“What do you reckon? Blenheim Palace, or the London Eye?”
“Why can't we just go the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts?”
“Nah, can't Apparate there. Best if it's a Muggle building, all things considered.”
“Big Ben?”
“Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Yes, I'd like to do it there. Shall we?”
“You want to go right now?”
“Well, get your mittens and whatnot. It's bloody freezing at that altitude.”
“Mmm, I can think of something much better than mittens to stick my hands into.”
“Thank god for your hot Gallic blood.”
“Alright, let's go. Count of three?”
“One -”
“Two-”
Teddy was laughing too hard to say “three.”
The next moment, Victoire's ballet flats were at the edge of a massive clock tower. Low-flying aircraft blinked red as they descended.
The harvest moon was huge and orange. They threw back their heads and howled at it until they had no voices left. Teddy sounded like Hagrid's hound, except that he kept snorting with laughter. And gasping with asthma, and using his inhaler, and swearing merrily.
