Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB

Something Anastasia had not considered in coming to this event was the possibility of running into former students.... and this one, this young man who was introducing himself as a Lord was certainly a student who had been here during her tenure as Herbology professor.

At least he didn't add Ambassador's son or try to use it to pick up women like Ivan did. Speaking of Ivan.... He looked around and spotted his cousin dancing with his new wife and smiled. He had a bet for how long that would last and hopefully he would win or else it wouldn't be fun at all!

He grabbed a donation form and took out his check book. "What would you say the average donation should be?" He asked her not looking at her. He knew how much he was going to put but was curious.
She cleared her throat. "I agree, Miles." No she was NOT going to address him as a Lord. There were no royals in the Wizarding World, and plus, the fancy title only reminded her of one gassy "lord" who had nearly ruined her first stint at Hogwarts. Hmmph!

"Headmistress Anastasia Truebridge," she finished her sentence with a polite but firm shaking of his hand. Oh, he was really going to donate now, was he? But a Lord should know never to ask the appropriate amount... Annie nearly clucked at the man. "Whatever you feel comfortable donating is what I'm SURE the school would be grateful to have. Don't drain your Gringotts vault on our account." She laughed, because obviously that would be impossible for someone with such a fancy title, amirite?!

The redhead politely looked away while the Lord finished his donation paper, and to her surprise she appeared to be accidentally looking in a mirror. !!!!!! What! What was this sorcery, this woman wearing the same blazer and jeans she had just worn last summer. Anastasia touched her hair as if making sure it was still there.

"You have great taste in fashion, dear," she moved around the donation box to casually mention this to the woman. Oh, and was that her husband, whispering in her ear? He looked familiar for some reason as well. Reminded her of Gaellen Tate, actually. Weiiiiiiiiiiird. She was officially weiiiiiiirded out by these two and moved down the line to the next couple there.

Oh! She knew this face too. "Kayla Winters, Hufflepuff Prefect," she said crisply, almost as if reciting a roster. Yes, this girl --- well, woman --- had been a student back when she had taught Herbology. "Trying to decide whether or not to donate?" The Headmistress' eyes flicked to the man with her, but she didn't recognize him as quickly. "When doubt, just say yes," she joked but without even a trace of a smile.

In all seriousness, really.... yes, they should donate. Wizarding university was even better than Hogwarts' education, especially at the University of Cairo.
