Oh me, oh my. Wasn't that Quidditch game just FASCINATING? Must be unfortunate to be on the losing team.

What if you were forced on the team? Not fond of your house? Not fond of the game? More fond of the other house, even?

All of those are possibilities; it can be dangerous to be so narrow minded.

We'll see. Not that I have any real intention of watching any of the games.

My curiosity wasn't based on negativity.

Who do you think will win?

I wouldn't say that, I like to believe in second chances. And when there is that chance, it'll leave a stronger impression.

First impressions are like paper. Once you crumple it up, you can flatten it out as much as you want but you'll still be able to see the creases.

I'm sure Sherlock isn't fond of naiveté.

Your tact and humility know no bounds, Moriarty.

My tact and humility? Those were in question here?

Never!

I'm just glad to see that they're as sound and infallible as always.

Fair enough.

But by saying you're glad to that is implying you might have been expecting differently.

Is it?

[inkblot]

Why would I possibly expect anything less from you?

[Someone's amused.]

Why would you indeed?

[Someone's mildly unnerved]

The very idea is preposterous.
And unfathomable.

It's probably best not to think on it any longer.

Are you saying I'm wrong?

I'm starting to feel insulted!

It's hardly semantics when some players seem to be playing fast and loose with the rules of the game.

And don't call me 'dear'.

I'll give you the tribes but the Amish aren't as secluded from the world.

What other kind of old fashion notions do you follow? No divorce?

I'm sure they'll try.

Are you aware of what "semantics" even means?

Aww, you wound me.

I did say it was a less extreme case.

OH! Thinking of divorce already? We haven't even gone to Hogsmead together.

Of course I do. I'm not as stupid as you like to think.

Good. Not as satisfying as punching you in the jaw, but it'll do.

Define it.

A girl has to keep her options open and I've only just been allowed to attend.

What? I'm saying you're right. Why would you feel insulted?

I'd like to say Hufflepuff, but the other teams are pretty damn good. It's really anyone's game at this point. Gryffindor still have a chance depending on who wins or who loses the next few matches. Ravenclaws got the smarts; not too sure about the muscle but they've definitely got the brains for strategy. Slytherin's sneaky though; they like pulling off tricks here and there, pull the rug under your feet to surprise you, but they other than the three Chasers they don't have much team work.

You're saying I'm wrong in assuming the implication was negative in your attempt to negate the implication.

I guess in the end we'll see, won't we?

I guess so. Personally, I'm more interested in playing than winning, but it's a nice extra bonus.

What I'm saying is [inkblots] that there was never any sort of negative implication to begin with.
