Severus' mother was slim and pale and pretty. She was called 'Perfection' at Hogwarts, her sliver of Veela blood attracting men like honeybees. "I can't help it," she later whispered to her husband, her voice as fragile and beautiful as the snap of breaking bones.
Millicent is tall and fat and brash and bold. Her face is splotchy. She doesn't care that he's easily twice her age, or that she used to be one of his students. She yells and swears and drinks and scratches and farts. If he ever hit her, she would hit him right back.
She's perfect.
