With Albert holding open one of the doors to the Great Hall Nastasia slipped out of the doorway and into the entrance hall to head back to the Slytherin commonroom, dinner would be over soon and it would be better to leave ahead of the noisy crowd in the Great Hall. Monday would be over soon and Tuesday would follow, but Nastasia still couldn't get over what happened this weekend while she was home. A visitor had come to the house for dinner, her father had been teasing her in owls for the last few weeks and this weekend the this visitor arrived. It was Archbald Worthington, a wonderful guest indeed her father knew how much she enjoyed his books and just his overall knowledge of all the subjects she so enjoyed and immersed herself in. She had been out riding though but was was found by Mr. Worthington in the stables, Nastasia was sure her father had directed him there even if her father had only just asked a houself about her whereabouts. Nastasia had been dressed in full riding gear and wasn't dressed for company yet but Mr. Worthington didn't seem to mind. He gave her a gift which was to be expected nothing but just dreadful chocolate more to use on the muggle children with whatever experiment she needed to conduct on them. It was an evening filled with good conversation as Nastasia never really enjoyed hardly any evening. "I have so much to tell you Albert, when we get our destination I will let you guess who came to dine with us this weekend...oh Albert you be so surprised."

Displaying his best manners Albert quickly walked ahead of Nastasia in the Great Hall and pulled open one of the doors to allow her to step through so they could head back to the commonroom ahead of everyone else and have some time to themselves. Albert was hoping instead that he might could persuade Nastasia to head to the ROR, since Nastasia had gotten back from the weekend she was very cheerful mood and Albert knew so because he had never seen cheerful very often..at least not this cheerful. Whoever this guest was they must have made a big impression on Nastasia because she hardly didn't like anyone. Albert though it best that he listen to her anyway but he knew if he wanted to keep her interest he was going to have attempt to charm Nastasia, he would work on but for now he would do what Nastasia expected of him. He held his arm out for Nastasia to take.

One step at a time with the help of his cane Archbald made his way into the entrance hall, his old bones weren't what they used to be and were hardly tolerating the cold these days. Though old as he maybe his eyes were still sharp as he took all around him with the up most seriousiness. It was as if Archbald were walking into old memories since he had arrived at the school, but he also hoped to make more newer memories as well that none would never forget for centuries. The seriousiness in Archbald's face wavered only slightly, it was the lovely young lady Nastasia he the pleasure of meeting this weekend at dinner. Archbald had knew her father Warren since he was a young little wizard, such a succesful man he had become it was a pity there were so few wizards like him left which had the right thinking about the way the wizarding world really should be. Warren had another daughter but she was married with child and what was more she was nothing to take notice of at all she had none of her father's striking features more like the mother she resembled, had it not been for her name no one would ever believe she was his child. Nastasia looked all glowing today, he knew very well for sometime now that Nastasia's goals of becoming a potions master for self and only for herself. His offer to assist Nastasia in her preparation for her newts next year there would be no stress , He would test her to on potions what he decided a student of her age should know but of course she knew more about potions than anyone her age which was evident as they talked at dinner. It had been a very long time since another much younger than himself had shared such interest and enthusasim about the subject as he did and it had been one of many things which first attracted to him to his dear departed wife. This young lady loved not what fortune could be made but the art, skill and undertaking of potion making, with his expertise, tutlage and reference she could go far as she liked.
A young man was with her which caused Archbald to frown slightly as he saw both in his view.
As Archbald moved closer to them the lovely young lady took notice of him and moved closer pulling the young man along with her.

Nastasia took Albert's arm when she noticed Mr. Worthington himself coming her way. Nastasia moved to meet him dragging Albert with her, at times she had to as he didn't seem to have sense to move his own two feet himself.
"Mr. Worthington, it's lovely to see you again" Nastasia greeted the older man politely with small smile. Such a man of high accomplishments deserved such a greeting from her besides her father.
Nastasia turned her attention to Albert who was pitfully trying to keep good posture as the man standing before them, this of course didn't for once make her positive expression on her face falter in the presence of her mentor.
