Well, I rather suppose that, in retrospect, I shouldn't have even asked.

I mean, it's not as though I'm surprised, really...

...You all know that this is the best way to make sure you never get rid of me, right?

It's not really as though I care, you know. I don't need any of this.

Well, scene shift, page turn, move on, whatever.

Next?

Though we have never been on the best of terms, Terry. I will miss you. And I'm sorry it came to this. I know you don't care much but I'm sorry.

And I will miss being so frustrated with you constantly.

[bootme]

Goodbye, Susan. I do hope you have learned something from all this, as well.

[susie_ann]

And if I haven't?

[bootme]

Then I have behind me even more wasted effort than I believed.

I mean, I realise that trying to teach you to deal with Goldberg was all a waste, when it was all done, but if there's nothing at all that's stuck to the wall in that head of yours, I might have to write you off as a completely lost cause.

And that would be rather depressing, I think.

[susie_ann]

Maybe something you said did stick to that "wall in my head". I guess we'll have to see, won't we?

And I'll try my hardest not to step on your mother's begonias while visiting my aunt.

[bootme]

I shall be hoping and praying my tiny, black little heart out.

And they're my Aunt's.

Terry, not to bring up anything you don't want to hear about or think about right now... But is my aunt Amelia going to be there? For your hearing? She is the department head and all... And maybe I can put in a good word or something?

Because as much as you frustrate me and confuse me and frustrate me... I wouldn't want you being sent to Azkaban.

[bootme]

I don't know.

[susie_ann]

I will anyway. In case.

Azkaban is a terrible place and I would never wish something that horrible upon you, Boot.

[bootme]

Fine, then. Do as you will.
