Gideon laughed. "Fanged bitch? now that sounds intriguing. I don't get to hang out with many people besides my sister and her Weasleys. Fangs might spice things up a little. You know. I'll have a Bloody Mary, you have Mary's blood?" He winked to remind her he was teasing, gently at that, and patted her wrist once more.
"Date? No. She was Frank's girl. We were in the Order together, though. Got to be pretty good friends, I think." He poked around in his stew, then gave her a sideways glance. "I crushed on her pretty hard, though. Teased her one night about her waddle, and she chased me out of the greenhouse with a pair of shears, threatening to castrate me. I was pretty sure she'd do it, too."
