I'd feel weird telling my mum, only because of all those rumours about her and Lucius and everything, and she might be horribly pleased but in a nasty sort of way, and you're not my boyfriend because of what she'd want.

You're my boyfriend even though that's what she'd want. Because that's how much I like you.

Or at least she used to want it. I'm not sure if she cares one way or the other any more. And regardless, I just wouldn't want to give her the satisfaction.

And yes, I'm a bit surprised he wouldn't know already too, but he has been terribly busy lately, hasn't he?

I don't mind telling your parents, and I think it'd be weirder to hide it from them, if that makes sense. Only because I know them too. Well, not like we'd have stand in front of them holding hands and say, "we've got something to tell you," because then they'd probably overreact or something. And I could see how it would be frightfully awkward to just up and say it, because really, how do you do that gracefully?

Sometimes I worry about what your mum would say

If you don't want to tell them, I'd understand. And it wouldn't change anything. Anything that matters. At least not between us. I don't care if no-one knows it or everyone does, we're still us either way.
