Your new suit. Yeah. Incredibly considerate of you to switch to a new suit after I used some of my hard-earned money to complete your old crocodile set. Thanks a lot, Fred.
I want to remind everyone that I'm still looking for assistance myself, so if Fred's little business doesn't interest you, there's always mine. And I don't have an application like his.
I'm a bit too offended about the suit to consider a merger at this time. See if I get you such an expensive Christmas gift ever again. And I'm having some personal troubles that distract me from business matters, so it's definitely not the best time.
I won't be keeping your books for you, though, mine take enough time as it is. And you really should consider a better product testing division. I find it works perfectly well to have willing testers who give constructive feedback, rather than "enlisting" the first years.
Ginny, I'm sure you know that crocodile is simply not the mode for up and coming businessmen like myself. It's nothing personal, in fact, I wholly appreciated your thoughtful gift. It just seems no longer suitable (pardon the pun) for my new image.
Whose sort of business are you calling 'little'. Had I not achieved a level of well-practised self control, I would take offence to that. Weasley Enterprises is growing every day, and the management, if I do say so myself, is outstanding.
A good businessman should never let personal matters interfere with potential profits. It says so specifically in my how-to guide. Perhaps I should loan the book to you sometime? It is most informative as well as an engaging read. There's even a section in the book for businesses that specialise in more deviant products that you might find useful

Then you could do me the favour of returning it and then returning the cost of it to me, assuming they'll give you a refund this many months after the purchase. I bought it because I thought you would wear it, so it's a waste of my money if you don't. Either that, or you can reimburse me yourself.
This businessgirl has more to do than run a business while she's in school. In the future, I can focus more on it, but right now my personal life and keeping up with school really is important. I don't know if I need to read your book, and I don't see why you're pointing any deviance out to me. How many students have you hospitalised for the sake of your business

Ginny, I honestly didn't mean to offend. I'm sure it's a very nice crocodile ensemble. It just makes me slightly uncomfortable to be wearing what, for all intents and purposes, might as well be George's clothing. People will think we're trying to look like twins or something. Er. You know what I mean. ...Although I guess right now he probably wouldn't be too keen on wearing the crocodile trousers either; It might get a bit stuffy to wear those on top of lederhosen. How about this: If it will make you happy, I will make a point to wear this crocodile ensemble to my next board meeting. With my staff. With, er, myself. Right.
And really, you don't need to bring up all those incidents - most of which I still maintain were the faults of the consumers and not the products themselves. We, well, I am working to assure that the new line of items has safety in mind. Except, of course, the ones that are intended to wreak havoc. Those ones, I'd imagine, can't be expected to be safe, now can they? Besides, hospitalisation is only temporary, while

Gee, Fred, who would ever suspect you're twins? Look, I know things aren't great between the two of you right now, but he's still our brother and unlike Ron he hasn't done anything so completely stupid that he should be disowned. It's not his fault he's forgot so much. You could be helping him or something. Maybe you could wear the suit to the Yule Ball, if you're going. Something!
People do tend to remember hospitalisation. And what if someone died because you didn't make sure it was free of nasty allergens or poisons or other unintended hazards?
Monoship sounds funny. What's wrong with partnership?
Sure, all of the testers get discounts on their purchases, and in some cases I let them keep their test samples. And I try to keep track of their details so I can make them a perfectly customised gift for a birthday or holiday. You have to show people that you care about their feedback and you're aware of them as a person, you know?
Ginny, I know it's hard for you to understand, but our business, well, it was our business. The fact that he's abandoned it for a culture whose language sounds like a sinus infection is just appalling. I guess you're right though. More hope for him than Ron. At least George hasn't been having it off with the aquatic life, at least not that I know of. .........Ew. Perhaps a new topic would be in order.
I haven't really given much thought to the Yule Ball yet. It will probably be rather dull. Any sort of elaborate prank usually takes more than one person to pull off effectively... Besides, I have loads of work to do with Weasley Enterprises.
Did George tell you if he likes the suit? Just asking. Not that it factors in to my opinion on the outfit at all.
Ah, but memory can easily be modified. I've spoken with several lawyers who suggested that Obliviate charms could be argued as entirely ethical. You're right though... death probably wouldn't look terribly good on the company's record. I shall have to look into it more
