Babies were evidently a touchy subject, so they moved on to his touchy subject instead. "Ah, good for you. I tried out when I was in my third year. I took a bludger to the head and fell twelve feet. I had a cracked skull, a broken arm and a broken collar bone. That sort of quashed my ambitions to be a professional quidditch player. I left Hogwarts in 2034. I didn't get to stay for any ceremonies, I was asked to leave the day after my final NEWT exam." He avoided her eye and carried on chopping. Which has got to make me ten years older than you.

He smiled at her when she said she had no idea if she and the other woman got on. "Jumping with both feet then? Excellent." When she hit him, he adopted a mock wounded expression. "Ow! Beater was certainly the right position for you eh?" He chuckled and took a sip of the wine for himself.

"I love this place already. It feels like we're supposed to be here, as though this is where my feet were always leading me." The back of his neck itched but he didn't scratch it, just sort of jiggled his shoulders. "She is tiny but she wears the most enormous heels I think I've ever seen. They make her almost average height." When Frida asked about Kitty, Malachi swallowed and collected all the ingredients, lighting the stove so that he could brown the meat and vegetables. Avoiding her eye, he started adding things to the pan; first oil and then the meat. "Kitty was my younger sister. After I was cut off, disowened, whatever you want to call it, she wasn't allow to come and see me. When she was fifteen, she got an acute case of dragon pox. She wrote to me, begging me to go and see her, but by the time I got back to England from Canada, it was too late. I wasn't welcome at the funeral." He stirred the contents of the pan, trying not to cry or look at Frida. "I've never forgiven myself." He cleared his throat and looked around for his wine glass, spotting it on the other worktop and grabbing it, taking a generous sip.

When things were ready, Malachi drained the rice and added it to the skillet, allowing the risotto to sit for a few minutes after he had added Parmesan cheese. He sent the chopping board and knives to the sink with his wands, where they started to wash themselves up. He got some plates, cast a warming charm on them and dished up the risotto. As he grabbed the cutlery form the draw, he asked distractedly, "Can you take the wine out please?" He finally looked at her again and realised that his wink had caused her to blush. His breath caught in his throat again. He swallowed "You really are very beautiful." His voice was quiet and steady.
