"We're in Scotland, Alastor. Rain and snow about. We can collect it, and water is the one thing that we will always have." He looked toward Patrick. "I asked him. It's water. He's using spells for both taste and colour. It's a good trade off, better than the real thing."
She grinned. "Because you are my favourite subject, and because according to him every boy fourteen to sixteen would be interested, so I was doing you a favour. At least according to him. So if you didn't, there's more proof that there's something wrong with you." She raised an eyebrow. "According to that reasoning, we should all be married and they should be single. Instead, this new generation is getting married while under twenty and we - you, I, Emm, Kingsley, Jacob, Remus, should I go on? We are all single. He really thought twenty-two was waiting. Potter's kids are all married. There are more planning to get married. I just... I don't get it."
