Re: Marlene/Emmeline
"You're thinking like an Auror, not like a politician," she said. "They are two different worlds. Politicians have no allegiance to anyone but themselves. Once you understand that, the rest falls into place."
Marlene thought for a moment, and then shrugged. "I have no idea. He came home, had some kind of fancy picnic set up, we started to talk and a few moments later we were arguing about something. I lost track of what we were arguing during the fight, but originally something about him being the best Auror and us just being there to get ourselves killed. Then he told me that I don't make orders in that house, I told him that I'd to somewhere where I can do and say what I want, and I left," she said. "He loves me, I love him, I'm still living at the estate. If he wants to talk to me, he knows where to find me."
