She approached her chair and started with the first question about the name plate. "Well, I've made two conclusions about that name plate, Sabrina. One, they want me dead - but luckily don't my name well enough - so I consider myself safe, or two, they're making a very cruel joke about my past." She left it at that.

Lainey hadn't been prodded by any torches or pitchforks, so she was a little more at ease with the mob. She fell into her chair and then nearly dumped herself in the floor. Needless to say, she hadn't gotten a high quality chair. So, she sat very, very still once she got sat upright, her elbows up and her fist white from gripping the rails.

She made it look like she meant to do it, of course. "Frequently," Lainey answered Anna. "This office dazzles me every time I enter. Why, I could dazzle the garbage bin with barf right now I'm so enchanted with the decor."

"I see," Anna said, taking a long look around the office. "Burgundy isn't...that bad, is it, Professor? I mean - (Anna paused, running her hand through her hair for added effect) - it's kind of close to...scarlet, you know." Suddenly, Anna felt like the lone lion in a field full of birds. Scratch that. The professor was a former Ravenclaw - Anna was the lone lion in a field full of birds.

"Soooo," Anna said, mumbling for no apparent reason. Her mind flashed to the plaque she'd just seen, complete with a "R.I.P" message to Professor Lainey. Why, oh why, oh why did her father have to get hired at the ministry - in Cooper's office at that - only weeks before the term started? Anna felt like some kind of target was on her back saying, "Hello! I'm a Gryffindor prefect whose Slytherin father works in the Minister's Office!" She took a deep sigh, content with the fact that she knew - just knew - her father wasn't in the midst of all this mess.

Anna started slowly edging out the office, step by step. She'd just gracefully back out, and in the mob, no one would notice.
