"Not great, but better. I would love a cuppa, though. If it isn't too much trouble." Truth and all. She still felt kind of horrible some days, but whatever. She would be getting over it soon. Hopefully.

Smoothing the parchment out she sighed down at it. "Professor, I just came to tell you thank you. For everything. Okay? You have been so understanding and I am thankful."
Art gave his student a small smile when she said she was better. Not great, though, but Art knew she would only get better from here. "No trouble at all," he said, and got himself up to pour her a cup of his new Gryffindor tea [Rooibos, vanilla, cocoa flakes and raspberry bits], as well as one for himself. He put it in front of her and sat back down in his chair.

He hadn't quite been expecting what came out of Miss Umbridge's mouth but he was touched. He smiled warmly and bowed his head for a few seconds. "O-oh n-no, it was what I wanted to do. Help, and m-make sure that-that you uhh... well, that you could jump back in when you were ready. And I'm very glad to see you back up and about. But.. well, of course you're welcome. How are you settling back in?" It had been, of course, his duty to ensure Miss Umbridge was well, and keeping up with studies as well as she could, but he didn't feel like it was him doing a duty. He did it because he cared deeply about all of his students, Miss Umbridge being no exception. He cared for her, and was delighted to see her back on her feet. "Y-you know, of course, I hope that-that you can come to me for any help. I, myself, have been through the Hogwarts curriculum of fourth year," he said with a little chuckle.

"I do Sir, I get to watch it some morning during my run." Or jog. If it were to early she might miss it but most days when timed just right it was doable. Oh! She didn't know he liked to sit out there, maybe one morning she would see him and they could watch it together.

"It's a long process mainly because certain steps have to be done at an exact time and if anything is off even the slightest it has to be started over." The mandrake leaf was horrible and yet so was keeping the vial hidden away and keeping track of electrical storms and everything else. Long and tiresome it all was but in the end it had paid off. "I'm glad about. I'm not sure I would've been able to go through with it had I been completely on my own." This she was fully serious about. Frankie had been there for her each step of the way as she had been for him.

The look on Art's face, the way he couldn't contain his excitement reminded Hady of her baby siblings. It was honestly wonderful and she gave him a bright smile in return. And since he was so happy to see the change Hady didn't want to wait any longer. Glancing around the office to make sure nothing was close enough to be knocked over she took a few steps backwards.

Taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly she cleared her mind of everything but her animal form. Once the animal was set clear in her mind she began to change right there before him, she shrunk in size, fur growing all over her. Soon enough standing right there before him was Hady in the form of a red panda.
"A morning run? Oh, it really is the perfect time for some exercise. I just go for a leasurely walk down to the lake and back, but it's enough for these old knees I think," he said in a light tone.

"Great Scott... d-did the process go to planned for you? I hope you didn't have to start anything over..." That would have been awful, and very frustrating indeed. Art nodded knowingly, and gave a very warm smile. The young love, the support, the connections. "I'm very glad you and Mr Paton had each other."

Art watched very intently as Miss Lynch stepped back and transformed into the red panda. He was VERY mindful of the fact it was one of his students, and wasn't about to pick it up or cuddle it. But he bent his knees to be closer to the Panda!Miss Lynch's height. His knees cracked slightly, but he made it. "Marvellous," he said. "Simply marvellous." He looked proudly at the panda, knowing that he had just seen something amazing. A student transforming into an animal, but also he realised how very proud Miss Lynch would be with herself, for becoming an animagi. Art, too, was overcome with this feeling himself. These moments truly were the highlight of teaching. Seeing people reach their goals. He smiled and gave a careful and silent clap, not quite sure what the hearing of the red panda was. He didn't want to burst Miss Lynch's animal form's ear drums.
