Ah, love. You do have that in common, yes. And I certainly don't mind. (As I just said in a message to him, the quickest way to my heart these days is an appreciation of your virtues.)
I quite agree jealousy is not particularly attractive, no. And it's always rather seemed a waste to me. Much better to sort out whatever's making one feel uncertain, and get on with it, than wallow in distress. (Though as I write that, well, I don't always follow my own advice, do I? Not particularly distressed at the moment, promise, just commenting generally.)
As to restraint, well. Passionate snogging in public is still not on, I fear. (I know you are tempted, but really. I want to be able to look Minerva and Septima and all in the face. Never mind students.) But much more touch than I was comfortable with before in public, yes. All those little affectionate gestures you keep catching yourself in.
(Though as to breakfast, Septima did a few tricks with my schedule, and I likely will take the chance to sleep in when I can, if you can bear not to see me. Though goodness, I'm looking forward to actually being able to share rooms, at the same time I'm dreading the necessary rearrangements.)
On Harry. He and I had a talk last Saturday morning, while you were off with your brother and family. I - well, I was blunt enough to make sure he really was all right with us, and he is. "Well, yeah, of course." to quote him.
But I also got the impression that - look, I don't want to intrude on your time with him, and it's clear he thinks the world of you - but. I got the idea that time with both of us, just the three of us, is something he'd really enjoy. Do you think we could make that work, from time to time? A quiet fly (if the both of you don't mind my comparative lack of skill) or something? (I will cheerfully let you both educate me further on Quidditch, too.)
I'm now curious about Rod's thought, but I will be patient as you wish. And I've no plans but you after the Sorting.
