"Slow down," Hermione called.

Viktor stopped to wait for his wife. He knew that he was tall but that wasn't always a bad thing. It certainly helped him get where he was going faster.

"You need longer legs," he teased.

"If I hadn't stopped growing at fourteen I might agree with you. But I don't feel like aching," Hermione said.

She had grown rather rapidly a few times with magical aid. But it was always temporary and rather painful for several days afterwards. It wasn't something most people did without great reason.

"You sometimes wear shoes that make you taller."

"And walk slower."

Viktor couldn't argue with that. Hermione always did walk slower with heels on.

She caught up and grabbed his hand. "Maybe this way we'll stay at the same pace."
