"In Court?" Niki sounded surprised, as if he couldn't think of a reason why the Weasley twins would ever end up in court. Why, he couldn't imagine it! Of course in his mind, all the things that Fred and George (he could never tell them apart, not even a teeny bit) did were just amusing.
Niki liked asking questions. He did have a remarkable curiosity about the world. Especially when it came to things that other people didn't think of often. He was definitely of the 'why is a raven like a writing desk?' sort. In fact, that was a question he had pondered to some extent, before concluding that they weren't, because ravens were awesome, and writing desks were just furniture. Unless transfiguration was involved.
Oh. There was a thought.
"Well," he replied, thinking through his own question now. "I don't have one?" That was a very good reason for wanting a job! He frowned a little bit. "People think bad things about me." He knew that. He didn't care, for the most part. Strangers, people he didn't know, he didn't care what they thought of him. But there were a few people he did care. Like Braxton.
"I want to show them. That I'm not useless." He might have been mad, but that didn't mean he was stupid!
