You just know Benedict was hounding Anthony like “When are you going to propose?!”
“I don’t know?! Why does it matter to you?!”
Ben tutted, “Because I want to marry Soph one day but she’s skittish. She’s like a baby deer and I need her to see you and Kate making it work.”
Anthony blinked at his brother, “Are you… using my relationship with Kate to model a healthy relationship for your girlfriend?”
“Yes, Simon and Daphy as well. You should be honored I picked you actually.”

Ok, but in Mile High-verse, when Mary and Tharman get engaged, how does Kate decide she's going to start calling Mary "Mum"?
Hmm, Well Kate knows her pretty well by that point because Mary’s been her Nanny for pretty much a year at that point, and she’s been dating Tharman nearly as long. So Mary’s been around a lot. She’s spent a lot of time with Kate, she helped plan Kate’s birthday party, she makes Kate breakfast and lunch and she reads her bedtime stories and ties her shoe laces and Kate feels very comfortable with her but still Mary’s surprised when Kate brings it up one morning, a little after Tharman left for work.
“You’re getting married to my Appa.”
Mary nodded, apprehension churning in her stomach, half wishing Kate had asked this when Tharman had been there to guide the conversation. Though she rather thought maybe Kate had waited to catch her alone. “That’s right, Kiddo.”
Kate didn’t say anything, just sipped on her juice for a moment, “And you’re going to be here all the time.”
“I am,” Mary swallowed, “Is that okay?”
“So you won’t… be my friend anymore?”
Mary cleared her throat, running her fingers through Kate’s curls the oddest idea running through her head. God, I hope I have babies just like you. “Remember we talked about the fact that I’m studying to have a different job?”
“Eyes.” Kate said confidently, “Your new job will be eyes.”
Mary smiled, “That’s right. So in a few months my job is going to be eyes, but I am always going to be your friend. I’ll live here with you and Daddy, and we’ll spend so much time together.”
Kate frowned, “But you’re… it’s different. It won’t be the same.”
“It’ll be maybe a little different.”
Kate didn’t say anything, she just stared at Mary for an uncomfortably long time before she said quietly, “I don’t have an Amma.”
Mary’s chest ached for her. The tiny girl who’d never had a chance to know the woman who must have loved her so desperately. The tiny girl who had so much love to give. “You do have an Amma, sweetheart. Even if she’s not with you anymore, you have an Amma and she loved you.”
Kate’s face crumpled a little. “That’s not what I wanted to say.”
“Okay, What did you want to say?”
Kate seemed to struggle with how to phrase it, frowning up at Mary who didn’t want to push her. Kate finally sighed, “Cinderella didn’t have an Amma. Her Daddy… got married and she… only liked her Daddy. She didn’t like Cinderella.”
Mary understood finally and her chest ached as she moved closer to Kate, “I see. Katie, I love your Daddy very much but I love you as well. He and I wouldn’t be getting married if I didn’t. I might not have made you with Appa but I do love you, and I’m going to look after you, okay?”
Kate seemed to relax, her tiny shoulders heaving as she took a breath, “Okay. So you’ll be… sort of like a Mummy.”
“I’ll be like a Mummy for you.”
“Can I… call you that?”
Mary’s heart stuttered, “If you want to. You don’t have to if it doesn’t feel good for you.”
“I think it… would feel good.”
“Okay well you can try it out then.”
Kate nodded, turning back to her juice, “Am I going to get a baby brother or sister?”
Mary’s eyes widened, “I- Why would you think that, Katie?”
Kate shrugged, “I want one. My auntie Im says that Ladies have babies when they love boys. She’s a brain doctor.” Kate said knowingly, “She’s smart.”
“Right,” Mary swallowed, “Well, Appa and I might have a baby one day. But not right now.”
Kate sighed, “Can I have a dog then?”
“Appa’s allergic to dogs.”
Kate rolled her eyes, sighing disappointedly “So he told you that then?”
“He did unfortunately, Sweetheart.”

Alright I’m late to the ask game but E (for jily of course)
E: Experimenting (Trying something new)
Lily leaves James a note to meet on the Quidditch Pitch at midnight. Turns out the wizards have their own version of the mile-high club 😉 Lily's nervous to try something so high up, but she trusts James and James' broom is so attuned to him anyway, who needs things like hands?
