Marietta gave him a disbelieving look. "Considering how you used to live your life? Of course I thought you'd quit." She was under no illusion that he had evolved into some humble being during his sabbatical from society life. She was never under an illusions when it came to Zacharias. "Yes well, didn't Hufflepuff say she'd take the ones that the others wouldn't?" While the Smiths might descend from Hufflepuff lineage, she had a feeling that Zacharias' placement had more to do with this than anything else.
Marietta hung her coat on the rack in the corner and turned to Zacharias when he asked about her new outlook on life, of all things. She had not expected him to ask nor did she plan to answer, but his interest was enjoyable all the same. She did not hide her amusement that he was now interested in this comment that was made back in the hallway. Marietta leaned against the exam table, smirking. "Love, if I told you that where would all the mystery be? But alright, I'll give you something - keep an eye on the headlines."
