know your partner, before another meeting where we will assist you, should you need it, in choosing a date for your wedding. You will have two weeks after that meeting to marry before a follow-up meeting. So, essentially, you'll have four weeks to get things together and get to know each other.” Ana's gaze moved from one student to the other as she spoke, trying to gauge their reactions as she did. “There is a new section of the castle made available to students, which will be specifically for the couples made through the matching system. Have you any questions?”
