"Ah, I see. I understand," she shared. Cordie would lightly nod, "I'm sure that no matter what, you'll continue to do well with it."

She would take a small sip of her tea, taking a moment to gather her thoughts when Elsie asked her a question. "I'll probably be managing the household, if possible," Cordie said. "I know it's going to be way different than how things were when I worked at Hogwarts, but it's better than nothing."

Without that outlet she wouldn't have made the transition as well as she had, even under the dubious circumstances of her marriage.

She would nod at Elsie's words once more. "I'm sure it will," she said softly, offering Elsie a warm smile. Cordie took a brief pause before continuing, "So, what else have you been up to these days?"
