One of the first time she kissed him came to mind.
“You know I never really thought about Hogsmeade being a place where people lived when I was at school. Just a place for us to visit and hangout.” Weird how you didn’t think of the big picture as a child in the castle. The only thing that mattered was what was going on in there. How things were so different now. “Well it’s nice to just have us time, so I’m fine with it not being a weekend, plus these older couples are cute.” They reminded her of her grandparents really.
She smiled as they talked about their son. “He looked just too cute in that little outfit you bought him. I had to go to my grandparents and show him off as well as your parents.” She did enjoy showing her baby off obviously a proud mommy. “Speaking of your mom I was talking to her a little bit today about maybe going back to the hospital like once or twice a week. What do you think?” She really hadn’t thought much about going back to work yet, but once his mother asked the thought stayed in her mind. She did miss the social part of the hospital and she wanted to still be a healer one day.
Ethan mirrored Minerva's smile, though it soon grew to a grin to match the one hers turned into and he couldn't help the chuckle at her words. He had a pretty good idea what she might be remembering as he thought about the first time he had visited the Three Broomsticks. That had been a great day.
"Sure, I think we'd have time to stop there. Maybe get a drink or something." Maybe they should have gone there instead as they had actual dinners, but this place always seemed a little more cozy and not quite as busy. Though maybe that didn't matter when it wasn't a school weekend. Still, this was a special place and he was glad they were here.
He nodded a bit and casually glanced at a couple tables near them, trying not to be rude. Ethan did know that there was an entire village of people here, even stopped at one of those houses at one point last year, but for the most part the actual shops seemed the most prevalent, the place where everyone went. Even when he would visit from Uni, it was always on a school weekend and that was who lined the streets. It just seemed like such a stark contrast today.
"Yeah, there must be families and stuff here." And obviously a large population of the elderly. He didn't know of any kids that came from here but there must be some, right? He turned back to Min and gave her a smile.
"Sounds good to me too. Maybe we'll come back on our 50th anniversary and some young kids will wonder what we're doing here too," he said with a grin and chuckle.
He continued grinning as she talked about Gunnar and the little outfit he picked up. It really was cute and he thought it was perfect for him.
"Of course you did," he chuckled, though he wondered if the grandparents got him Valentines gifts too. That would be no surprise there. He looked up as she mentioned the hospital.
"Sure.. I know how much you loved it there. If you feel like you can handle a day or two, why not?" But that was something up to her. He also knew how much time she devoted to taking care of Gunnar and their home, so it was really what she wanted to try to balance. He didn't think once a week would be so difficult though.
