Ana glanced up as the door opened, offering a small smile in greeting as the Gryffindor entered. “Morning,” she replied lightly, organizing the files in front of her so she could see the cover page for each of the students at the same time; for all she knew, it would come in handy. Recently she had been required to hold a meeting for a werewolf and a vampire, and nearly wanted to head back to the Ministry and throttle whoever had put them together. Whoever had failed to check on that. Better to be prepared, she decided.
Just as Ana was about to say they could give his match a few minutes, as the meeting wasn’t quite due to start, the door opened again and the girl walked in. The Ministry employee’s mouth opened to return the greeting when Olivia turned to the Gryffindor and seemed overly pleased with the turn of events.
A small frown fell over Ana’s features as she watched their greeting. It wasn’t that she wasn’t slightly glad that they had been matched together and were happy with it; no, indeed. It was more that their display was rather disgusting to one without any sort of relationship for herself. Sure, she had Pavel but at the same time, there was no use in pretending that the marriage was something it couldn’t be. Trying to push the frustration from her mind, Ana simply waited for the students to get situated before leveling them with a rather exasperated look.
“If you’re ready I’ll start going over the next few weeks and what to expect.” She waited for them to nod or reply in the affirmative before continuing and forcing out the tired and over-given speech. “The next two weeks were meant to be the time in which you would get to know each other; you clearly already have gotten to that point, though. So, by the end of thirty days you will need to have officiated your marriage and filed it with the Ministry. Other than that, the ceremony and how you do it is entirely up to you. Today all we need to do is answer your questions and I’ll perform a fertility test on each of you. If you’d like, I can tell you the gender of your first child while doing Mr. Diamond’s test. If not, that’s fine, too. You’ll have three years, as stated in the law, to have the child.”
Looking between the two, Ana relaxed into her chair and added, “Any questions?”
