Re: Bill/Marlene
"Well Harry's kids aren't exactly emulating their parents. Ginny and Harry might have met young but they drove mum nearly crazy by insisting to wait with the marriage for a few years. Hermione and Ron did the same, I was nearly thirty when I married though granted my wife was younger." He smiled. "Our children migh tbe getting married, but if they're emulating anyone it's their grandparents, we all waited a few years with the marriage, got the carreers started first. In the end, kids will do what they do, regardless of their parents."
"And they might like to show off like this, but in truth they're much pruder than we ever were."
Laughing, he shook his head. "No at sixteen it wouldn't have been theoretical any longer, which is why it would have been needed. At fourteen I still had a few months of innocence left," he said with a wink before finishing his glass and nodding.
"That sounds like an excellent idea," he said, smiling. Maybe coming hadn't been a horrible idea after all.
