Re: Jacob/Patrick
"So am I, but I wear jeans and kiss men in public. You look at me like I've got three eyes and antennas," he answered, laughing. He looked around. "I like the lights. We have them at Eros, been there for ages. They can do amazing visual effects when done right."
He chuckled. "Because you are. You never lied to me, you never hurt me, you were upfront. That's a good, honest person. I'm not sure why I'd think differently." Patrick thought it over. As much as he liked Jacob, he hadn't survived in the ministry without understanding politics. "You think that once the clean up is done, people will complain. Get close to the Gryffindors. No one close to them can be evil. Talk to Potter, a few pictures together will help your case even if you're just asking him the time. People won't know."
He chuckled. "Not exactly for the same reasons, but for once we agree."
