Breaking the Non-Traditional News

“Pansy?! What’s the emergency? We’re having dinner.”
“It’s savoury stuffed quail, my favourite.”
“Daddy, Mummy, sorry to interrupt, but I…we’ve news.”
“We? Oh, is that Daphne? Hello, dear.”
“Hello, Madam Parkinson. Mr Parkinson.”
“Why so formal? We’ve been friends with your parents forever. I remember when you announced you were marrying your teddy bear.”
“Speaking of—”
“Bears?”
“No, Mummy! Marriage.”
“Oh! You’ve found someone?! You’re so proud, independent, I’ve worried.”
“Yes, Mummy. It’s…Daphne and I are—”
“Are what? Spit it out, Pansy, while we’re still healthy!”
“We’re in love!”
“…”
“Daddy? Say something.”
“Damn. Your mother won the bet.”
~
“You bet on my sexuality?!”
“No need for shouting, Pansy. Your father and I saw the writing on the wall ages ago. And, while we’d have preferred a son-in-law, at least you picked a worthy woman.”
“So wait. You…knew?”
“We guessed. Plus, Draco emailed.”
“You’ve…email?”
“Oh yes! Email is all the rage in the Sacred Twenty-Eight these days. There’s even a list serve.”
“I…wow.”
“So, are you girls engaged, then?”
“Yes, Mr Parkinson.”
“Call me Dad, Daphne.”
“I’ll try.”
“So, I’ve been thinking. How about a wedding picnic? A non-traditional wedding for a non-traditional couple. Pansy? Pansy?”
