Padfoot

Ha! Bloody hell. I dare ya to make that face next time you try to pick up a bird, see how it works for you.

Yeah? And when I score a date pulling that face what do I win?

…Ha - always lookin’ out for ya, mate.

Wouldn't expect anything less from ya. ...You wanna go get a drink?

…Look, I just - like, I said, it’s easier this way, alright?

Moony.... Fine. Have it your way, mate. The last thing I need is more of ya getting girlfriends I have to like. Just starting to get used to Evans being underfoot.

What? …It’s - look, I just - it’s not like I’m pining over her or anything, mate. She’s a good bird, but - there’s no point. What if it went well, then she’d just get her hopes up. It’s just easier this way.

No one said you were. What if it did go well? You'd go out again. No one's saying marry this bird.

Wha - …I dunno. She’s cute. Real nice. And she’s a damn good witch. But - look, it doesn’t matter, mate. She’ll find another bloke she’s interested in.

Damn, Moony. ...Why doesn't it matter? Mate, what harm could going on a date do?

…Yeah, I guess so.

So you like her then?

…What do you mean, how come?

What? It is possible you might turn a bird down cause she's not your type. Maybe.

…Yeah. Uh….yeah.

How come?

Wha - bloody hell. I….last time we were out on a mission she uh….she sorta asked me out.

....She what? Really? Bloody hell. You turned her down then?

What? Oh I - uh…yeah, ‘course, mate.

Right. ...So what was all that about?

…Ha - yeah, maybe he is. …Oh - um…no, thanks.

...Right. ...I uh....guess I'll see ya around then.

….Yeah. Even Moody, and that’s really saying something.

....Yeah, it is. Think Moody's getting soft though, he seems to like Abbott too. ....Do you need anything?

….Okay. …I’m glad you didn’t.

...Pretty sure everyone liked him.

….Yeah. …I thought you didn’t like him.

....What? I... Just cause I didn't wanna hang out with the bloke doesn't mean I didn't think he was a good bloke.
