Dempster couldn't help his sigh of relief when she corrected him with her use of "we".

It had never really occurred to him that he'd be in a relationship that people might find odd, but even the wizarding world wasn't color blind, and his age and their status as co-workers certainly didn't help matters.

When it came time to do something that wasn't just the two of them, he worried more than he might normally. But now he just smiled, and looked around the crowd for spots. Pointing he asked, "How about over there?" It was a busy table but not packed, with a couple of Bulgarians - strangers to him, but he assumed from the way they talked in a language he didn't recognize - and a witch he vaguely recognized from Kingsley's office talking to another from the security's admin staff.

Lavender stood on tiptoes to peer at the table. "Perfect." It never hurt to mingle a bit and everyone at the wedding seemed to be friendly. With such a celebratory atmosphere, it would have been hard not to be in a good mood. Alicia and Viktor's nuptials had drawn quite an international crowd and it seemed as though the Bulgarians really knew how to throw a party.

"You know," she said as they made their way towards the table, "this is the first wedding I've been to since coming through the portal. Seems almost overdue, now that I think about it. Like there should have been more somehow."

Dempster nodded as they made their way through the crowd, "It does seem odd." He desperately wanted to tease her, ask her if she thought they should do something about that, but he worried how she'd take it.

Instead, they got to the table and set down his plate and drink before pulling out her chair.

Sitting down next to her and leaning in close, clearly excluding the others, he said, "I don't particularly want to share you," with a small giggle.

It was hard to resist kissing him when he leant in like that; Lavender pressed a light peck to his lips. "Good," she said quietly, almost smugly, "because I don't want to be shared. I only want you." The words brought a little colour to her cheeks, but she didn't look away. In fact, she shifted her chair a little closer.

"I'm going to hold you to that promise of a dance later," she added.

[tt_dempster]

Dempster didn't let her go that easily and pulled her in for another kiss - an appropriate one, but certainly not a light peck. "A dance. Later, huh? How about now, and then later we can negotiate the terms of another 'dance'?" He quirked his eyebrows at her, his food and drink forgotten the moment her cheeks blushed like that.

He stood and lifted her with him, "Honestly I just can't wait to see the jealousy on everyone's faces, when they see you in my arms." He leaned down, whispering right into her ear, "Far more beautiful than the bride, though I know better than to say that out loud."

"Mm. Anyone would think youre trying to seduce me." Lavender lowered her voice to a whispeer. "I think we won't need to do much negotiation." A dance now and then some 'dancing' in private later would be perfect. Dempster knew the way to her good side.

Taking his hand, Lavender laughed softly. "You're terrible," she teased with a roll of her eyes. "Though I think a few people might be jealous of me."

Dempster laughed with her, enjoying how their voices sounded in chorus together. Had he really been so grumpy and gruff and quiet before he'd known her? He felt like there was noise in his life now, after so long buried in his books and his work.

Pulling her onto the dance floor gently he wrapped his large hands around her and pulled her close. "I think anyone would be right, Miss Brown," he added as an afterthought.

Spinning her out and then pulling her into his chest once again he asked with a grin, "So Alicia is the first of your friends to get married?"

[tt_lavender]

"Good." Lavender smiled widely as Dempster pulled her against him, right where she belonged.

The smile never left her face as she spun out and then back into his embrace. "Now that you mention it, I think so. Other weddings I've been to have mostly been family and that sort of thing."
