Justin sat at the bar, an ale at hand. He was finally done with his shifts for the week and was ready to enjoy at least a whole day of 'me' time. Not enough to actually get drunk, but just a little time around people before he locked himself up in his flat with nothing else but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a good book. Maybe he'd read that Jane Austen book he had borrowed a while ago.

Ernie tilted his head sympathetically. "Don't worry, mate - if you're a plane, then so am I. You don't think you'd be able to get rid of me that easily, do you?"

He nodded. "Exactly, and it's like that for some of the patients too. Life can be very disorganized, and having the structure helps some of them recover. And you never know, you might like it, at least for a change of pace like you said. Plus, we get visits from Neville, so that's nice too. Though if you were to work in just one place, where would you go?"

"You'd be my bloody pilot, is what you'd be mate." He told Ernie with a chuckled.

"Hmm, I think everyone needs this once in a while. Maybe you'd like a week in the emergency room, it's gets hectic at times." He smiled and bit his lower lip. "Just one place.." he repeated. "I'd be in the emergency room forever. It is the first line, we're the first to meet patients, assess their state and injury. Sometimes it's nothing big, but other times we get this rush.. And once in a while there will be something terrible with a great ending. We see a bit of everything." It wasn't all bad in there. Nor was it always easy and smooth. "What about you? You'd stay in the ward if you could leave?"

Airplanes, in Ernie's mind, were much like cars and other vehicles, and he tended to mix up terms and descriptions because, for the most part, it was all theoretical knowledge to him rather than something he saw everyday - but at least he tried. One thought stuck in his mind and he did his best to keep a straight face as he spoke it aloud. "You know, Justin, if you wanted my hand controlling your stick shift gear thing, all you had to do was ask."

Ernie shrugged. He nodded as Justin spoke - he'd done some time in other units during his training and he admired his friend for being able to keep up with the quick pace. "I'm happy for now, but I might want to change in a year or two. It depends on what my life is like. Janus Thickey is actually great if you want to start a family, but the way my love life is going, that won't be happening anytime soon. So if I had to go somehwere else, maybe poisons. That was a good training time I did there."

Justin threw his hands up in the air "Finally, he figured it out." he exclaimed, though it wasn't really heard by anyone else since there was music in the pub. "Was about time." Of course he kept a straight face all along making Ernie believe that he had been trying to get his friend in his trousers all along.

"Ooh, poisons sounds really interesting." He admitted, nodded slowly.

"Well, you made it so obvious," Ernie joked back. "And we both know I'm a catch. You'd be lucky to have me. Unfortunately, my heart belongs to one person and one only - and some day Professor Lockhart will get better and sweep me away from all this." At this, Ernie did completely lose it and nearly bent over in laughter.

Ernie took another sip of his drink before explaining further. "It really is. I don't get to use my potions knowledge much in JT, but it would be in constant use down in poisons. It's actually fun to work with them when Snape isn't breathing down our necks. Kind of like bartending, maybe - which means if the healer thing doesn't work out, I can always work for Seamus."

And speaking of which. "It was nice to have fun and dance last weekend. We don't do that enough, I think, what with work and other things. And not many people around here know how to cha-cha like you."

Justin gagged and shook his head. "Lockhart?" Surely Ernie knew by now that the wizard was a fake. "He's not even good looking. You'd be better off with me."

"I considered take the NEWT class in Potions once.." He had not been good enough for Professor Snape and even if he hadn't liked him, he surely had not deserved to die. "But I gave up. Settled for the easy way."

"But yeah, it was definitely amazing." He straightened proudly at Ernie's compliment. "I like the cha-cha."

"Hey, that's the love of my life you're talking about, and he had brilliant hair." He then pretended to look at Justin with a considerign eye. "But maybe you're right. Oh, take me home and ravish me, you sexy Muggleborn you."

Ernie nodded. "I remember that. Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible for some people to go back and redo their potions education. It should be an option, if you ask me. I'm sure more people would love it with someone else teaching it, and doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?"

Ernie grinned. "Of course, and you're brilliant at it. You wouldn't be my mate otherwise."
