Alessa:All the curse words.

Maverick:You’re telling me you’re not mad?

Alessa:Oh, I am, but I do not know what to do about this. I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done. Children are children, no?

Maverick:I don’t like that she’s being bullied.

Alessa:Neither do I.

Maverick:Rachel was bullied something fierce when she went to school here.

Alessa:Rachel? As in the MC lawyer?

Maverick:Yeah. It was bad. Rex had to step in a lot on her behalf.

Alessa:He is very protective of her, isn’t he?

Maverick:You picked up on that, did you, lol?

Alessa:Jameson! Are you being sarcastic?

Maverick:Ten points to Gryffindor.

Alessa:Grr. You know I’m Hufflepuff.

Maverick:I still don’t see it.

Alessa:I’m not smart enough to be Ravenclaw.

Maverick:I disagree. You were smart enough to marry me, weren’t you? ;)

Alessa:You can’t be a Ravenclaw via wedding ring.

Maverick:I doubly disagree.

Alessa:Why are we talking about Harry Potter? Again?

Maverick:Because Kati made us watch the movies three times this month?

Alessa:She is rather obsessed, isn’t she?

Maverick:Makes sense, doesn’t it? Now I know why she’s hoping for a letter from McGonagall. Anything would be better than going to school here.

Alessa:Even Voldemort?

Maverick:Voldemort’s dead. These little bastards are alive and kicking.

Alessa:She told you they kick her?

Maverick:No. It’s a phrase. And I haven’t spoken to her about this. I don’t want to mess shit up.

Alessa:You wouldn’t. She loves you, Jameson.

Maverick:I’m not sure why. Hell, I don’t know why you love me.

Alessa:Because you’re wonderful?

Maverick:I’m really not.
