"And I suppose you'd see to that personally, Miss Devlin?" Came the voice of Librarian Mercer, who had taken it upon herself to stand in the path of Emilie's exit.

She came to investigate upon hearing the noise of what she now knew to be a chair, and a student, falling. Had it been two other students, she would have thought it a simple case of clumsiness. This was not, however, two innocent students. They both were anything but innocent.

Harriet's eyes went from Emilie to Anastas and back, her arms crossed over her chest and her wand clearly visible within her hand. "Would either of you care to explain why on earth one of my chairs is now broken?"

"I had an argument with gravity Miss Mercer," Anastas supplied quickly. "Gravity won."

He glanced quickly at Emilie, half tempted to throw her under the bus, but also tempted to see if he could win any brownie points if he took this one on the chin. "If you would be willing to show me a charm to repair it I would be most willing to fix the chair."

Since Anastas was the one to speak up first, Harriet's eyes went to him. While she was sure there had been something else going on, there was no proof and so could do little more.

After a moment, she looked to Emilie. "Go on, Miss Devlin. I just hope Mr. de Kooning doesn't lose another battle with gravity in your company again." It was a warning more than anything, showing her suspicion of the events.

That done, she turned her attention back to Anastas. It would only take a moment to show him a quick charm to put her chair back together, and then she could go back to work.
