"I'm beginning to feel like an odalisque," Lorcan jokes to his best friend, and current "owner", Louis.
"So you're now telling me that you're sporting a set of breasts beneath that jumper, which you're just about to tell me is topaz, since you're now a girl, are you, Lorcan?" Louis is quick to retaliate with light-hearted humour in the direction of someone who really shouldn't have bet against him in that Quidditch match.
"Actually it's apparently sunlit toffee, if such a colour could exist, Molly tells me," Lorcan replies, as he hands Louis a perfectly cooked breakfast. "Anything else you want?"
Louis merely raises an eyebrow.
"What?" Lorcan asks, indignantly.
"You forgot a word on there."
"What the…?" Lorcan begins, his brow furrowed in confusion, until he remembers. "No, you've got to be kidding me."
"You said you'd do it if the Chudley Cannons lost and, what a surprise, they did. Now, address me properly," Louis grins, tucking into his breakfast as Lorcan sighs heavily.
"Anything else, master?" he adds on the end in such a sarcastic tone that Louis almost makes him write out that he is the supreme Quidditch team backer three thousand times.
But he doesn't. As he needs his house cleaning.
"No, I don't. But you can clean the house. And do it properly, Scamander. I don't want this sub-standard service that you usually give people."
"I think I'd rather be an odalisque," Lorcan mutters as he walks away, imagining what it would have been like to be a slave in the East. Something tells him that it would be preferable to this…even if it means that he does have to become a female!
