Chuckling softly when he pulled a missed pin from her hair and chucked it over her shoulder, Febs marveled at how easy this was, compared to everything else. They'd gone and done everything so backwards, they'd left themselves incapable of even pretending to behave as they were supposed to. It was as amusing as it was frustrating.

"You were fine," She assured him with another quiet laugh. "Smiling in public in general wouldn't kill you though." Febby bit her lip after he kissed her, head swimming ever so slightly. "Mr. Oh So Serious Head Auror." It was meant as a gentle tease, mostly to cover up the smitten grin on her lips.

Out of pure self-indulgence she kept running her fingers through his hair, even as she snuggled further in. Honestly she couldn't wait to do this every night, but he was right, they did need to wait a little while, just so they could get everything together. "Mmm, I'd invite you to dinner, but that seems like a bad idea, mostly because my family is crazy, not because of you." Even despite their misadventures earlier in the summer, Febs was confident her dad would like him. If she were being completely honest, she rather thought her mum would be glad somebody was willing to take her off their hands.

"Maybe next time, after this godforsaken ball at the end of the month, we could arrange for you to meet the parents and pick me up before we venture out into public again." Frankly she was far more terrified of him meeting her parents than she was of meeting his father. By the sounds of it, he was largely absent from Edric's life, so his opinion of her wasn't super important, at least not to her, she didn't know what Edric thought about that. Her parents on the other hand, well, it would make things easier if they at least liked him a little. Not that it would stop her one way or another, she was old enough not to need their permission to marry anymore anyway.
