In the morning the ring box is still on the chest of drawers and nobody has touched it and Mione has not given an answer.

MalfoidI am not going to ask again. That was the agreement and I am going to keep it even though it is killing me.

MioneI know. That is why I am going to answer. Not because you waited a night. Because you did not ask.

Malfoid sits down on the end of the bed rather heavily, which is the least dignified thing she does all week.
