"What I feel for her, isn't something that is up for discussion," Vincent argued with his mother, one of his arms waving around in frustration whilst the other held Hermione's hand.
"What you feel for her, is merely lust," she sniped.
"No, Mother," he replied. "It's love, actually. I'm in love with Hermione Granger."
His mother stared at him, before turning her gaze to Hermione, before looking back at him.
"What about your betrothal contract?"
"You're betrothed?" Hermione asked quietly, looking up at Vincent with a hurt expression.
"No," he disagreed. "I'm not. Father wanted me to have one when I was younger but he ended up in Azkaban before the idea could be followed through. Mother was the one that argued my case, telling me to follow my heart. I love you, and you have my heart, so I have no choice but to follow you."
Hermione smiled tearfully up at her boyfriend before his words registered and she looked at his parent. She was smiling, a satisfied smile.
"I'm glad my son has followed his heart," she commented. "Now, how about some tea? I'd like to know the woman who managed to get my son in her clutches."
