Melody was somewhat surprised by Benevolence's mild reaction. It was the first she had spoken of her former beau (if Ben could even be referred to as such) in two years, and her friend didn't even seem the least bit surprised. Had she missed a rumor swirling about herself? Ben and she hadn't exactly been subtle at the ball or the quidditch party, but that was months ago. "What have you heard?" Melody asked quietly. Surely someone would have revealed what they knew by now?
She looked about to room to assure no one was lurking about. Her family members were all out as far as Melody was aware, but one could never fully trust a servant. One loose lipped maid and Melody would be facing the firing squad that were her parents again. "We - " meaning her and Ben " - haven't spoken since September. Have you heard otherwise?"
