What the hell just happened?I tensed under her embrace.
Deciding that going with it was the best way to end this awkwardness, I patted her on the back before pulling away from the hug.
"When you're ready, you let me know," she said. "And if you need anything, you tell Max and he'll connect us."
I forced a smile. "Thanks."
Finally, Dr. Green came back in the room. He looked just as uncomfortable as I was, but I doubted it had anything to do with having someone's mom proposition you on behalf of their son. Ugh.
"I want you to meet with Professor Halifax. She'll run a few tests to see if you're ready," he said.
"Ready for what?" I asked. "I've been doing classes for months now without magic."
"Yes, but the trials are something else, even if they are practice," he said.
"You can't be serious about making her go through those?" Ms. Obscura said. "What if she gets hurt? What if she dies?"
I would have been flattered if I thought she was concerned about me for any reason other than breeding. "I'm sure I'll be fine. I need to see what I can do and I still have a few weeks, right?"
"Right, but straight to Professor Halifax. She's waiting for you."
I nodded, grateful for the dismissal. This had been the strangest conversation of my life and I was ready to leave the room.
As I pulled open the door, Ms. Obscura called to me. "Don't forget what I said, dear."
I lifted a hand to wave to her. "I won't forget."
