Panic Problems
"Could you be any more annoying?"
"Possibly. I can't help it."
"You're being stupid. You need to calm down."
"What if they don't like me? What if they hate me? Oh Merlin, I'm going to be sick. This was a stupid idea. Why did I let you talk me into such a stupid, stupid idea?"
"You really need to calm down. They're kids, Draco. You don't need to be afraid of kids. You already know Ryan, he'll be more than happy to introduce you to his friends."
"But…it's Weasley and Granger's kid. I'm…Harry, I don't need to know how to deal with kids."
"You said you did. You said you wanted to know how to handle kids. I was surprised, to be honest."
"I changed my mind. I…I might break one! Oh…no…no, I'm going to break someone's kid and they are going to hate me and…and…"
"Quit panicking. And stop pacing, you're making me sick."
"I can't."
"Draco, I'm not sure that it's possible to break a kid. I've never seen it done."
"Of course you haven't seen it; they don't just walk around breaking kids in public. No, it's possible. I saw it on the news."
"You don't know what the news is."
"Do too! You forget that you left me all alone for an extended period of time. I watched the news! I am up to date on the nation's current events."
"There is no way that you heard a report saying that someone broke their baby. You don't 'break' a baby."
"I didn't say baby. I said kid."
"Same. Thing."
"No it isn't, now hush, I'm panicking."
"And you need silence?"
"Naturally. Harry…Harry I don't want to go. What if they cry? I won't know what to do! What if they get sick? I have a weak stomach, I can't handle that."
"Don't forget about them wetting themselves. That's pretty bad too."
"I…I didn't think of that! Harry! I can't do it. Can't, I say!"
"Yes you can. You're god, remember?"
"Yes…yes I am, aren't I?"
