Madeline watched the two House members who continued to speak to Calhoun even after they stepped out from the room and it looked like it was a serious discussion. Weasley was the one who was speaking the most while Calhoun occasionally replied. In no time, Theodore joined them and Lucy as if on cue took her leave from the corridor by excusing herself.
The High house members bowed at the King and started to leave, walking in the direction where Madeline had been standing. Weasley was speaking something to Reginald, busy in the discussion when the silver-haired man's eyes met hers, and she noticed a faint smile on his lips. He offered her a bow, and she did the same. For a priest, he looked too pleasant thought Madeline to herself.
Her eyes continued to trail at the two people until she felt a finger below her chin that turned her head to see Calhoun standing in front of her, "Were you waiting for me?" his eyes looked deep into her brown eyes.
