Re: Bill/Marlene
"My mum did things a little different, and brought up two women who haven't rushed into a marriage," she answered, smiling. Both Margot and she had been more interested in their careers than getting married. "Maybe one day I'll get married, but now, it's not the time."
Marlene chuckled. "I'm not sure that he would have agreed with you. Fourteen year old boys like to pretend more than they want to discuss. At least Alastor was a Ravenclaw. He took it as another lesson."
"To sobriety and hope." She winked at him, before taking another sip from the pink drink she had picked. "I'll have to try the different colours just to see how creative he got with the taste."
