But before it could be remarked on further, he was already talking about the Ministry.

"Do you.." she paused, trying to find her breath, "Do you really mean that? I'm not.. I'm not exactly the best of wife material. I want a career. That isn't exactly conducive with being a housewife. And I'm really not that great in the kitchen. You may very well starve." She might have been exaggerating a little bit, but she definitely had stranger skills outside of the kitchen.
