He nodded but before he could say anything more he felt himself being pushed. For all Rodolphus' lack of charm and grace that sometimes made him a bit crass or crude he would never dare to strike a lady. The exceptions being within a game of Quidditch but then some physical contact is to be expected. As he was pushed back against the wall the only thing he could think to do was to wrap his arm around her waist again and hold her to him. Unlike before his embrace a little stronger, a little more passionate. He was not holding has someone would hold another to keep them from fight but as a lover would hold his love to keep her close. In that moment her scent overwhelmed him and he became slightly intoxicated with it.
It took him a moment to recover and respond, his arm still around her. Her body still pressed to his as he was pressed to the stone wall. "Yes but then my mother would be very disappointed, it being her favorite owl and all" Rodolphus said with a shrug letting Bella free from his embrace though he did not want to. "As you would being the eldest of your family. I do appreciate it Bella dear. Perhaps we should find somewhere a bit more private to continue" He suggested only because at any moment someone could come upon them in the hall and if he was going to air his suspicions he wanted to do it in private.
