Office Hours, March 31

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe had been tempted to show up for work on Monday and pretend nothing had happened last week, but then she'd realized that if there was ever a time to take a few days to do little more than stay at home and make love to her wonderful husband who didn't do disgustingly romantic things to her, that time was now.

So, Zoe was looking very refreshed when she finally came back in. If no one mentioned scientists or the egregious insult of being assumed to be Umbridge, she might even stay that way.

[Door and post are open! I should be on around noon!]

"I was wondering about that," she admitted. "It won't be a problem this late?"

"Not at all. We usually assume everyone's staying unless they tell us otherwise," Zoe explained. "You'd be in very good company."

"Does the same go for the Fall?" Not that Dru was really thinking that far ahead, but it was another option to keep in mind. "Technically I've still got a year till I'm legal. I could go to my Gran's cabin. It's mine now. But I'm not sure how safe it is."

"If there's no one to suggest a different school for you, then I suppose the decision is yours," Zoe said. "You'd be welcome to stay and finish your education, if you want to."

"There might be another option. But it's complicated at the moment," Dru admitted. She hadn't heard from Christophe, and she still wasn't certain about the Schola. "For now, I think I'll stay here."

"Good. I'm very glad to hear that," Zoe said with a smile. "If there's anything you need, even if it's just someone to talk to about things, you can come to me, or any of your teachers, really. Just know you don't have to deal with things on your own."

"I think my boss would get it if I talked to him," she replied. "I've just got to work it out in my own head right now."

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe nodded. "Take your time. I'll still be here once you've got it all worked out, all right?"

Dru nodded. "Thank you ma'am. I appreciate it. I'll get out of your hair now. Thanks for your time."
