jumping on the bond-wagon.

[He looks contemplative, gazing upwards.]

I can think of ... six, seven ... ... no, nine ways to hack this site already. Appalling security.

[And then it's back down to the laptop, typing away rapidly.

Beat.

He looks up.]

Oh, you're still - right, I suppose you're sticking around. Well, I hope you know what you're doing; there's a lot of work to be done.

[probably spoilers for skyfall in the comments; tread carefully!]

Comments

[alphaophiuchi]

[huff.]

Well, yes, that much is obvious. Also because you're terrible at explaining things. If you were good at it, I'd understand it.

[newschool]

Do you even know what science is?

[alphaophiuchi]

Of....course I do. I'm not an idiot, you know.

[newschool]

All right. I'm listening.

[alphaophiuchi]

To what, the delightful sound of my voice?

[yes, this is him avoiding talking about science.]

[newschool]

I was hoping you'd enlighten me about science.

[alphaophiuchi]

Why would I enlighten you about science when you've already made it abundantly clear that you know everything there is to know? I'm not setting myself up for failure.

[newschool]

I know that wizards don't know anything about science. It's in the books.

[alphaophiuchi]

Are you always this much of a prick?

[newschool]

Yes, generally.

And I know you are, too.

[8D]

[alphaophiuchi]

You don't even know me!

[newschool]

Well, no, not personally, but it's all in the books. You can be rather a little shit, you know.

[alphaophiuchi]

I-

Excuse me?

[newschool]

Did I speak too quickly?

[alphaophiuchi]

No. You're not allowed to pass judgement on me based on a book. A book that probably isn't even right, thank you.

[newschool]

Are you sure? It seems pretty spot-on to me so far.

[alphaophiuchi]

[sputter.] No! I mean, yes - I'm sure. Absolutely sure!

[newschool]

Well, I'm convinced. There's no argument to that.

[alphaophiuchi]

Don't be a wanker.

[newschool]

As you're the expert, I'll defer to your opinion on that.

[alphaophiuchi]

Wh-

I'm not the expert on being a wanker.

[newschool]

Oh, I think you'll find you are.

[alphaophiuchi]

I think I'll find nothing of the sort! You can't tell me about myself!

[newschool]

No, but I can, look -

[He pulls out his mobile and taps it, pulling up his e-reader, then his copy of Prisoner of Azkaban, tapping the screen to find the bit where Draco is using his injury to get Hagrid fired. He holds out the mobile to Draco.]

See? You're a right wanker.

[alphaophiuchi]

[...........]

Wh-

What the hell?
