"Frank just said, Daddy. We're on a date."
Once we had all settled in the kitchen with some fresh tea to warm us up, the questions started.
Rather than calming down on the walk home, Dad had only seemed to grow more agitated.
Visibly trying to control himself, he started with the worst question. "Have you had sex with my daughter?"
Mum whacked him upside the head for that as I blurted out, "No! I'm still a virgin, Dad!" Calming down a bit, I continued, "And even if we had, it would be none of your business. I'm a grown woman."
Cutting in, Frank said, "I respect and love your daughter, Uncle Harry. I would never do anything to harm her or disrespect her. And so you know, I'm planning on marrying her before I have sex with her."
Frank's quiet words had managed to stop whatever else my dad had been about to say.
He blinked a few times, proceeding to stare at the both of us quite hard.
After a few moments held under his gaze, he blinked again and nodded.
"Good. But realize, all the standard threats apply. As well as several non-standard threats. I am the Head of the Auror office; there are plenty of things I could get away with doing to make your life hell should you ever hurt her."
Frank nodded. "I expected no less. I actually expected much worse."
Dad and Mum both chuckled at that. Mum was the next to speak. "We're having the standard family get-to-together for Ally's birthday this weekend." An evil grin crept onto her face. "You can tell everyone the good news then."
