She shrugged. "It sounds ridiculous, when you consider I still have two more years of school, but yes, I guess that's part of it. I think, with everything that's going on, they want to make sure we'll both be... secure? And I don't want them picking someone like Nott or MacTavish orMerlin forbid, any of the other boys in my year." She gave him a skeptical look. "Don't mistake me. A very nice first ever kiss doesn't delude me one or the other about possible intentions, but... " She smiled a little wistfully. "It's a nice daydream."
She grinned and shook her head. "She could, but the point is she would have liked to pick him for herself, I think. I have no delusions. I'm a Greengrass and I'm expected to make some very pureblood wizard a very pretty trophy wife, but I'd like to at least like him a little and if nothing else, I'd like to think I could be friends with whomever it I end up being on the arm of for the rest of my life. I think Daphne would like the same. Having the choice made for you? It's rather maddening."
