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.
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.
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.
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.

Or don't. I already know.

You do? Sound pretty damn sure of yourself there.
no subject
I do. Very sure, Michael. You're cute together.
no subject
Cute? Isn't that how you'd describe puppies or something?

Do you know what puppies are?
So I've your approval this time around? Not that I need it, mind. Sometimes we surprise ourselves.

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.
no subject
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.
no subject
Not so sure on that. I reckon a test in order.
Because it's the truth.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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.

As long as some
onething appreciated it.You really don't understand the mind of a Slytherin, do you.
no subject
It's appreciated nightly.
You mean to say that Slytherins aren't a frustrated lot?
