Gemma had been watching all weekend, ever so careful not to step on the toes of the aurors who had been stationed outside the school. She hated to think that she would hurt Ellie's feelings by having a premature run-in with her little mudblood. She had just begun, she wasn't ready for her run in with the hardworking Aaron Ellis. She had a great symphony in the works, she didn't want to sully it at the introduction. So she stalked around the edges of the campus, letting Samir do most of the on-campus observations. They had plans for that evening, but for the afternoon... well, it never hurt to do a little re-con.

She heard the girl before she saw her and it was like a sweet melody to her ears. Anger and frustration, it was almost too perfect. Like a cat, she moved from behind the trees and approached the girl. "Cigarette?" she offered her as she pulled her own case from her cardigan pocket and pushed her wool cape off her head. It was likely that the only people on campus who would know her face were Ace and Ellie, she was pretty sure she was safe.
