Verity gave him a jokingly sympathetic nod. "Crying shame, darling," she told him. "Some people just have it so hard..."
Her jaw dropped and she laughed when he made the Slytherin comment. "Well, I'd ask if you hold my house against me but it seems that's clear already, hm?" she laughed and winked back.
Verity looked at the man again and back to George after the light punch. "Someone you know?" she asked. After another look she thought he was vaguely familiar but couldn't quite place him.
"Oh! I did, I forgot. Hmm... when did you first have sex?" she asked him, taking another drink of whiskey as though it were water.
