"I'm talking further down the line, in fact I'm just talking. Don't expect me to make sense," he said with a small smile, pinching Stephen's side. "No pissing on my optimism yet. I suppose it would be bad form to use a Confundus if I get an interview and tell him that he just gave me the job, right?"
Adrian brightened up at this remark. "Really? I... It's weird. I've never considered life without the Ministry. What... Would I have other laws and things to abide to though?" he asked. "There's nothing about not doing magic, right? I don't know how much they pay either but at least I'd be doing something I like versus something that pays. I'm sure... It has to pay all right or people wouldn't fight for the jobs."
He smiled and shook his head. "I don't care if I only take you out for a burger," He kissed him. "I just want to treat you for once."
