Why do Death Eaters have to be involved? Perhaps the Professor simply wrote something embarrassing and wished to destroy it.

[hexedherne]

Better you should just trust my judgement. How's that for a crazy idea? Maybe, seeing as I was the one that was there, I might have a better idea.

[favourite_son]

As crazy ideas go, I'd say it was quite a good one. But I'd rather not, if you don't mind. I don't much fancy going crazy just yet.

[hexedherne]

God forbid I might actually be right for once, eh?

[favourite_son]

*expression remains blank, but just a hint of teasing in his voice*
Exactly. Who knows what might happen?

[hexedherne]

Well you'd have to apologise for one.

[favourite_son]

*raises an eyebrow*
I would? I can't see what for.

[hexedherne]

For acting like I'm always in the wrong.

[favourite_son]

But who says that I'm acting? Perhaps you are.

[hexedherne]

Ah, so I'm wrong about that, am I?

[favourite_son]

*smugly*
Clearly. If you're wrong about everything, then it follows that you must be.

[hexedherne]

Sooooo... if I were right about something, you'd have to apologise about acting like I'm always wrong. Am I right?

[favourite_son]

I'm afraid not. You see, if you were truly wrong about everything, then you couldn't possibly ever be right, and therefore no apology would ever be required.

[hexedherne]

But I'm right about the theory, aren't I?

[favourite_son]

No.
*indulgently*
But let's say that you were... *shakes his head* There still wouldn't be any need for an apology. Sorry.

[hexedherne]

Ha! But you just did apologise!
*frowns*
But why wouldn't there be any need for an apology?
