"Have you talked to him about it since?" he asked, knowing Terry and Stephen saw each other in school and whatnot. "I can threaten him if you want?"
He cursed as gravy nearly spilled onto his robe, ever the pitfall of balancing his plate on his lap but he didn't want to move to the table to eat. "You know we're doing something for Valentine's Day, right? Don't make any plans because as soon as we've shown up at that bloody Auror party for half an hour, we're out of Hogsmeade," he explained.
He ate a last forkful of mashed potato before putting the empty plate down onto the coffee table and straddled Stephen's lap so he could be closer to him, smiling. "I might be able to get a few days off, haven't taken any holiday yet for 2006 after all."
