Re: Dennis and Genie and Open
Dennis nodded sadly. "Indeed, tea is just so important to me. Although America was surprisingly alright? Nobody threw me in Boston Harbour which was a nice surprise." He frowned and shook his head. "Nah, hurting people sucks. The impression of savagery can be found in the injustice that murdered my brother, and so many others during the war. I'm much happier being seen as weak if it means I don't bring people unecessary pain and suffering." He flashed her a grin and waggled his eyebrows. "Even if it means not hurting my ex."
"Oh wow, that would suck royally," he replied sympathetically. "I don't know how I'd get around without it." He lifted his eyebrows quizzically. "Is this Brighid a certified apparition instructor, because that may be the reason why she can't teach it very well. Have you considered going into the MoM for training?" He tilted his head and considered. "Can't say I really know, so I'll take your word for it. I mean I know joining the floo network can be a hassle..."
"I guess," he hazarded, amused in spite of himself at the way she phrased things. "My brother and sisters? Yeah they're all still at Hogwarts. Pip's in her seventh year actually, and the other two are a few years below."
He sat back and observed her mulling the idea over. "I could send you an owl with the information if you'd like," he asked, smiling at her encouragingly. "I know one of the girls is off to the States to do a story on North American-European Wizarding relations, and I'm off to do a story about comparative treatment of werwolves in the Caribbean. Apparently they get a far better deal there, as they should."
