Birds Do It, Bees Do It

[Victoria Rochereau]

With the first two words at the beginning of her explanation, Victoria knew exactly what had happened, but her eyes widened nonetheless in anticipation. Indeed, a bright smile lit up her entire expression and she gasped. "Courting!" she repeated, not bothering to hide her excitement. "Oh, Eva how marvelous!!"

Of course as expected, Victoria found herself positively envious of the fact that Eva had started courting before her, but surprisingly she discovered that the envy came without any ill will towards her best friend. Of course they'd known each other since before they were sorted at Hogwarts, and discussed in detail what it would be like for both to be courted, engaged & married, but they always knew that it might happen to one of them before the other. She just always figured that, along with the happiness for each other, jealousy would accompany it with a bit of resentment.

Surprisingly, Victoria found herself merely envious and nothing more. "Oh do tell me about how it happened, and don't you dare leave a drop of information out!" she gushed, leading Eva to the couch and sitting.
