Why not?
You're going through with this, then? My dear boy... I can't impress on you just how much I'd prefer to stay quiet. You shouldn't be taking yourself away from your other characters, in all their different, and quite dreadful, situations.
And don't tempt me with crystallized pineapple and the chance to get to know bright, promising young stars! I know quite a lot already, yes, quite a lot, and trying to trick me like that is naive. Dreadfully naive and shamelessly taking advantage of a poor old man just because you've read a book or two where he plays a not-inconsiderable role.
Which I am not proud of and I'll thank you to forget.

Yes, one in the same. I taught Defense Against the Dark Arts '93-'94 school year. I also took Potions with you when I was in school, though I wasn't as good as them as Lily was. We were both Prefects. Do you remember now?
[Yes, and a werewolf, and that's quite bad, he'd agree with that much.]
