Em, you want to speak with us?

Daddy? What do you think of Adam Weasley?

Adam? He's alright, why? I know he's mates with Barty.

Because I'm dating him. *crosses her arms and waits for it*

You're dating him? I'm glad you've found yourself someone, Em *smile*

You're not going to yell at me about it? *wonders if he even knows that Adam isn't pure-blood*

Yell about it? That you're dating a half-blood? *stops himself from cringing*

I know Adam so it's not that bad. You're not planning on marrying him are you? *looks slightly worried*

*raises an eyebrow* You know... the thing is, I'm not dating his BLOOD, Daddy. I'm dating his body and his heart and his kisses... Half-blood, quarter-blood, Muggleborn... if we bleed, it's the same colour. We hurt the same, we laugh the same, we love our families the same. *sighs*

And if I did. Some day. If I love him enough to one day marry him? *clenches her teeth*

Then our blood heritage will slowly dissapear. It's just..I don't mind you being with him. It's just I like to keep the Crouch Family pure. We've been pure for generations *sighs*

But you love him..I can't stop you doing that. I suppose just this once it's alright. Because I love you too much to say no.

Perhaps it's for the best that it does. Then no one can start stupid bloody wars over it or ~~kill~~ hurt people over it. Perhaps Barty will follow your wishes and meet a pure-blood girl and have perfect pure-blood babies who go on to spout the same rhetoric and continue your legacy forever.

As for myself, I'll love who I love and if I marry someone you find so terribly beneath us, you can secretly sit and call my children evil names and call me a blood traitor and I'll embrace the term with a happy heart.

Em, I don't mind if you go with Adam. I like him, he's a nice boy. It's up to you who you marry, I'm not getting in your way at all. Barty likes him too so I have no trouble with it. I don't find him beneath us so don't put words in my mouth.

It's your life, Em. You choose how to play it. I'm always here if you need me or are in trouble.

I'm glad that you like him. After all, I rather like him as well.

*nods* Thank you, Daddy. *goes and hugs him*

That's alright, love *hugs tight*

I want you to enjoy yourself and Barty. You're my special girl *kisses cheek*

We'll enjoy ourselves. And we'll both do our best to make you proud, even if it's not the way you'd wish at first glance. I do love you, Daddy. *kisses his cheek*

It's alright, sweetie. I'm always here for you when you need me.

Nothing's wrong, Mum. I just wondered what you and Daddy thought of Adam Weasley?

(deleted comment)

*softly* I'm dating him.

I know I'm not your parent, but is everything okay? *concerned*

You're still an adult who's opinion I take seriously, Uncle Evan.

What do you think of Adam Weasley?

*raises an eyebrow*

I can't say I've ever really gotten to know him, but he seems respectful.

Why?

I'm dating him. I was afraid you'd all have a fit because he's not pure blood.

*raises his eyebrow more but simply shrugs* He makes you happy, Emma.

*nods* He really does. He makes me laugh... all the time. And he's amazing.

I'm glad I'm not having to fight you all on this.

*nods slowly and smiles a little and there's something in his eyes that shows he understands what it's like to be in a relationship that's seen as wrong by some people*

We only want to see you happy.

I know... But I expected more ranting.

*smiles gently at him, because she knows, really*

If you would LIKE me to rant, I will. *laughs softly, teasing*

No, that's okay. I'll live without the rant. *grins*

*laughs and nods* No rant it is then.

Though if he hurts you, then that is a completely different matter.

Good. *hugs him tight*

Oh, if he hurts me, which I know he won't mind you, you're allowed to rant as much as you want to.

*hugs her just as tightly*

Oh, if he hurts you, I'll do MORE than rant, and you know it.

You've nothing to worry about with Adam, believe me.

*nods slowly* Okay. Make sure it stays that way, because Merlin help me I will not hold back if he hurts you, Emma Grace Crouch.
