While Vizet and Luna were eating shortbread in the tea room, they talked about seeing Cedric earlier.
"Calling each other Mr. and Miss?" Luna smiled and took a sip of black tea. "That sounds rather interesting..."
She seemed to picture the scene, and said in a singsong voice, "Why don't we try it too?"
"Mr. Lovegood and Mrs. Lovegood?" Vizet blinked slowly, as if something had occurred to him.
"In public?" He leaned close to Luna's ear and said softly, "That does sound like a good idea, Mrs. Lovegood..."
Luna felt Vizet's whisper, his warm breath brushing her auricle and falling on her earlobe, like a soft feather gently stroking her ear, leaving a ticklish sensation behind.
"Mr. Lovegood!" Holding back the urge to laugh, she answered softly.
Vizet smiled and nodded. "Mm!"
Luna looked at Vizet's smile and had already noticed the deeper meaning behind it. She understood what Vizet meant by deliberately emphasizing "in public."
The moment she thought back to the implications in those words, she felt her ears grow hot. She could even imagine her earlobes turning bright red, perhaps red enough to drip water.
Even so, she still met Vizet's smile, pinched up a piece of shortbread, and held it to Vizet's lips. "Please, Mr. Lovegood!"
Vizet also handed Luna a piece of shortbread. "Mrs. Lovegood, please enjoy it with me!"
The shortbread Cedric and Cho Chang had picked really was excellent. The buttery flavor was very rich, yet it complemented the taste of the black tea perfectly.
While Vizet and Luna were absorbed in the shortbread, Nymphadora Tonks's voice rang out. "Vizet, Luna, so you're here!"
Nymphadora Tonks was wearing the standard Auror robes, and her hair color looked normal too—a fairly common reddish brown. Her hairstyle was a neat, capable bob cut
