Evan likes the sound of Isabelle speaking French. While he did have lessons as a child, he never learned to speak the language very well. But he loves listening to her mumbling and sometimes ranting in French. He likes her intelligence and her wit that not many seem to expect. He likes that she cares about Barty. He likes her strange taste in literature, even though he doesn’t quite understand it.

WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO HURT THE OTHER?Isabelle would be more willing to than Marlene.WHO IS EMOTIONALLY STRONGER?Probably Marlene, but it’s up for debate. Isabelle is tough and has dealt with a lot.  WHO IS PHYSICALLY STRONGER?Marlene, between Quidditch and Dueling Club, is much stronger. WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO BREAK A BONE? Absolutely, without a doubt, Marlene. WHO KNOWS BEST WHAT TO SAY TO UPSET THE OTHER? Marlene is perceptive, but so is Isabelle. I think they’d both be lethal in an argument. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST AFTER AN ARGUMENT? Probably Marlene? Even though she’s stubborn, I think she might be less stubborn than Isabelle. (It depends on what they’re arguing about, though, because Marlene can be pretty unforgiving.)WHO TREATS WHO’S WOUNDS MORE OFTEN? Isabelle always has to treat Marlene’s wounds because Marlene doesn’t understand what safety is. WHO IS IN CONSTANT NEED OF COMFORT? Isabelle? Probably? For some reason, I think Marlene would be really whiny with (not about) Isabelle. WHO GETS MORE JEALOUS? Isabelle, I think. WHO’S MOST LIKELY TO WALK OUT ON THE OTHER? They’re equally likely, since both of them are pretty hesitant about commitment.WHO WILL PROPOSE? I can see it going either way, but Isabelle would do it on a beach. WHO HAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PARENTS?Isabelle. WHO INITIATES HAND-HOLDING WHEN THEY’RE OUT IN PUBLIC? I don’t think they’d be a PDA type of couple. They’d be so low-key about it that even though they’re dating, no one is sure. WHO COMES UP FOR THE OTHER ALL THE TIME? Marlene. WHO HOGS THE BLANKETS? Marlene does, but she says it’s because she knows Isabelle will hog them so she has to hog them first. WHO GETS MORE SAD? Isabelle, but I mean, she has good reasons. WHO IS BETTER AT CHEERING THE OTHER UP? Marlene is very good at reassuring Isabelle and getting her to laugh. WHO’S THE ONE THAT PLAYFULLY SLAPS THE OTHER ALL THE TIME AFTER THEY MAKE SILLY JOKES?Marlene always makes the silly jokes and Isabelle would fake slap her (and only mean it a little bit.)WHO IS MORE STREETWISE?Marlene. WHO IS MORE WISE?Isabelle. WHO’S THE SHYEST? Isabelle. WHO BOASTS ABOUT THE OTHER MORE?Marlene over here would be boasting about her beautiful veela girlfriend for daaaaays. WHO SITS ON WHO’S LAP?Isabelle would just always have her legs draped over Marlene, casual. 

WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO HURT THE OTHER?Marlene is more likely to hurt him emotionally, although she wouldn’t realize that she had. (hint hint) Physically, I’m sure they’ve both accidentally injured each other in the past. WHO IS EMOTIONALLY STRONGER?They’re both on pretty shaky ground with their emotions. Marlene is a mess with her own, whereas Sirius’s upbringing didn’t exactly encourage openness  WHO IS PHYSICALLY STRONGER?Sirius is absolutely stronger, not that anyone’s complaining.  WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO BREAK A BONE? Marlene has probably broken more than him at this point and brags about it, for whatever reason. WHO KNOWS BEST WHAT TO SAY TO UPSET THE OTHER? They’re two sides of the same coin, similar enough to know exactly how to hurt the other. On the rare occasions they do get into heated arguments, I think they would both end up taking things too far. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST AFTER AN ARGUMENT? With him, Marlene would definitely be the first to apologize. She’s become so used to his presence that she’d be able to go about an hour without speaking to him before caving. WHO TREATS WHO’S WOUNDS MORE OFTEN? Neither. Although they’re constantly getting injured from this or that, they’re both ‘it’s only a scratch’ people. WHO IS IN CONSTANT NEED OF COMFORT? Sirius. Due to everything happening with his family, Marlene probably comforted him quite a bit. WHO GETS MORE JEALOUS? Sirius, although he’d never openly admit it. (Sometimes Marlene, but she wouldn’t recognize it as jealousy or she’d deny it altogether.)WHO’S MOST LIKELY TO WALK OUT ON THE OTHER? Marlene would walk out the second she realizes things are more sirius (get it) than she previously thought, but would immediately regret it. WHO WILL PROPOSE? Sirius would propose, but it would consistently go wrong. He’d be trying for like a year and she would get distracted or he’d lose the ring or something else would get in the way. Then James would propose on his behalf. WHO HAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PARENTS?Sirius - no contest. WHO INITIATES HAND-HOLDING WHEN THEY’RE OUT IN PUBLIC? They seem like less of a hand-holding couple and more of an arm-around-her-shoulders couple. They’re always casually touching - “but we’re not dating”. WHO COMES UP FOR THE OTHER ALL THE TIME? #RideOrDieWHO HOGS THE BLANKETS? Marlene hogs them, so he’s started hiding them from her. (But she always finds them and he comes back to her surrounded by every single blanket.)WHO GETS MORE SAD? Probably Sirius, between the two of them. WHO IS BETTER AT CHEERING THE OTHER UP? In the same way they can easily hurt each other, they can easily cheer the other up. That being said, probably Sirius is better at cheering up Marlene. WHO’S THE ONE THAT PLAYFULLY SLAPS THE OTHER ALL THE TIME AFTER THEY MAKE SILLY JOKES?Interchangeable. Marlene makes a joke about his hair and he fake slaps her, he makes a joke about her ego and she fake slaps him. WHO IS MORE STREETWISE?Sirius. WHO IS MORE WISE?Marlene.WHO’S THE SHYEST? Neither. WHO BOASTS ABOUT THE OTHER MORE?It’d be pretty even. WHO SITS ON WHO’S LAP?Sirius claims that Marlene is so short, he sometimes doesn’t see her and ends up sitting on her. She’s gotten used to it. 

who sits on who’s lap? Both. Once again, physically affectionate. They’d take turns depending on how they’re feeling that day.

In the mornings when he’s fresh out of the Prefect Bathroom he smells like generic men’s shampoo -- that scent that you can’t quite tell exactly what it is but it’s clean and boyish and pleasant. He’s got a small bottle of aftershave balm that he only uses when he’s trying to clean up ( e.g. visiting a cousin’s wedding, going to one of the Slug Parties ) that’s got a hint of green tea and bergamot. His natural scent ( like any other natural scent ) is difficult to describe. It’s more warm in a sense, a bit more musky than normal ( probably something to do with the lycanthropy ) and has a tinge of salt.
