Eddie carried her groceries with pride as they walked, although as they exited the store he didn't forget to turn around briefly and say goodbye to Delaney. It was just good gentlemanship, he thought to himself, then wondered if that was even a word. Eddie turned his attention back to Maisie. He would scarcely admit it out loud but he still didn't remember meeting her during his years at Hogwarts. Then again, maybe he had; it had been years since he'd seen anyone from that school--which was mostly intentional on his part--and maybe all the people he'd come to know in the Muggle world had just taken over that part of his memory, kind of like when you know one language but then you learn another and it starts replacing the first one bit by bit until you only remember the basics.
"The lady speaks the truth," Eddie grinned. It was about the time of day when most people were heading home and starting dinner, so the sidewalks were not very crowded. "So, school together, eh Maisie? It's been a while since I've seen anyone from there. Did they.. get everything back in order, then?" He might not have been involved with the Wizarding world since after his graduation the year before the war broke out, but he still cared about the school and how it was running. He had had some great years there and, as a whole, looked back fondly on his Hogwarts time.
