Melody, desperate for a distraction from the grief losing one of her last friends and only family member, had dived back into her animagus studies with a vengeance. Studying was, historically, her best coping mechanism, and she was certain that within the next two months she would be making her transformation. Admitting as such to Ben would be an adventure all on its own, but Melody couldn't stop to think of anything else. If she did...if she allowed Lucy's final words to hit...well, there was no coming back from that. Not without the comfort of the bottle.

Forever a frequent visitor of Whizzard, Melody made.her way to the back of the store where she knew Mr. Binns kept the yet to be shelved books. He had mentioned a few new books of transfiguration coming in last week and Melody was eager for new material. That was, at least, until Ms. Gallivan interrupted her search with a cheerful greeting.

It was hard to think anything but something nefarious was happening between the blonde and her husband. The way they were chatting at the game coupled with Ms. Gallivan's easy question set Melody's nerves aflame. Had he gone out and begun an affair, then? She knew she hadn't been meeting his needs as often as she had before Lucy, but, fuck, it hadn't even been a month! Was a man's dick that needy that it needed to be sheathed in a woman so often?!

Melody, relying on her training as a perfect debutante, smiled at Ms. Gallivan. If Ben was having an affair, fhen there was nothing to be done. Melody had tricked him into marrying her and it was made quite clear his thoughts on the matter. Hopefully he purchased a different condom to be used, at least. "Ms. Gallivan. No, unfortunately, Mr. Crouch is at work presently. Did you need something of him?"
