"Is it?" Charlie asked arching an eyebrow when Scorpius seemed to think the conversation had come to a close. "Because from what I've seen today and the owl I got from Jamie earlier seems to suggest that you can't handle it. Now I need to know if you can do this job without constantly thinking about that boyfriend of yours.

"But when you start letting your personal life affect your work after I've given you a chance to do something different, that's when those things people say about you start being true. So really think about it before you make up your mind."
