[Cue an older Marta (whose body has only filled out a little, ffft), sans hairclips, looking a bit clueless. She doesn't understand how or why she's back here at Hogwarts, but... well, that isn't to say she isn't happy to be there.]

If I'd known I'd be stationed here, I'd have sent owls to anyone who was in the area. [A slight laugh as she looks

Hello Marta, looks like you're here too.

[swallow_waltz]

Oh, Alice. How are you?

[rosechienne]

Just peachy, not counting the war and all.

[swallow_waltz]

I guess the same can be said for everyone.

Still, it's nice to see you. I didn't think I'd be able to until Christmas.

[rosechienne]

Likewise Marta, likewise. How about you, hmm?

[swallow_waltz]

I'm doing alright. A little bogged down at work, but I guess that a mediwizard is at her busiest during a war.

[rosechienne]

That's the price ones gets. Oh well, at least you're doing some good.

[swallow_waltz]

Haha, I guess so. I like what I do, so that helps a lot.

[rosechienne]

I'm sure that our father would have been happy.

[swallow_waltz]

...

Yeah. I'd hope so, anyway.

How's work going for you?

[rosechienne]

Just the same as usual. Nothing but work, work, and more work. Alice is so tired of it!

[swallow_waltz]

Haha, well, that's life, I guess...

If you're ever in the area, feel free to drop by. You still have a key, even if I'm not home.

[rosechienne]

Marta...I hope do you realize your house is haunted.

[swallow_waltz]

... W-Well, yeah, there's a reason why I never invite Alfred over.

[rosechienne]

To think that Father was with you this whole time.

He was certainly scary enough.

[swallow_waltz]

He... doesn't bother me that much. Nothing aside from shaking the bed and leaving scratches.
