Summary: Queenie wishes Jacob would put her before the law. A double drabble.

Queenie fingered the wand between her slender hands, chewing over the decision. It was only a little enchantment, she told herself. It wasn't one of those ridiculous love potions, or an unforgivable curse. She just needed Jacob to come with her. Once they were in London, things would be better. Then they could get married and no one would have a problem with it. Well, except maybe for Tina.

Why couldn't Queenie's sister understand how stupid these laws were? What difference did it make if she fell in love with a No Maj? Jacob couldn't cause any trouble with spells, and he wasn't going to go around blabbing about wizards and magic to people he met on the street. What was the harm in marrying a No Maj?

As soon as Jacob was through the door she could hear his thoughts. "She's still down 'cause we ain't going to be able to get married. Don't she understand how dangerous it is for her to break the law?"

Jacob's thoughts incensed her. "I'm gonna marry you, you dumb lump! I don't care what the law says!" As soon as his back was turned, she gripped her wand and cast the spell.
