Holly had stopped walking, staring at her husband as if seeing him for the first time. Of course she knew how loveless an arranged marriage could be, but to hear him voice such disdain for the mother of his son---there were two people that had to create that child, and to think that..why had he even bothered to have a baby with Cordelia? Did the other woman care enough about him to deal with having sex with someone who obviously didn't care? Or was it just out of obligation? The thought sickened her.
"You can't just say something like that and expect me to not react," Holly said sharply, crossing her arms. "What, you only slept with her to make a baby? An heir---" She scoffed, shaking her head and looking away, "Were you lucky enough to do it in one shot or were you forced to---"
Throughout her years of struggling through Slytherin House, as a girl, as a halfblood, Holly had always felt the need to fight for her rights and beliefs. The women on the Harpies, her Arrows girls, they were constantly bombarded with situations that others didn't have to face. Thinking that her husband had been one of those men that had done things to live up to the pureblood standard---
--she felt stupid. She'd allowed Theo to keep his past to himself, because who was she to judge? She had her own demons, but she'd never done anything to live up to certain expectations.
"You can't even say you love Theodore now," she blurted, throwing a hand out, finding that his choice of words had really irked her. "'Adore'? What the hell, Theo?"
