Gian had had a pretty solid plan - leave work early, go to the bank, manage to miss all the queues. It had not worked out. Evidently, everyone else had also had that plan, because he was stuck in a queue. Not even a short queue, a queue that looked like it might go on forever. Gian needed to bank stuff, though, so he didn't have much of a choice than to wait. A woman in front of him was having a very in-depth conversation with her puffskein (which she had hidden terribly in her hand bag), so Gian turned to the person behind him.
It took him a moment to recognise Nico Vaisey, but Gian did. There were about three things Gian knew about Nico - that he spoke Italian, that he played professional quidditch and that Gian had fucked his ex-wife. That seemed like enough to start a conversation, frankly. Gian only really got to speak Italian when he visited his mum or grandparents. Sometimes he spoke it with his sisters, but they often opted for English - or code switching, which Gian's mum hated.
"The woman in front of me has a puffskein in her bag that she's currently discussing recipes for a paella with, as far as I can tell the puffskein hasn't yet answered, but I thought I'll try my chances for a conversation with you instead," Gian said in fluent Italian. "I'm Gian, I think we were in school together but a few years apart?" Oh, maybe he knew four things about Nico.
