"Mom" he said, one of the only people to ignore her dismissals; he was sure it must sometimes suck to have headstrong kids, "you're gonna have an awesome time. You don't need me there to have that, you know you don't" he cajoled her. He did love his mom and he didn't like upsetting her, even when it was something like this. Plus he needed her to be in a good mood if he was going to suggest that he and Pansy should get their own place, closer to school, anytime soon.
