She stated st him for a moment and then loudly sighed. “No we haven’t had the ceremony yet. That’s not until May. I’m from several months before that. I consider us practically married though. You know. Since October.” She gave him s meaningful look only to realize he had no idea what she was talking about.
Stupid man. “You know? Hogsmeade? The room above Rosmertas?” Her frustration made her blunt. “You know we finally slept together? Merlin Rodolphus...” she might have fussed more if he hadn’t cupped her cheek.
She obviously didn’t know that it had been months in his time since they had had the chance to touch. Her Rodolphus would have demanded she vocally submit but he didn’t seem remotely concerned about that. She had been with him enough to recognize need. So apparently her age wasn’t going to bother him. His didn’t bother her either. Bella went up on her toes and gave him a chaste kiss. “Better?” And She was back to teasing. Her eyes held humor. He was the only one who ever got to see that.
