Analiza stood at her office window, her hawkish eyes narrowed as she focused on the Hospital Hut. A couple of Aurors had stormed in earlier that day and said they were there to investigate the Halloween Dance and to question Flora Blake (Was that the name?) about her possible involvement. Analiza had been told, pointedly, that she was no longer a Ministry official and that she had no right to be present during the questioning. This seemed highly suspicious considering that Tulojow was a mere healer and no longer a ministry official herself, yet she was the one present during the questioning?

Analiza fully intended to have a discussion with the School Governors about the woman. Ana had given her quite a few privileges, from allowing her to keep the hospital hut outside to her hiring some woman to assist her. She had even heard that there was a child living in the hut. She let Tulo get away with this, and even stood back as she sponsored SAWS, and yet she got nothing... not a single damn thing... in return. And they said she was the unfair one.

Sighing angrily, Analiza returned to her desk with the intention of writing a letter to the governors when there was a firm knock at her office door. Perhaps it was the aurors returning with the intention to grill her next? With a wave of her wand, she opened the door and said "Come in" without looking up from the letter. It wasn't until a pair of hands slammed down on her desk, causing her to splatter ink all over her unfinished letter, that she looked up to see who came in. "Ah. Mr. Matthews. Can I help you?"

"You promised me that she wouldn't be part of this." Devlin gasped out angrily, obviously having run all the way to her office. She couldn't help but smile at this. How cute. He actually cared what happened to the Blake girl. It was cute, but problematic. She just hoped his fear of her wrath outweighed his love for the clumsy Hufflepuff.

"Who?" She said innocently, somewhat entertained by his anger. .

He responded by slamming his fist on the desk "You know damn well who! Fauna Blake! You promised that if I worked for you, you wouldn't let her get in trouble!" He shouted. Pointing at the window, he added "I was just told that she got pulled out of Charms class by Aurors. She is out there, right now, getting harassed. Why is that?"

"Relax..." Ana smirked, returning to her letter "... They won't get anything from her. There is no evidence she had anything to do with it...The only thing you have to worry about is..." She glanced up at him from under her brows, her smirk widening a little "... if she is going to accidentally lead them to you. Hazard of falling in love with the enemy I am afraid."

Devlin was silent for a moment before he sat down and regained his composure. Crossing his arms, he tried to give her an impassive look, as though he had not just stormed into her office in a rage. "I'm not in love and she wouldn't do that. Besides.... I am not the only one who would take a fall if they found out. So would Alex and Gavin and..." He licked his lips, clearly knowing he was playing with fire here "... you."

Analiza let out a mocking laugh "That's entertaining Devlin, but while you may think that the entire world hates me and would believe anything bad about me, there are enough people in the Wizangamot that would take my word over yours... However, I don't want Alex and Gavin, or you believe it or not, to get in trouble..." She put down her quill and crossed her arms, smiling at him "... Do you still have the evidence? The bottle I mean..."

"Yeah. I haven't destroyed it yet... what about it" He said, eying her warily.

"You silly silly goose.." She chuckled. Leaning forward and lacing her fingers together, she got serious "Don't destroy it... plant it. Pick a SAWS member and find a way for it to get into their possession." Devlin's expression went from confused to clear as though it finally dawned on him. Licking his lips, he nodded "... That could work. Um... I am not sure who though."

"Madeline Pratt." Analiza said without a second thought. Pratt was one of the few members of SAWS that Analiza KNEW was a member. An outspoken member at that. She also had been friends with both Ollie and Darcy, which made it seem so much more likely that she would also try to do something. Devlin was clearly uncertain about framing a friend of his darling Fiona (Was that it?...no?) and Analiza could only reach out and pat him on the hand "Don't worry. She will never know that you did it. Hire some first year or something... I can give you a couple extra sickles for it. Pratt is our best chance since she is the most likely. Trust me on this..."

"You're right..." He said finally, after a few minutes of mulling the thought over. Standing, he gave her a slight bow "I'm sorry to have intruded Ma'am... I hope we can continue to do business..." Analiza laughed and shooed him off with a wave of her hand "Just go and get it done. I want to have enough evidence to suspend her by next week. Off with you now..." She returned to her letter and didn't look back up until she heard the door close. Once her office was empty, Analiza returned to the window, tossing the letter into the trashcan on the way. Staring down at the hut, she narrowed her eyes once more, but this time with a satisfied sneer. She wouldn't get the governors to oust Tulo, she would let the woman destroy herself with this SAWS bullshit. Ana would just... help it along a little.
