Marigold was hard at work, just as always. But, Charlotte had made her promise she'd eat at least once a day while she was studying. The problem was that she didn't have time to eat. With the help of a time turner, she was taking four extra classes and rarely had enough time to even finish her essays for her regular classes. Let alone the extra ones she was taking.

So while she was working on an essay for Ancient Runes, she was trying to munch on some fruit for dinner. She rarely even registered when people were around her, let alone when they were looking at her. She scribbled more notes, popping a raspberry into her mouth and chewing slowly.

	Howell wanted to say something about Marigold feeding him, but drawing attention to it seemed like it might make it go away. He just leaned forward and ate the berry from between her fingers instead, smiling at her. "Your cousins know Batman?" he asked. "I guess your father is a big proponent of Muggle solidarity."

	"Brutus reads a lot of comic books." Marigold pointed out with a shrug. "He's kind of this really huge nerd and doesn't want people to know about it. Most Macnair's have reputations to protect or something. It's stupid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really?" Howell laughed a little at the idea of Brutus Macnair being a huge nerd. Flirting with Marigold apparently had all sorts of perks. He picked up a berry from her bowl and held it out to her. "That is stupid, but I guess people would be less afraid of him if he was honest about himself, which he probably doesn't want."

	"I don't think that people should be less afraid of him. Brutus is mental." Marigold pointed out and then shook her head. "He's still liable to fly off the handle and murder someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Howell shrugged. "I believe that," he said. "I don't know him well or anything, but the time he broke my arm I definitely got that vibe from him. At least he doesn't throw people in the rubbish bins anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's got some new girlfriend or something." Marigold pointed out and shook her head. "She's made him stop hurting people like that or something. I don't know. It's really complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At least she sounds like she's a good influence on him," Howell pointed out, shrugging. He looked at Marigold for a moment, then smiled. "This is nice," he said. "We're doing well, don't you think? We get along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marigold looked back at Howell for a moment and nodded. "Yes. We're doing well." She told him, then tucked a bit of hair behind her ear. "But, I really should get back to writing my essay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maybe he'd pressed his luck mentioning how well this was going. Howell smiled at Marigold and stood up. "You're right," he said. "I should go see my friends anyway. I'll see you this weekend. Ten, at the front doors?" He leaned down, kissing her cheek. "I'm looking forward to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
