Tea. All right. Where? Would you please tell me now if you're another one of the people with rules and lines in nonlinear and unquantifiable places that I can't reason out in advance who's going to be scared of me or angry or disgusted with me if I break one or cross one even if I didn't know I was doing it, and will you please tell me what they are ahead of time because if you end up deciding not to like me Stephen will... well, whatever it is I don't think it would be good for any of us and if you are I'd rather just not get involved and you probably would too in the long run.
There's the ever-reliable Three Broomsticks, or if you'd prefer more privacy, perhaps we could just use the Room of Requirement here at the castle? The house-elves could probably be induced to provide something. What would you prefer? I -- what? I don't think I do. I like people to be honest with me and I get angry when they lie or try to kill me, but I think most people do. And Stephen is a dear friend, and for his sake I would -- whatever is the matter?
Room of Requirement sounds... good. Tea is fine with me. Or whatever. I don't mind being honest. Not at all. And I'm glad you want me to be honest and not lie, because I'm good at that--- that's kind of the problem at the moment. And if Stephen's your friend you won't mind that I don't keep things secret from him, will you? It's a long story but I told Stephen something that I apparently wasn't supposed to but I didn't know I wasn't and now one of my friends isn't anymore. Isn't my friend, I mean, at least I think he's not.
Will tomorrow be all right? Say four in the afternoon? I'll make the arrangements for refreshments. Let me know if there's anything particular that you like. I see. I think. You can tell me more when we meet. But for the record, I usually assume that husbands and wives or lovers tend not to keep things from one another, you know.
Tomorrow's fine. I like Constant Comment tea, if that's all right. And chocolate. But anything's fine. All right, I will. You do? Oh, that's a relief. I think I'm starting to see why Stephen likes you!

Tea and chocolate: an excellent cure for all ills. I'll see you then.
