Of all of the ways Sadie had imagined being allowed to stay in Hogsmeade, this had certainly not been on the list! Half of the point of their holiday visit had been to allow her to ease her way into society, having gone a good six months without another relapse of memory.

He would speak to her uncle this evening! The rush of that hit her then and she had to suppress a giggle. Was that allowed? She was not officially presented into society. Perhaps Mr. Ashford and her uncle could devise something appropriate until she had the chance to debut? Would she need to if she was already spoken for? Surely her aunt would know the answer. "That works," she breathed out, smiling up at him, eyes softening in affection for his consideration. "It is an unusual predicament we find ourselves," Sadie chuckled again. "I do not know the best course of action, but if you're willing to be patient, we will figure it out." It all seemed too good to be true, but Sadie had been riddled with such rotten luck across her short life that she was sincerely hoping things were turning around.
