Next on her dance card was Mr. Binns, the owner of the only bookshop worth visiting in Hogsmeade!
She thought him tall, dark, and handsome as could be—but never before had she greeted him when they were in the shop at the same time. She approached him with hesitation, reminding herself that he should not intimidate her any more than Mr. Scrimgeour (or Mr. Prewett, or Mr. Longbottom, or any of those men much higher on the social ladder than herself)!
"I believe it is our turn to dance the polka," she greeted him with a smile, having to crane her neck up to look at him. (Why were all of her partners so tall today? And why was she only now growing fond of the prospect of a tall husband?)
