Re: Ernie and Theo
Ernie's sincere and deep sympathy was unexpected and Theo wasn't sure it was genuine for a moment. He chewed at his lip a little fretfully for a second before his new friend began making gestures towards getting him another drink.
"I'm okay for a drink, thank you." he said, concerned that Seamus would waste time getting him a drink that wasn't wanted, and that Ernie would spend money on a drink he wouldn't imbibe. "I'm not drinking this one anyway." he tilted his head at his new friend consideringly. "That's very kind of you." he said, but it sounded like he was suspicious as to motive. "And, I'm sorry, but something about you... have we met before?" Of course it could just be from Hogwarts, if this guy had gone, but then a lot of those memories were burned out of his head by now.
