Cormac leaned back in his seat and looked at her. "Everyone has a calling. My calling isn't to be happy. It's to be content, to do what makes my parents proud, and if my parents get really lucky carry on the McLaggen pureblood line which means not marrying anything below pureblood. It doesn't matter if I have to go to another country like my father to find the woman. It just means I have to do. My parents aren't happen. My father married in his late 30s -- or was it early 40s? Either way, old considering. And my mother was just a young thing in her early 20s that he met on a trip to France. Both of the lives, just like mine is layout. Happiness, whether I'd want to be or not, isn't part of it. I'm practically the carbon copy imageof my father. And that's what he expects. In a way, that's what makes him happy."
"Me, I'd rather get the hell out of the Ministry, stop living in a flat my parents pay for, find someone who can deal with me because whoI am not my my family's money... Then I'll show them the money after they already decide I'm worth it. However,I love my flat, I hate routine, but love the benefits. And really,this is my happy."
