Zachariah inclined his head in agreement at the mention of the elephant in the room. He didn't think Jo would enjoy a second reminder of her brother-in-law's death, so he didn't mention it again.

"It is wonderful to see you, as well!"

He lifted his eyebrows with interest, following after her and aiding her in the search. It had been some time since the book had been mentioned to him. He'd been quite busy on his last few trips abroad that he'd missed stopping in London altogether. "Where have you returned from? If I remember correctly, you're quite the traveler."

Zach's lips twitched upwards in amusement. "Yes, and I would swear it is much colder this year than last. At least, up in Hogsmeade it has." Whether that was true or not was up for debate; he was liable to say the exact same phrase every winter. "Wonderful weather for curling up with a book next to a fire, though. I am also doing well. Just back from Australia. What an interesting country!"
