George worked too hard? That was a laugh. Adrian would hardly call what the other man did work and he would have snorted openly at the implication. Not that he'd be surprised. He'd always see most of the Weasleys as lazy, arrogant pricks.
He groaned inwardly at the sound of that voice. That irritating voice that obviously belonged to one of the twins, not that he could tell them apart. It wasn't like he cared which he was talking to, though. He knew they were friends with Ali, which gave him reason to at least attempt to be civil, but there was a vast difference between civility and really giving a shit which one of them was addressing him now.
"Abandoned?" He raised an eyebrow. Of course that was the Weasley assessment of the situation. They appeared to carry just as much prejudice toward him as he did them. It couldn't be further from what had happened, but he was fairly certain that didn't matter to the redhead. Normally he'd settle for ignoring, but he doubted that would actually work. Polite conversation, at least, then, until Ali returned.
"I'd call that a radical interpretation of the text," he added, what could pass for a friendly smile on his face even as he rolled his eyes.
