"Your mother is scary!"
Frank chuckled and pulled Alice to him. "My mother is scary? Yours is terrifying!"
She laughed at that. "She is not! Don't let her hear you say that. You'll encourage her."
He grinned and kissed the tip of her nose. God he loved this girl. And once he talked to her father today, he might even be marrying her sometime soon. There was a war going on after all.
"Do you think he likes me?"
It came out soft. A whisper really. There was no way he could marry her if her father didn't like him. He wanted to have his permission and his blessing. And Alice wanted a real wedding with her parents there.
And if he didn't marry her soon, they could all be dead before he got the chance. You-Know-Who was getting more and more supporters. People were disappearing. Entire Muggle families murdered. There were even of Inferi and Giants and Werewolves being recruited. There was no denying it: the Wizarding World was at war.
Alice smiled softly and nodded, "Of course he likes you. How could he not?"
She didn't know the carnage on his mind. Or his intentions in his heart. He smiled and sighed softly. She was so perfect. Sweet. Kind hearted. He hoped she would agree to marry him.
He hoped her father would let him marry her.
