Scorpius looked up incredulously but didn't stand. "Sit down, please," he said calmly. He had no clue why she was so uptight this time. Maybe it was because he questioned her barrage of criticism. He really had no idea what her problem was.
"Which words were they? I said I was leaving, and not much after that. Oh, it was after more criticism. I am not immature or blind. I haven't suffered, save for a few whispers, even at Saint Mungo's, but I also know that it gets better. Who knows if he and I will even last? I might decide that I do want to marry and have kids. I haven't ruled it out. I might also decide to stay right where I am. No matter what, your status is just fine." He did consider getting up, but he didn't yet. This whole conversation was ridiculous.
