“You’re in the right place,” Ana told the blonde lightly, hardly concerned with the minute or two that had been lost. The other student had yet to arrive, anyway.
When the Hufflepuff arrived, Ana mentally noted that he was as polite as they were said to be; at least he had that going for him. She couldn’t say if the two would get along, yet, but they both seemed quiet enough that they could hope they wouldn’t fight.
Ana looked back and forth between the two students, massively confused. They didn’t appear to have met before, but both seemed fairly uncomfortable – not that she could truly blame them. Most of the students had acted that way, if they weren’t furious. At the same time, the awkwardness of everything was making even the Ministry employee uncomfortable.
“Right,” Ana began slowly, drawing the word out. After lifting an eyebrow at each student individually, she started again with a more normal speech pattern. “Introductions first. Elisabeth, this is Nathan Finch-Fletchley. Nathan, Elisabeth North.” She gave them a moment to exchange nods or whatever they chose to do before deciding to jump into the meeting since they had lost a bit of time. It wouldn’t do to go over their allotted hour.
“So, today we need to go over the plan for the next month or so, and I’ll need to administer a fertility test for both of you. Should you wish, I can tell you the gender of your first child at that time. If not, do tell me before I get started with that. For now, I’ll start with the timeline you’ll be given for the wedding. You’ll be given two weeks to get to know each other before you need to set the date for your ceremony. If you need a second meeting at that time, it can be arranged so you can have any last questions answered. Two weeks later – so, in a month – you’ll need to have your marriage officiated and reported to the Ministry. If you don’t want to have a big wedding and the like, you don’t have to. It just needs to be made official.”
Leaning back in her chair she looked between the two, trying to assess their reactions. “Any immediate questions?”
