[Still, she gets another gentle pat-pat as he settles back
down.
When he can talk again, he's going to have a few things to say about
this, but for now all he can do is fuss at her. Fussing, Hermione, do you
see it? He wants her to be happy. He wants her to find the right person for
her. He wants to know this fellow's name so he can, eventually, do the duty
of a best friend and get to know him better.]
[ Laughing again, she moves, tugging Harry onto her lap so she can pet at him. If she wasn't so used to the awkwardness of their situation, to the strangeness that happens here, she might be disconcerted, but it's been far too long for that now. ]
I don't love him. I'm not going to get married until I love someone and I don't love anyone here, not even someone handsome with magic.
[Well, that's not too bad then. If she seems content, then there's
nothing to worry about. Naturally, he can understand why anyone and
everyone with a lick of sense would want to be with Hermione.
That said, he wants a name, Hermione. He gestures towards himself,
and then to her, and then makes a wiggly sort of paw-wave as he tries to
ask what to call this Mystery Man.]
[Harry huffs and dramatically flops, clearly suffering as a result
of his ignorance. It's all play-acting; he understands why she's chosen to
wait. If she's happy, then there's time.]
With another little huff, he snorts and pokes his nose against the
palm of her hand. Yes, this clearly makes him the winner of this debate. In
any case, victory or not, he'll stay and lounge with Hermione for some
time, maybe encouraging her to read to him (he misses books and can't
figure out how to best turn the pages without hands), and basically make
himself a large, warm loaf until he hears a faint howl in the distance. He
has to go. ]
[ Hermione was more than happy to sit and cuddle Harry before - ah. She hears the howls from outside and pauses, tensing for a moment before she glances down. ]
[He stands and nods before bussing up against her for one last quick
snug. His tail is already twitching and he looks from her to the door. It's
important that he leaves before they come looking for him. It wouldn't do
for one of Morla's wolves to be found curled up and dozing with a Seelie
Marchioness, would it?]

Am I going to tell my best puppy who proposed to me... Hm...
[ Her fingers comb through his hair - fur. ]
Just a new friend. Maybe if that changes I'll tell you, but I can't really see what you think about him when you're a dog.

You can't use your puppy-dog eyes on me. Literally.
