Interesting statement from Granger, considering in recent outings into Diagon Alley, Malfoy has been seen exclusively with a phantom python around his shoulders. To carry a snake as such is an old practice amongst betrothed wizards, particularly same-sex couples as a mark of marriage, since such a union is not yet recognized by the Ministry. The legalisation of same-sex unions is a topic long debated amongst the Ministry; do we reflect our own cultures in our laws, or match the Muggle legislature to keep our heads down?
