Hermione wasn't sure how to react. "Sounds good, Ms. Black." After she agreed, Hermione found herself trying to justify that response. She told herself that it would do her well not to antagonize the older, powerful witch and that she could accomplish the interview as well. However, she knew that wasn't the whole truth.
"When and where should we plan to meet then?" Hermione asked her. "Should we meet here at my office?" Setting the meeting there, even if they left immediately, made Hermione feel better about who was answering to whom.
