Consider me the optimist, but I believe we'll both be lucky. We've both clearly decided to take what we want and see it though despite the consequences. With that in mind, I don't see why we shouldn't have love and be lucky in that regard. I do know that should Rufus and I marry, it will be for love. I don't think I could be happy with anyone else after this point.

And though it isn't for me, eloping sounds like an adventure in itself. Very much you, Febs. I would gladly come as a witness but I have a feeling your Mr. Umbridge wouldn't be all that enthused of the idea. I imagine he's not my biggest fan.

I will certainly make things work. If I can progress as a curator and proof my worth of designing exhibits, I don't see why I couldn't do so with children. I may not be able to go into work physically all the time but I could surely send things in via owl. But.. that is all rather hypothetical. We can cross those bridges when we get to them. With my luck, I'll not be able to conceive or something.

Of course you can use me as a cover! Just make sure I have notice in advance so that I can be prepared. I wouldn't want to cause you any problems unknowingly. Though if you can't forewarn me, I'll know that if I'm asked to simply say you'd been by to see whatever my latest job focus was.
