That's an obvious answer: Unicorns.

I can't believe you even wasted an IO with that pathetic question.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Well you answered that pathetic IO.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

I had to point out how pathetic it was!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Likely story! Want to try again?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You're right. Forgive me. It's your charm that I just can't resist. It works every time.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Can't blame you there. Countless witches have fallen prey to it.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. Is there someone in particular you're applying these charms toward?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Would that be like fairy-baiting?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Just answer the question.

Or don't. I already know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

We aren't demanding at all, are we?

You do? Sound pretty damn sure of yourself there.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

No more than usual. Don't act surprised because I know you aren't.

I do. Very sure, Michael. You're cute together.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Damn. Another ruddy talent that needs work.

Cute? Isn't that how you'd describe puppies or something?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Yes, we'll line up some lessons, I think.

I don't often - or ever - describe puppies.
You look pleased and so does she. Is it my fault that you look cute together? Would you rather I say you make a lovely couple? That implies a great deal and I'm not sure if you're ready for that yet.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Bugger. There goes my summer.

Do you know what puppies are?

So I've your approval this time around? Not that I need it, mind. Sometimes we surprise ourselves.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You'll thank me later.

Of course I know what puppies are. They're furry and have tails.

Of course you need my approval. You'd ask for it eventually, so your snark is unnecessary. But yes, you do have my approval this time around. She's more well-suited, I think, to keep you in line.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

According to you, it seems I'll be doing that often in the future.

Had to check, as your creature knowledge in the past has been less than stellar.

Admit it. If I was kept in line, you'd miss it.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

And why wouldn't you be?

Just because I've never held a puppy or otherwise been in the same room with one doesn't mean I couldn't recognise it should I see one.

I'm not admitting anything.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Right. I'll start on the thank-you cards straight away.

Not so sure on that. I reckon a test in order.

Because it's the truth.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Do I have to keep them?

A test...? Wait, are you saying you're taking a puppy to Bayhall??

I'm not afraid to admit it, Michael. We're friends for a reason, surely.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

After being thoughtful and all that rot, you wouldn't?

Are you denying my boyhood dreams and telling me I can't?

Which is precisely why you should have admitted it straight from the off.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

I doubt I'll ever see even one thank you note so I'm not terribly worried.

Your boyhood dreams included a puppy? I thought your boyhood dreams were taken care of with that birthday present I got you.

I'm trying to help Padma keep your head from swelling. It's a difficult task. Admitting it would have reversed all my work to this point.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

So long as you're not expecting them. Wouldn't want to give you reason to start up on the ruddy awful habit of expectations.

And a fine birthday present it was. But no. That would be more my knobhood daydream.

All your work? Right. But by not admitting it, it worked just the same as it would have if you had admitted it. Must be bloody frustrating to know all your hard work is for naught.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

I do have a few expectations of you, but Thank You notes aren't in that group, actually.

As long as someonething appreciated it.

You really don't understand the mind of a Slytherin, do you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Should I be worried?

It's appreciated nightly.

You mean to say that Slytherins aren't a frustrated lot?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I'll let you know if/when you drop below expectation.

You must have quite a talent with silencing charms...?

I mean to say that you may not think it's working, but you just don't understand the methods I employ. It's fine really. Makes it much easier to deal with when someone is ignorant of our ways, which most people are since they never bother to find out.
