Jam
"You do realize how many jars of jam are in the cupboard, right?" asked Remus incredulously.
"Exactly one-hundred and sixty-two," replied Tonks, eyeing her toast carefully, making sure it was perfect.
"Why in the world would you need one-hundred jars of jam?"
"I like variety. And then I need a back-up jar of each kind just in case it suits my fancy more than the others," replied Tonks as if it were obvious.
"It takes up a whole cupboard!"
"Was there something else you wanted this cupboard for?"
"Well…no, but…" started Remus.
"Look, do I bother you about your stash of chocolate?" asked Tonks testily.
"No," said Remus, "but that's different!"
"Pray tell, how?"
"It…it just is."
"Right, even though it fills up a whole drawer that could be used for more jam?"
"But, that's just ridiculous!"
"No, Mr. Lupin, what is ridiculous is that you don't even bother to alphabetize your chocolate by type!"
"Alphabetize my chocolate?" asked Remus, bewildered.
"Alphabetize. Goodness, how did you ever become a professor?" said Tonks, shaking her head.
"Stunning good looks?" joked Remus.
Tonks just shook her head. "Have some toast," she said, shoving a piece into his mouth.
"Blackberry?" asked Remus after a moment of sputtering.
"For Merlin's sake, Remus! You never eat from the B's on the second Sunday of the month! Its loganberry!"
