I just loved this little exchange: “The Minister kept you waiting,” Kingsley turned to Hermione. “How long?”
“Nearly two hours,” she answered. “I was furious, but Ron and Harry just kept eating the snacks Scrimgeour’s secretary brought out.
“They were cakes!” Ron defended himself. “Nice little chocolate ones with cream!”
“Don’t forget the tea, Ron,” Harry added. “Fresh mint tea with honey. For a rude bastard, he serves good snacks.”
It made me laugh histerically. And this one was great too: Tonks burst out laughing. “I’m so relieved you ended that sentence with footstool! Cup of tea?” She stood up and walked to the door.
“Yeah, that would be great. What do you mean relieved?” Draco followed her. “Oh …” His brain also followed her. “Oh! Nymphadora Tonks your mother would be appalled!”
“Eh, she’s a Muggle-lover, like you care what she thinks.”
“You are a bad influence.” They traipsed down the stairs.
