"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
I am writing to you, to ask why I have yet to see the female you apparently wish to marry?
I am still your grandmother, and I thought you respected me more.
I should perhaps invite her over to tea one day, unless you soon will plan an opportunity for me to meet her. I trust your father and mother have already met her, I certainly hope so.
Merlin's beard Grams we've barely been courting for two months, talk of weddings will scare the poor girl off. Honestly, nobody has met her because I'm trying to ease her into things. Our family is scary and big and I really like having her around, so excuse me for not throwing her face-first into the family. She has a smaller family and we're going to take things slowly. You'll get to meet her, after she meets Mum and Da, I promise.
I doubt she would be able to make tea Grams, she's a professor, it's hard fro her to get away from the school. If you're hell-bent on meeting her, she and I have plans to see one another on her January Hogsmeade visit, which is the twentieth, you could chaperon the outing if you like.
Let me know what you decide.
Love always,
Hamish
PS: Thanks for worrying about me, I see how it is.
I believe two months is more than enough to introduce at least some of your family. I am not inviting her to see the entire family, merely your father, your mother and me.
I trust you to keep your word when you say that I am going to see her soon.
It is only a matter of making plans ahead, I am sure she will be able to find a few hours to have tea with me.
Unfortunately I have just received a letter from Miss Roxanne Van Helsing. I have invited her to tea as well, and she said the next day she would be able to have time, would be on the next Hogsmeade weekend. So I am unfortunately unable to chaperon your meeting.
I trust you will be able to find another chaperone and that you will behave like the perfect gentleman.
Well you enjoy your tea with Miss Van Helsing, I'd ask why you're getting together with her, but if I remember vaguely she has something to do with Dunny. I am not as on the up and up as you are with what's going on in the family. I will speak with Miss Ollivander on our properly chaperoned outing in which I will behave myself as I always do. I will find out when she will be able to get away from school to meet with you. Do not be surprised if it isn't for a little bit, does have a very time-consuming position and you have to respect that as much as I do.
Unfortunately if you want me to behave, I have to pay attention to society, as well as dragons. I will try my best to get Miss Ollivander to have tea with you, but you have to promise to be nice. I started this courtship because I really, really care for her Grams, please don't scare her away. Besides, when have I ever let you down?
I would never dream of telling you what to do, I was merely requesting. She is special and I'd like to keep her that way. Our family can be a bit intimidating if not approached the right way, but that's how you raised us.
Our family is even more intimidating if she has no clue what she is walking into. If she only has met you in the family, she can be really scared if she meets the family when all of us are there.
I do not think you will like to have your bride running away on the way to the altar because she has never met your family, and suddenly sees it.
And I am talking about this in an unknown set of time.
When do you have time for tea? It is not often I see you.
I have a plan and she will meet everybody in time. Just a few a time, not the whole herd of us. Then she can come to a family party when she's comfortable, if we haven't scared her off yet. You're starting to scare me with wedding talk, one step at a time.
I always have time for you, we both have plans on the 20th, but we can get together between now and then if you like. I can make sure that I'm available.
I certainly hope your parents and me are among the first to meet her. Your cousins, especially those father away will hopefully be some of the last.
Do not worry Hamish. While I do think that you are old enough to get married, your parents have decided that it is your own choice and I will not force anything upon you nor her.
I make a promise that I will not talk about marriage when I meet her, if that makes you feel any better.
I know you all have your work and such, so it is much easier for me to hear when you have the time.
I love you Grams, thanks for being a team player. How about Tuesday afternoon of this week? I have a business engagement in the morning, but I should be able to meet you for high tea that afternoon. Shall I come to you at your home, or would you like to meet in Hogsmeade at Rosa Lee Teabag? I look forward to seeing you soon.
