"How have you been?" She inquired.
"Things have been great," she said. "It's wonderful to see you. I've been meaning to pop up to the castle for a visit," she said softly. She should have made it a priority. But at least Angie was here now. "How are you?"

I thought you might be able to help figure out exactly what it is. You have the experience no doubt, working with magical birds." And the compassion to deal with Leroy in his hour of need.
Iliana listened as David explained the bird's recent temperament change. "Oh poor baby," she said. "Have those kids been bothering you?" she asked, moving back over to the cage. She watched the fwooper for awhile, but noticed nothing at all out of the ordinary. "So he's fine around adults, huh?" she asked, still keeping her eyes on the bird.
Catching movement from the corner of her eye, she looked over and saw that Puppy was finally all finished eating. She scooped the dog back into her arms and then she turned towards Kapoor and said, "Nothing appears to be physically wrong with him. I do have something you can give him for nerves. That should help." It worked wonders for Vincent during the move to Hogwarts. At least it was worth a shot.

Pottering around the kitchen, he hummed a tune as he got everything organised. He placed the cups, sugar bowl and jug of cream onto a tray and then poured the coffee into the cups. He even found some biscuits in the cupboard and placed them onto a plate as well.
Carrying the tray back into the small living room, Marcus couldn't help but grin. He was becoming so domesticated, all he needed now was a frilly apron. "Here we go ladies and gent." He laughed as he placed the tray onto the coffee table.
When Marcus returned with the coffee she was sure that everyone in the room knew what she was thinking simply from the smile upon her face, though she didn't try to hide it. Her eyes always lit up whenever he was near. "Thanks Marcus," she said quietly.
Just then, she heard someone at the door. "Excuse me a moment please," she said.

He was still really pale and a bit shaky, but he felt like he should explain his abscence. A few beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
He hoped he didn't interrupt anything. He made sure his sunglasses were secure. And knocked on the door...
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
Walking the few steps to the door, Iliana couldn't help but wonder if yet another of her colleagues had decided to come a visit. Five would just about make it an impromptu party.
Upon opening the door, she smiled down at the young Gryffindor standing on the other side. "Good morning!" she greeted him, giving Puppy's ears a good scratch.
