[ Harry almost wants to tell her that he's getting his own exercise learning to spar, but he holds his tongue. Would it really be helpful to know that he's fighting? Even if it's not really all that dangerous? Probably not, no. ]
It's curious, there's no one at my court I'd consider family. I've met John, and I don't know, maybe it's my own inexperience, but he's more a soldier, someone to share a drink and a bad meal with, than a 'dad'. Does that make any sense?

[ All over the Brucolac. So that's a thing that happened. ]
C'mon, happier thoughts for both of us. Have you sorted out what you're doing during Samhain?

[ She pauses before her cheeks go a little pink. ]
Think he'll ask me for real this time?
no subject
[ And that's the truth. ]
You could always ask him, if you wanted?
no subject
No, I - I don't know. Maybe?
no subject
[ He does, too. ]
no subject
It should be easier than this.

[ Harry wraps his arm around her. He's offering the most helpful suggestions and she should be proud! ]

Maybe I'll tie a note around Padfoot's neck and send him off.
