[reparo]

Wrong choices on behalf of my former professors, really. I was an exemplary student.
Only set one professor's robes on fire on purpuse once.

[gadabouts]

The asshole professor, right?

[reparo]

Yes, good, you remember his name.

[gadabouts]

Hard to forget stories like him.

Where were you thinking of finding a greenhouse?

[reparo]

Some sprawling manor at the top of a hill, or one of those posh parties you're invited to. The last one we went to, I spotted a greenhouse. I think the host mentioned a collection of exotic orchids or whatever.

[gadabouts]

Need I remind you that I usually need to make an appearance at these parties that isn't with my pants down?

1/2

[reparo]

You needn't, you remind me every time.

[reparo]

But you do also happen to drag me to the darker corners first, Barty, so methinks the archeologist doth protest.

[gadabouts]

Ah, but I'll keep my word.

[reparo]

What's the point of a greenhouse if it's not for a tryst during a private event?

[gadabouts]

Growing plants?

Don't ask me, I'm not herbologist.

[reparo]

I could ask Neville, but no - that doesn't sound right. Damp, dark places where the music and the noise of a high society party is dim enough for every heated breath to be louder?
The plants are collateral.

[gadabouts]

Not to mention the possibility of leaving evidence.
Fogging up the glass.
Smudging it.

[reparo]

That part is my favourite. That and the conveniently tall work tables.

[gadabouts]

I hadn't thought about those.
It's almost like they're planning for it.

[reparo]

Thus proving my point that greenhouse owners are perverts.

[gadabouts]

Does that include your friend?

[reparo]

I have no doubt. It's the quiet ones.

[gadabouts]

Not that you know anything about being quiet.

[reparo]

I could try.

[gadabouts]

Not in the greenhouse, you won't.

[reparo]

Is that a challenge or an order?

[gadabouts]

Which one would work better?

[reparo]

They would both work, but the execution might be different depending on which it is.

[gadabouts]

Let's call it a challenge, for now.
