Octavius was a bit taken aback at first when the man addressed him by name. Now, it wouldn't be the first time that someone in this village knew him when he didn't know them but it was still surprising. "Ah, you know Lavender?" he asked with a grin. There was not point in getting angry or even making a big deal of it. After all, how many more times could this happen? Probably alot. At least they were coming out and telling him about it.
