After coming back from her vacation in the Bahamas which was her favorite place like ever...she knew she had to go back to the work grind. Though she didn't want to, she thought might as well do a morning jog to lift up her spirits. He was dressed in her running gear and was taking swift jogs around the park. She never realized how big and gorgeous the park was. People really had to take in the scenery more. She found this huge bench and took a little break and sat down to admire the view. She wasn't out of shape, well maybe she was...but no one noticed!

She finally rented her own flat. Granted it was thanks to Mum and Dad, but she was going to pay for half the rent so it made her feel pretty much like a proper adult. Things were still packed, though, and that made the small dark haired witch feel stressed.

Sakura Moore did not deal well under stress.

So she decided to go for a bit of a jog and stretch. Or was it stretch then job? She would stretch twice. Before running to warm up and then after to cool down. Good plan!

That's exactly what she was doing when a woman approached the bench she was using to stretch her hamstrings. The woman seemed to have had her laps already, so the curious young witch asked, "Is the park really giant?" Like...would she live at the end of a lap?

Jasmine was really into her thoughts and she didn't even realize someone was standing there right beside her. She jumped a little bit but hid it by answering her question. "Oh it is kind of big actually.." she was not gonna lie. "I mean I ran one lap and I was already sweating.." She hoped it didn't show. One thing that grossed her out was her own body sweat. She patted down the bench so she could sit. "We could run together, I mean I know some of the pathways.." she pointed to some little indents that led to trails. "What's your name?" she asked. She seemed like she wasn't from around here.

Sakura studied the woman and did not understand how she could already be sweating. She looked to be in great shape in comparison to her noodle arms and legs. "I feel like I will get tired," she admitted in a mumble. She could just tell by looking around at the large piece of land.

But she was being invited on a run!

Sakura nodded her head and smiled. "I would like to run with you." That way she'd have someone to hold her accountable for finishing at least one lap. "I am Sakura, you are?"

Jasmine waved off her concern and rolled her eyes, "You will be fine plus I will be here to help you if things do happen.." I mean the worst thing that could happen is she would collapse from the heat. Anywhoo back into position, she got up from her seat and began to jog in place. She encouraged Sakura to stand up and then began to run with her, "Oh I am Jasmine. Nice to meet yah Sakura. Are you working in the Ministry of Magic perchance?" She was naturally curious because that seemed to be the only place to work around here.

She never really took in the view of this park. It was beautiful, she looked just admiring the scenery. She was keeping the pace slow for Sakura just being courteous. "What sports have you done?" she seemed athletic to her observation. She saw her long lanky legs and arms. She seemed to be a runner.

Edward walked toward a bench near the pond. He was a bit fidgety, playing with his watch fob. He didn't know why he wore a pocket watch. It seemed like a nice accessory, but when he began to play with it, it became more of a nuisance. It was an indicator that he needed to be soothed and why would he need to be soothed? This should be a lovely day, with a perfectly normal conversation that two adults who seemed to be inclined to one another should have and he wasn't terribly concerned that the outcome of his query would be negative. For all of that, he still felt nervous and played with the watch fob as he took a seat.

He looked out over the pond and watched as the bugs flitted too and fro over the surface of the water. And then he waited.

He looked out over the pond and watched as the bugs flitted too and fro over the surface of the water. And then he waited.

As she hurried down the path, dragon hide heels clacking as she walked, she wanted to scream. Krel was running late and the thing she hated the most in the world was being late to things. It made her crazy and an embarrassed. Why today, of all days, did the German Ambassador need the contracts regarding cauldron densities? And why did her assistant not have them filed properly? It should not have taken 3 hours for her to receive the paperwork on cauldrons!

For that matter, why had Edward insist they meet exactly at noon? He hadn’t been in the best of moods the last couple times she’d been able to see him, and she doubted her running late would help his mood. She just hoped he wouldn’t be in such a sour mood today.

She her hair was half-falling out of a hastily pleated braid. She turned a corner on the path that led to the lake and then stopped, trying to catch her breath and make sure she didn’t look as haggard as she felt. Last night had been a rough one with dad. It hadn’t helped that Uncle Ian had showed up out of the blue after 15 years to say hello. Apparently he hadn’t gotten the memo that Adian was the fritz. It’d taken her roughly 30 minutes to get her father to stop yelling at the other male. Whatever their past history had been, Krel was obviously oblivious to it. Maybe Uncle Hayden or Aunt Gabbie would be able to shed some light on it, she thought

She tried to push the memory of the two older men yelling at each other out of her mind as she came upon the pond. It didn’t take her long to locate Edward. He was busy pacing and fidgeting. Oh no, she thought fearing the worst. He’s crabby again. Maybe she should have sent a note to post-pone their lunch date.

But it was too late now! Sucking in a breath, she put on a smile as she walked up to him. “Hi,” she said trying her best to sound chipper and not worn out or tired. “Sorry I’m late. There was a problem with an international cauldron shipment. Apparently it’s the end of the world peace as we know it.” Yep, that was a lame international relations joke…

Edward glanced at the duck that was slowing it's descent to land as gracefully as possible on the surface of the pond. He pondered whether to disturb it with a pebble before returning to the conversation playing in his head. He knew what he wanted to say, but not how he wanted say it. The fob twisted between his thumb and forefinger for what must have been the hundredth time. He was so used to the mannerism it didn't even register in his mind as an involuntary movement. He felt a few beads of sweat on his forehead and reached into his pocket for the golden covered handkerchief and wiped his head. Returning the kerchief to his pocket he touched the fob again.

He was so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed the sound of her heels as she approached the bench. It quite startled him actually and the sound of her apology caused him to fall backwards onto the bench. Catching himself before crashing into it, he finished the maneuver and settled himself down to the seat and looked up at her. She was beautiful (as always), though he could tell her morning had been quite hectic. He'd thought about postponing the meeting, but he didn't know if he'd have the nerve to replay this conversation in his head again.

He nodded at her words and gave a wan smile as she explained she'd once again saved the wizarding world from a geographic crisis and remembered the joke she used when she too was a bit frazzled.

He patted the bench next to him to indicate he'd like her to sit next to him. Replacing the fob in his waistcoat's button hole, he spoke. "Krel, I have something I want to talk to you about that's rather important."

“Everything ok? “ she asked reaching out to grab for his arm to steady him, only he caught himself before she could reach him. She pulled her hands back and clasped them together in front of her.

He wanted to talk? She hesitated a moment, turning to look at the duck on the water before she sat down next to Edward. Stating you needed to talk about something wasn’t a good sign. Was he upset with her? Did she do something wrong? Worse, did he meet someone else? It would explain his bizarre behavior lately. She sat stiffly next to him, crossing her feet at the ankles.

Yep, she definitely wished she had postponed this meeting. She’d rather deal with a grumpy and half-crazed German screaming Emissary. “Is something wrong? Wait- I know what this is about." Krel sighed. "You're mad because I couldn't make the orientation with you at the ministry. Look I told you I was sorry, but Ebberkirk pulled me into that negotiation and I couldn't get away. I tried. I really did." Krel clasped her fingers together tightly in her lap. Sometimes her boss, Ebberkirk, became demanding and no amount of sweet talking, prior plans, or arguing with the man changed his mind. She still felt terrible for having to cancel on Edward last minute.

She still felt terrible for having to cancel on Edward last minute.


Edward nodded as she asked after him. "Yes. You startled me a bit. I was wandering my own mind and didn't notice you approach. I'm sorry. I've been a bit distracted as of late." He felt himself grabbing for the fob again and forced himself to stop. He felt like a child, unable to have an important conversation. It was quite embarrassing to him, actually.

He noticed when she sat that she was rigid. As if she'd rather not be here at the moment and then he tried to smile. It came out as a sort of smirk and probably not the most reassuring sign. As she began to speak about her thoughts he reached around her and pulled her close. "No, nothing is wrong." As she continued he nearly burst out in laughter. Apparently, his choice of words made her apprehensive. This was quite unlike Krel. She was normally so collected and it endeared her to him that she would be this nervous. It eased his nerves just a bit. "No, dear. I'm not mad about that. I was disappointed, but I understand the work you've got sometimes makes you unavailable." He knew this from experience as many plans they had made had been cancelled due to her work with capricious witches and wizards who felt that as representatives of other nations that their needs were more important than the lives of people who worked at the Ministry.

Edward inhaled and prepared to speak. "Krel. We've been spending a good bit of time together. I think it's safe to say we've spent as much time together as possible. I know I've been a bit unpleasant lately. I thought that project would produce more results and it's been frustrating and I feel that I've been not the best person toward you. I'm terribly sorry for that. I know you've got much going on as well and you deserve to be treated better." He reached down for her hand. "I think I need to be a better person toward you. I'm a bit frightened of what I'm to tell you and that was the reason I was distracted when you came up."

He turned to the basket he'd set down on the bench after he arrived and opened it to take out a bit of sparkling water and offered her one.

I'm a bit frightened of what I'm to tell you and that was the reason I was distracted when you came up."

He turned to the basket he'd set down on the bench after he arrived and opened it to take out a bit of sparkling water and offered her one.

His fidgetiness didn’t help Krel relax any. In fact it made her anxiety spike. That was until he put his arms around her and pulled her close. It took her a moment to realize he wasn’t mad at her, but once she did, she relaxed and leaned into him. “Oh, good…” she said softly. He wasn’t mad at her. She looked up at him while he spoke. His half smile took a bit away from his words as he explained to her that he understood that her work sometimes took too much of her time, but she tried to focus on what he was saying verses how he was saying it. Males, after all, communicated in a different way than females.

She shifted to have a better view of his face as he continued to talk. Her communications training had ingrained in her the importance of giving someone who was talking her full attention. Her lips pressed together a bit as he began talking about how much time they had been spending together lately. Was spending time together a bad thing? She still had a bit of difficulty reading Edward, even after all the years she’d known him. Then she realized he was apologizing for his moodiness. “Everyone gets moody sometimes,” she said simply with a light shrug of her shoulders. She was a firm believer that everyone should be able to express their emotions as they needed to, just so long as they weren’t using a person as an emotion punching bag, and she didn’t’ feel like Edward had been doing that. “Life appears to have not been very nice to either of us lately.” Last night with her father popped into her head and she suddenly felt very very tired.

She took the proffered water and twisted the cap off and thought about his last words. What could he possibly have to say that was frightening? Did he think she would jinx him or something? Was he moving to Antarctica? Did his ex-wife suddenly come back? A million thoughts raced through her head, but she couldn’t think of one that she was willing to voice aloud. So…she took a drink of the water she was holding and waited.

SPOILER!!: Fun stuff
His fidgetiness didn’t help Krel relax any. In fact it made her anxiety spike. That was until he put his arms around her and pulled her close. It took her a moment to realize he wasn’t mad at her, but once she did, she relaxed and leaned into him. “Oh, good…” she said softly. He wasn’t mad at her. She looked up at him while he spoke. His half smile took a bit away from his words as he explained to her that he understood that her work sometimes took too much of her time, but she tried to focus on what he was saying verses how he was saying it. Males, after all, communicated in a different way than females.

She shifted to have a better view of his face as he continued to talk. Her communications training had ingrained in her the importance of giving someone who was talking her full attention. Her lips pressed together a bit as he began talking about how much time they had been spending together lately. Was spending time together a bad thing? She still had a bit of difficulty reading Edward, even after all the years she’d known him. Then she realized he was apologizing for his moodiness. “Everyone gets moody sometimes,” she said simply with a light shrug of her shoulders. She was a firm believer that everyone should be able to express their emotions as they needed to, just so long as they weren’t using a person as an emotion punching bag, and she didn’t’ feel like Edward had been doing that. “Life appears to have not been very nice to either of us lately.” Last night with her father popped into her head and she suddenly felt very very tired.

She took the proffered water and twisted the cap off and thought about his last words. What could he possibly have to say that was frightening? Did he think she would jinx him or something? Was he moving to Antarctica? Did his ex-wife suddenly come back? A million thoughts raced through her head, but she couldn’t think of one that she was willing to voice aloud. So…she took a drink of the water she was holding and waited.


Edward felt Krel relax a little as he pulled her to him. He was grateful that he could help her feel that way and he certainly didn't want to add to her anxiety, though he was anxious himself. Why did he think this was the best way and manner in which to have this discussion. He gave her a quick peck on the forehead as she leaned on him. This was so much more challenging in person than it was in his head. He'd felt much more confident practicing the conversation than actually having it.

He noticed that she looked at him directly, which might make him feel uncomfortable if he didn't know her so well. It was endearing knowing she was giving him her attention. That was a valuable commodity, since she was so busy sometimes with all she had going on in her life. He nodded as she gently tried to comfort him for his recent lack of social graces. "Be that as it may, I shouldn't be directing my work related stress in unhealthy ways toward you." He hadn't tried in a long time to really allow himself to communicate his feelings and he was struggling a bit to do it now. He really wanted to tell her. "No, it doesn't seem to have been nice, has it." He took a sip of his water and smiled warmly at her. "Even with that, you are a shining ray of light in the challenging days we've faced. You make me happy, even if I haven't done a good job of helping you feel that way."

He thought about the thoughtful notes she'd occasionally send and how she knew to reach out to him and gently reassure him with a touch when he needed it. It was one of the many stellar qualities of this amazing woman. He set his drink down and reached into the pocket of his waistcoat for the slip of parchment he'd put there, to help him stay on track. He smiled up at her before slipping his gaze to his own handwriting and began to recite what he'd written.

Krel, We have been a good team since the day we met. You came into my life at a difficult time and we reconnected and you offered friendship. You never made me feel as if I was less than a wonderful person." He looked up quickly at her before reading some more. " I have treasured the time we've spent and I know that each moment is precious because one never knows when it will all end."

He reached back and grabbed the water and took another sip and returning it to the bench. He continued. "We haven't discussed this and I know it might seem odd, but I feel like there needs to be a formality to our relationship. You are much more than a friend to me. While I value your friendship, I'd like more. I don't know where the portkey will take us, but I'd like to travel wherever it leads with you."

He folded the parchment with shaking hands and returned it to his pocket, before looking up at her. He was breathing hard, from the emotional exertion and waited for her reaction. And in the brief pause, his mind conjured all manners of things that could go wrong at this moment.

Krel blinked.
Did he just… ?
She couldn’t help it. A nervous laugh overcame her and slipped out.
A hand shot to her mouth quickly as she tried to stifle it. She was horrified! She shouldn’t be laughing. She looked away from him afraid to see his reaction. “I’m…” giggle. “Sorry…”

She stood up and stepped away trying to regain her composure. She kept her back to him. Laughing when a man basically confessed his feelings was a terrible rotten thing to do. What was wrong with her?! Nothing, she tried to tell herself. She had been thinking he was moving away, or breaking up with her or – something else entirely! But it didn’t justify her laughing at the man. She shook her hands at her side and wiggled her head, trying to stop the giggling. You are a terrible person Krel Ansell! she told herself in castigation. He should break up with you!

Finally, after a moment, she turned around to face Edward. She was trying very hard not to smile (or laugh). “I’m sorry,” she finally stammered out. “I thought you were going to break up with me!”

She began laughing again, unable to stop herself.

As he waited for her to respond, he took another sip of water and as he looked to make sure he didn't spill that water, she started giggling? His jaw dropped as she stood and faced away from him and her shoulders were still shaking and still giggling. He watched dumbstruck as she shook her hands and wiggled her head. Was this funny? he wondered to himself. He felt a pit in his stomach forming and he wondered what the best way to get out of this situation was.

When she finally turned back to him, she saw the smile still on her face as if she would laugh straight at him. Then the words came. He exhaled and closed his eyes. Lifting his hands to his face to rub it, he tried to compose himself. Here he had just poured out his heart (granted, it was cheesy and kind of an odd way to say things) and she had laughed. He tried to listen and all he caught was I'm sorry and break up with me. And then she laughed again.

He wasn't quite sure how to react. So he just sat there as she laughed at him.

He wasn’t laughing.

Krel didn’t understand why he wasn’t laughing at her. His face looked like she’d just punched him in the gut and he had eaten something awful. “Oh Edward,” she exclaimed as she realized that she had hurt his feelings. “I’m sorry!” Her laughter hadn’t been at his expense, but mostly at her own misgivings.

She walked back over, placed a hand on both sides of his face, tilted his head up, and gave him a big kiss. “I didn’t mean to laugh,” she said when she had back her face away from him enough to look him in the eye. “It just came out. It wasn’t at you,” She sighed as she released his face. “Maybe I’m having a mental break down,” she said putting a hand to her forehead as if to feel her temperature. She sat down next to him again, leaning back in an exhausted manner. Her sudden burst of energy that came with the laughing died like a sugar rush in a three year old. She leaned her head on his shoulder and slipped her hand around his upper arm. Everything lately had been too much. Edward, Ebberkurk, Uncle Ian’s arrival, dad…

“I thought you were going to break up with me,” she repeated softly. “Not ask me to be your girlfriend.” At least that’s what she thought his speech had meant. It had sure felt like that was what he was asking.

Edward watched as the color drained from her face. Now he felt bad for making her anxious. He lowered his head a bit and then felt her delicate hands cupping the sides of his face and watched as she lowered her head to kiss him. He kissed back and relaxed some. Ok. I didn't completely kill any romantic vibes in this whole thing. As she looked at him and began to offer her explanation, he still felt some deflation that he hadn't done this well. She seemed to melt into him after saying she wasn't laughing at him, but he was still confused.

He shook his head as she said that she thought he was breaking up with her. He had planned this about as well as someone could with both of their schedules. Granted, a lunch date in the middle of a work day wasn't the best thing ever but he had thought it would be sweet. He used his free hand to sip at the water again and took a deep breath and let it out.

"Krel, I don't know what to say. What would give you the idea that I was planning on breaking up with you. I didn't even know we were (using air quotes) officially (close air quotes) a couple. I know we've spent lots of time together and all, but I didn't want to assume anything which is why I thought I should tell you how I felt and now I feel a wee bit foolish for how I chose to do it. Perhaps I should have written it on a parchment and sent it as a departmental memo to you?" This may not have been his best response ever, but he was speaking from a place of mild hurt.

He leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "I'm an idiot." and then laid his head against the top of hers, eyeing her lovely shoes. (she had pretty feet).

“Well,” she said a bit affronted by his tone. She didn’t hear his comment about being an idiot as she pulled away from him. “I know we’ve been seeing each other, maybe we haven’t been official, but it sure has felt like we’ve been courting.” There were dinners and dancing and plans and hugs and kisses. There had been good times and bad times, and lord knew Edward was the first person Krel always wanted to talk to when things went south or north! And if they hadn’t been dating, then why did she decline Jakob’s offer to go out for drinks after work the other day?!

“Just because we didn’t put a label on things, doesn’t mean you couldn’t break up with me. Who knows?” she stood up. “For all I knew, my busy schedule and family issues were overwhelming you. Merlin knows, they’re vexing me!”

“Furthermore,” she stated, unable to keep her voice even and collected. “You never started a conversation off by stating “We need to talk.” That’s like, like….” She tried to think of how muggles put it. “Like waving a red flag in front of a cow.”

He was surprised when she pulled away from him. He was even more surprised with the sudden sharpness in tone as she began to speak. He watched as she stood up and got a little more vehement as she spoke about the issues they faced with schedules and family and all that. He began to speak, but was cut short when she continued. He buried his face in his hands and shook it back and forth as he tried to formulate a response that would defuse the situation.

Edward stood to face her as he heard the last remark about waving a red flag in front of a cow. He tried to hide the smirk as he thought about the imagery she had just presented but was unsuccessful.

"Krel..." he began. "Let's take a moment and breathe. Look. We're in the middle of London together and we must look like a quarreling couple to passersby." Not that he cared one whit about what others thought. Here he was with the woman he loved and he was making a complete and utter mess of things. He had had grand ideas about how she would respond to his declaration, but apparently (according to her) he had started off wrong. He quickly replayed in his mind a couple of other scenarios about how this could have gone better, but none ended with her laughing and them fighting. What should he do now? Would she shrink from him if he reached for her? Would she be repulsed by him at this moment in time and he only make things worse? He landed on an idea.

"Ok, dear." He said in a measured tone. "Perhaps the conversation began poorly. I don't know why you would think I'd break up with you. You make me happier than I could ever imagine. You are the reason I get up and smile. you're the reason that my life is as good as it is. I hope I haven't given you reasons to think I was unhappy." He had been moody lately. He wished he'd learned to regulate himself better. Perhaps she would forgive him.

Now he found something funny? What had she said? She was about to say something else when he stood up. She crossed her arms defensively as he continued to talk to her and got the subtle impression he was talking to her as if he was afraid she’d throw something at his head. If she was truthful, the idea of throwing something at him right now sounded slightly appealing. Why Edward was able to get her so riled up, she didn’t know.

He continued with his careful tone as she continued to glare at him. Only as he continued to talk, she finally relented. She was just as much to blame for his miscommunication as he was. She uncrossed her arms. “This has just been a big mess hasn’t it?” All she had wanted to was to spend a few minutes with him so she could try and relax. Instead she let everything swell up and explode in a very un-Krel-like fashion.

She reached out for a hug as her stomach growled a little. She hadn’t had time for breakfast and they were supposed to be eating lunch right now. “Can we just start lunch over?”

Edward could tell his smirk had not been a good way to try and defuse things as she glared at him. As he spoke however, she seemed to be calming down. He was actually doing something she had taught him. The soothing tones she used to calm tense situations had astounded him and he had learned to be less reactive in difficult circumstances (for the most part).

After a bit, she reached for him and he pulled her close and he felt her stomach roil a bit. Then she asked if they could start lunch over. "Of course." He took her hand and led her back to the bench where the basket lay open with carefully chosen meats, vegetables and cheeses and baked goods for after. He set the basket between them and looking around to make sure no one was around, used his wand to light a candle that emitted a gentle scent of honeysuckle.

While he waited for her to make her plate (a small place setting he'd chosen of white china with a pomegranate border and black and red linen napkins, he spoke. "I asked you hear to ask you to be my boyfriend. I don't know that is was necessary. You're right. We may not have formalized it, but I don't think there's any denying we are in fact a couple. I couldn't imagine what would happen if you decided you wanted to leave. I'm here for you come what may."

Edward could tell his smirk had not been a good way to try and defuse things as she glared at him. As he spoke however, she seemed to be calming down. He was actually doing something she had taught him. The soothing tones she used to calm tense situations had astounded him and he had learned to be less reactive in difficult circumstances (for the most part).

After a bit, she reached for him and he pulled her close and he felt her stomach roil a bit. Then she asked if they could start lunch over. "Of course." He took her hand and led her back to the bench where the basket lay open with carefully chosen meats, vegetables and cheeses and baked goods for after. He set the basket between them and looking around to make sure no one was around, used his wand to light a candle that emitted a gentle scent of honeysuckle.

While he waited for her to make her plate (a small place setting he'd chosen of white china with a pomegranate border and black and red linen napkins, he spoke. "I asked you hear to ask you to be my boyfriend. I don't know that is was necessary. You're right. We may not have formalized it, but I don't think there's any denying we are in fact a couple. I couldn't imagine what would happen if you decided you wanted to leave. I'm here for you come what may."

“Well, now it’s official. So it will be much easier to introduce to you people.” And her father can stop asking her why that man was always around or owling her. Sometimes, Adian’s sickness make him think Krel was still at Hogwarts. She helped herself to some cheese, baguettes, and a few grapes before she allowed herself to relax. She briefly wondered how much longer she had for lunch, but also didn’t care at the same time.

“Are you finally done with your experiment?” she asked trying to change the topic; she just hoped she didn’t pick a still sore one.

He nodded as she said they were official. "I suppose that most everyone we know probably already assumed that." It was nice having Krel around. She did make him smile, even if he was grumpy. He felt like this was more of an adult relationship than his first marriage and he was committed to making it work. He grabbed a sausage and a small roll with some cheese and went to making a sandwich. He was enjoying the simple task of putting together his sandwich when she asked about his experiment.

"Well. I'm still compiling data. I thought it would be easier using Hogwarts students to study, but they don't necessarily turn in the questionnaires when he needed them and it was hard to analyze the results. He wondered if he structured the study poorly. The teachers hadn't been much better in tracking observations. He wondered if it would be easier to go and conduct some observation directly. Surely, there was some tool in the Department that would allow him to conduct remote observation, but there might be ethics issues studying students without parental consent. "It's been a challenge. I thought when I started this particular study that we would be able to track progress more precisely, but that hasn't been the case."

Krel had finished her plate while he talked (Yes, she was very hungry.) and she helped herself to a few slices of meat and cheese. It was sometimes hard to talk to him about his job. He was so secretive and well, despite knowing he couldn’t speak of it on pain of death and so on, it was hard sometimes to absorb. Furthermore, his work was soo different from her own. Sure she had to be secretive at times, but that was mostly because world peace and cauldron thicknesses deepened on it. She could at least tell Edward what she was doing, if not the why or intimate details. Edward couldn’t really expand on, well, anything. Furthermore, she had never been potionly inclined. She’d only managed to pass the required potion classes because she had a good friend who tutored her.

“Why do you think tracking the progress isn’t working?” she asked as she nibbled on a slice of salami. They’d’ had conversations like this before. She’d ask vague questions hoping it’d help him think things through. She was never really sure if it helped.

As she ate, he observed. Occupational hazard that he would watch. Other than that, he just liked to look at her. It helped calm him some and he didn't get nearly so frustrated this time.

He bit into his sandwich as he pondered how to answer her question. Swallowing and taking a sip of water he responded. "I think part of it is the nature of the study. I can't just pick and choose subjects. They have to meet certain qualifications that are extremely challenging to gauge when or if they will. Additionally, I don't think we've got the buy-in of the professors. Without their assistance it will continue to be challenging."

She was amazed that he was being as forthcoming with his work as he was. Usually he was even more evasive and allusive in explaining what happened in his department. She continued to eat while he talked, nodding where she could. "Sound frustrating," she stated when he was done. "How do you plan on getting the professor's help? Will they even help?"[/color]
