"So..." Frodo said uncertainly, breaking the silence.
"Yeah..." Harry replied, playing with the salt shaker. They were both sitting across from each other at a table in a random Muggle restaurant, nothing too fancy.
"Have any hobbies?" Frodo asked awkwardly, trying to make conversation.
"I like to play Quidditch a lot," Harry said after a moment.
"What's Quidditch?"
"It's, er... a sport. For wizards."
"Ah." Frodo quickly shook away all the strange mental images he was getting of Gandalf and Saruman.
"Do you have any hobbies?" Harry asked Frodo in turn.
"Well, I like to eat, drink, and smoke a lot."
Harry looked at Frodo rather oddly before speaking again.
"Er, you said you had a friend that was a wizard...?"
"Oh, yes. His name--well, one of them, anyway--is Gandalf. He's helping me out with the whole Quest to destroy the One Ring."
"One Ring?"
"It's the powerful ring that used to belong to the Dark Lord Sauron," Frodo explained. "Everything thinks it's Evil, but I think it's just misunderstood."
"Really? I have to deal with a Dark Lord too. His name's Voldemort."
"That's... neat."
"Yeah..."
--later at Frodo's--
"Listen here, Ring! No more setting me up on blind dates. I mean it!"
Ring: "..."
"I know you like that Harry Potter bloke, but... Honestly. And why have you only been setting me up with guys? You do know I'm straight, right?"
Ring: "..."
"Ring?"
". . ."
