Re: In Hogsmeade...
"I doubt they'll send Potter. He's barely started proper training." Adrian took a bisquit but didn't take a bite at once. "I hardly know any ... half-bloods or muggleborns, personally." He had very nearly said mudbloods, and he doubted Lestrange would've minded it. But as an Auror, he had to uphold a certain reputation, and using crude words like that was not part of that.
"And those I do know are less than appealing to me in this matter." And where the hell would he find the time and even the inclination to actually get to know any of those oh so suddenly genetically valuable half-bloods and muggleborns? Adrian's jaws clenched slightly before he could control it, and instead of saying more he took a bite of the bisquit. It was too easy to slip into an unprofessional attitude and Adrian realised he needed to work very much on that. Normally, it was no problem. But normally while working he wasn't sitting around in a comfortable chair, pleasantly discussing different subjects while having tea and bisquits.
