He rebuilt the same plate he'd tossed into the bin moments earlier.
"Well, you do realize," he said, turning to face her with his plate of food, "that you just agreed to marry me in a mere few months time." Hello, Captain Obvious. "...and the whole Ministry is not looking." He peered around the ballroom. "Just a few hundred or so people is all." Negative. From what he could see, they hadn't attracted any attention at all. Lucky for them, there were dances, twirls, and turns all around the place.
He nodded away from the buffet tables. "Seating Area?" he asked. He did have a plate of food to eat. But first... "You sure I can't get you something?" His eyes flickered toward the food again. "
Pile more food on your plate..." If he had space. "
And I will pick from it... and yes, my Captain, I will marry you a Christmas... Christmas day. How's that?" She prayed he wasn't going to get a mushy and hufflepuffy... She took him by the arm, and let him lead her...
