Re: James/Neville
"Thanks. I'll speak to Regulus, see what he needs for his potions, and then we go from there," he said, and then shrugged when Neville when on. "I don't mind. I mean this family tends to be loud, and it's not everyone's cup of tea. Al doesn't like it either, I wouldn't want people to think less of him because of that." He didn't think people should think less of uncle Percy either. He was just different.
"I can see why he wouldn't have liked it. He'll make a good Headmaster, but I doubt he'd ever be a good teacher." No, Severus was good to teach very specialised subjects to very few people. However the comment about Al had him smiling again. "Yeah, he's helping."
James snorted. "I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to be. I'd never spoil Toby, not when there's no father in the picture and Allison has to deal with the fact that she has no magic in a magical world. No, she doesn't need me to spoil him."
He nodded. "Then we'll be there, unless I have a date with a maniac that day. One never knows."
