"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Well that."
"That's an Auror."
"I can see that, Nott."
"There you have it, then."
"Well?"
"Ladies first, Darcy."
"Piss off. It's your assignment. He gave it to you-"
"-and told me to take someone with me-"
"Shit."
"-who, it turns out, is you. Hop to it."
"Shit. No… shit."
"If you don't, I'll tell Him you refused-"
"If I might interrupt?"
"Merlin's arse, Nott. You mean to tell me that you didn't Silencio the Auror scum?"
"It's Kingsley, actually, and there's no need to wave your wands around that close to my face."
"Shit."
"That's what I've been saying."
"What precisely do you intend to do with me in this… Where are we, anyway?"
"We're not that dim."
"Well, you are the one who forgot to Stupefy him."
"Shut it, Darcy. It wore off. And as for you, I should think that's obvious."
"I dare say it isn't. There is any number of things a Death Eater could do with captured Auror. Wait, you are Death Eaters, are you not?"
"I told you we shouldn't have taken off the hats."
"I hate those hats, and we're supposed to torture you."
"Supposed to?"
"Yes. For the location of your new headquarters."
"You know it's under Fidelis, Nott."
"You'd need the secret keeper for that."
"Thank you, idiots. I don't need you to tell me that. I tried to explain that to Him and was limping for days afterward."
"Torturing me would be pointless."
"Do I look happy about it? There are any number of things I would rather be doing, to tell the truth."
"So you're going to make me do it?"
"That was the idea."
"Shit, no. Shit. Why do I always get stuck doing this shit?"
"If I may make a suggestion?"
"No. Stupefy! It's because you never say no when we invite you out."
"Fuck. You didn't say it was… Why didn't you take Avery? He's always good for a spot of violence."
"I owe him money."
"…"
"Don't be like that. It won't take long to make a show of it."
"You shit. You're worse than Rookwood, you are."
"It was a Knut toss, him or I, who groveled first about the cock up at St. Mungo's. I lost, so here I am."
"What'd Old Snape say?"
"He didn't say anything. He just sat there and smirked, the git."
"You kill one old wizard and suddenly…"
"I know, I know. We all know. Still, better him than Bellatrix…"
"Don't even say it!"
"You bloody well weren't there to see the time she…"
"Stop! There aren't sodding enough scouring charms in the world to get rid of that image."
"Right, well, let's get it over with."
"Shouldn't you Enervate him?"
"What's the point? He's not going to say anything useful."
"Blimey, Nott. Look, I'm not doing this alone, so belt up and do it with me."
"Fine. On three. One… two…"
"Three. Crucio!"
