Angie nodded listening to how Zephyra insisted that Betty was careful and would be careful with Olive. She also spoke about how she only danced a little with her family and Angie smiled listening to her speak. It was nice that she was so happy with her family life and how they lived. Angie loved listening to happy people speak about why they were happy, perhaps that was why she loved her job so much, she loved seeing all of the students on dates with those goofy, awkward smiles and telling their friends about their dates after they were over. She loved the girls that came in giggling with their best friends. Zephyra then went on to say that she’d be making sure that her twins avoided the place when they were old enough. Angie knew that every parent wanted what was best for the child, but, Angie had a very different perspective than the woman sitting across from her. Angie wouldn’t put any rules on Olive when he went into school, she wanted the girl to have the freedom to figure it out for herself. And, by the time that Olive was old enough to go to the village, Angie would make sure that she wasn’t there on those days, if she still worked in the village. She knew how important freedom and independence was for children and knew that more often than not, strict rules just made children want to rebel even more. But, she nodded anyway, not wanting to get into the philosophy of parenting right now, especially with someone whom she didn’t really know and was just having a casual conversation with.
“I had Moniya.” Olive told them. “Pneumonia,” Angie corrected with a laugh. “But the healer got you all better in just a week or so, didn’t he?” It had been one of the best experiences Angie had ever had at St. Mungo’s. As scared as she had been, the healer was brilliant and ticked Olive into not even knowing that she was sitting through a medical exam.

Zeph chuckled at how Olive said "pneumonia". She couldn't help it. The girl was adorable. She felt Angie was fortunate to have such a beautiful daughter. Both of them were fortunate. Zeph was glad to hear the healer got her better as well. The miracle of magic made it good to be a witch, especially when one was a parent as well.
"Those healers really know their stuff, don't they?" she said. Zeph herself had to go to them a few times in her line of work. Because of them, she could go in the next day after a bad night with a dark wizard. "I know they've fixed me up a few times over the years." She then chuckled. "I got myself put in the Hospital Wing back at Hogwarts as well a number of times after rough-housing on the grounds. We Puffs played hard in my day."
Soon, the Double Decker was almost demolished and Zeph could tell she'd eaten more then her share. She laughed as Betty burped.
"I take it you enjoyed it, my love," she said. Betty giggled. Zeph then looked at Angie. "I'm really happy we got to catch up a bit, Angela. And you have a lovely daughter. I'll talk to Mera and perhaps some time you both can drop by for dinner. We always love guests."

Angie nodded when Zephyra said that the healers really knew what they were doing. She often found herself incredibly thankful that magical medicine had advanced so far and they were living in a time where almost every disease was curable through magical remedies. She also found herself thankful that her mother was a nurse and for most, common illnesses, like a case of the sniffles, Angie could call her mother instead of having to take the child into to see a healer, in order to figure out what was necessary to heal the girl before she even realized that she was sick. Angie, who was no good at potions, was glad that the apothecary sold remedies for all ailments. “All of the hospital staff are incredible at their jobs.” Angie agreed. The woman then went on to tell a story about how the Hufflepuffs played hard back in her day and Angie nodded biting back a laugh. If you had told the former Slytherin trouble maker that the Hufflepuffs were a group of reckless students, she wouldn’t have been able to bite back her laugh. But as she matured, she found it more important to see people as people rather than a stereotype based on their Hogwarts house.
Olive hadn’t quite finished her ice cream yet. However, it seemed the older girl had. Olive was used to eating while they did errands, it was how Angie kept her quiet and happy while Angie took her time browsing the shops and making sure she remembered to pick up everything that she needed. After their day in the Alley, they needed to pop into one of the muggle supermarkets near their flat to get groceries, Angie knew that there was a grocery shop in the alley, but she found more of a selection in the muggle shops. Zpehyra and her daughter seemed they were ready to continue on their way. Angie stood up. “Yes, it was really nice to catch up and great to see that you’re so happy and your family is so sweet.” she insisted, though she had only met half of the family. “Send me an owl sometime and I’m sure we can do something again.” the Slytherin promised.

(I'll wrap it up)
Zeph nodded about the owl, really hoping that Angie could come by. It was always nice to meet new friends, and for the twins to have new playmates. She rose and picked up Betty, who wanted to be held after eating so much.
"I will," she said about the owl. "You'll be hearing from me when we figure out a good night to arrange it. I think I have a night off coming up fairly soon, and Mera should be home then as well. Good-bye, Angela, good-bye sweet Olive." She and Betty both gave them waves as they headed off.
