"Potter."
"Huh?"
"You know, you're a bit nicer this year than last."
"Pleased you noticed something good about me."
"I didn't say it was good. Just better."
"Well, that's a start."
"To what?"
"Well… you know for Merlin's sake."
"Oh puh-leez. A start to a relationship? Not a chance."
"You have many a trick up your sleeve to break a boy's heart."
"You haven't given up yet though, I noticed, unfortunately."
"Yep."
"Maybe if you continue to deflate your rather large ego, I might consider talking to you more often."
"That's good to know."
"It also might be useful to note that I think your hair doesn't look as stupid this year."
"I will keep that in mind. Less stupid hair. Check."
"Okay then."
"Okay."
