They make you use candles? Even my family conveniently ignored that a Muggle invented the light bulb.
Anyway, I can see how that might be disconcerting, kiddo, but even if Mrs Brown keeps scheming, there's no law that says you have to consent to a match they propose. Particularly as you're over fifteen. (In fact, at least it used to be that for witches, marriageable consent was fourteen, though usually that was with the agreement of one's parents. I've no idea if they've bothered to change that. But assuming they haven't, you can't be forced into a marriage you don't want.)
Besides, even if they intended to drag you to the altar, you know you can just leave and come to Doughty or to Mrs Weasley and we'd make sure it couldn't happen.
Still, it's yet more evidence that Teddy Nott was a menace and it's just as well he's gone.
