no icons we ride like men

[reparo]

Oh, bollocks. No. And I am not taking further questions, thank you!

[malfoi]

No, no, I've got some necessary followups. Intellectual curiosity demands it. Why divorced, rather than just single?

[reparo]

[whenever she'll be sober again, she will realise she is 1. never drinking again and 2. blaming harry for this]

Single men haven't dealt with disappointment and therefore not prepared to deal with the disappointment of my rejection.

Case in point, I did say no follow-ups. Malfoy, good day.

[malfoi]

'Good evening' is probably more appropriate, timing considered.

What are you drinking? Any recommendations? I think there's a scotch around here somewhere I could break open.

[ it's late as hell and he should probably stop needling her, like prodding a lion — ha — with a chair, but he's far too entertained by this. what the hell else is he doing with his night, anyway? might as well have a nightcap and keep trolling. ]

[reparo]

I don't know if I should be feeling flattered or insulted that it's that easy to tell I've got a buzz going.

Evening, Malfoy.

And also to answer your question, it's a muggle cocktail, called an Old Fashioned. It does use whiskey.

[malfoi]

Your writing's still faultless as ever, but I assumed there'd be no other way this text wound up somewhere it shouldn't be. This number was supposed to be for work queries only, Granger.

Whiskey and what? I imagine I could reproduce it with firewhiskey.

[reparo]

Flattered then?

I thought I was sending it elsewhere, so apologies for that. Please Obliviate the initial message out of your head, much appreciated, Granger H. etc.

(P.S. Old Fashioned:
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 dashes Angostura bitters (bitterness at society at large might work as a substitute)
1 teaspoon water
2 ounces bourbon
Garnish: orange peel)

[malfoi]

If you consider essential literacy a piece of flattery, then certainly. And I'll take the request under advisement-- although departmental protocols do have something to say against self-Obliviation. Rather against the regulations. Thought you were all about those.



PS: Good thing I've a vial of bottled bitterness on hand, then. This tastes alright. Slightly herbal, slightly bitter.

[reparo]

Ah, I am of course all for the regulations and the rules as long as they serve a purpose. And if the purpose is my future mortification, I say let's get rid of them.

I can't believe you're drinking a muggle cocktail now. Maybe I should introduce you to the Cosmo.

[malfoi]

Alcohol is alcohol, Granger. The Muggles can't call ownership on a basic cocktail recipe. And besides, it's improved with the firewhiskey.

What's in a Cosmo?

[reparo]

It starts with vodka, which I am fairly sure muggles can call ownership of.

[malfoi]

Most terrible/ill-advised evenings start with vodka.
