"That's true," Fred said, smacking George on the arm as they walked and shrugging. "He could be teaching Ancient Runes or something, and then we'd have to disown him. At least with Magical Creatures we can pretend he's still just messing about with dragons and the like, so he's almost still as wicked cool as he was a few years ago."
Fred grinned at Charlie though, as he said it, to show he didn't quite mean it - not entirely at least - and a second later he threw an arm around Charlie's shoulders, letting George tap bricks and the like to get them out of Diagon Alley. Moving through The Leaky Cauldron, he could almost see Tom's face falling when they headed out to the muggle side instead of taking up their usual chairs.
