"Everyone needs a hobby Severus," Rus tells him primly. "Only an hour?" he asks, dismayed. "Well then I guess I'd best do them one at a time then, so as not to waste anything."
He shakes his head. "It's his money," Rus reminds them. He looks closely at Severus to see if his eyes have started to cross yet.
The barman (whom I will call Alf) nods obsequiously. "Thankyousir. That it is." He glances around furtively. "Can I let you gentlemen in on a little secret."
"There's nothing like the real thing," he agrees sagely with a no, you really don't glance. "That wasn't necessary Severus," Rus says in a voice full of Reproach and Hurt. "That was just a little twist I learned playing knucklebones with Avery. No magic in it at all."
OOH! Another experiment! Will definitely be buying Unseen Academicals though!! *nods* Thanks. *pats* And that's a shame. :D
