She gave a yelped and slammed the lid shut, "Nothing!"
"You were on that silly website again, weren't you?" he said with a groan. "You know I hate all that stuff—"
"I wasn't! Honest!" she said as she slid the laptop off her laptop and stood up. "I just lost track of time."
He gave a disbelieving huff and put his arm around her waist as they walked back into their bedroom. "Harry, have you ever wondered what it would have been like if you'd been born a Veela?"
