"-won't start learning about them! New rules, new regulations-they just. Won't. Learn. Them!"

"What are you drinking, Hermione?"

"What am I-have you even been listening to me?"

"Ahem."

"Ginger beer and lime over ice, that's what. Why?"

"Give me your glass."

"Why? Severus . . . Severus?"

"There. Better. Drink."

"What did you do? Is it a sleeping potion?"

"No. It's a Moscow Mule."

"What is?"

"The glass in your hand. Before, it was only ginger beer and lime, an unfinished drink. Now drink."

"Mmm. Oh, that's just the same as I had before-and you're ignoring-"

"Drink more of it. Yes, good. Tilt your head back."

"Severus!"

"Give it a moment."

"What did you put in it?"

"Vodka, and if you wait a bit, you'll feel the kick."

"How much-oh, that's a lot."

"Yes, I like a strong drink."

"And the throat, I mean, my throat."

"When it's working, yes. Is it working, Hermione?"

"Not yet. Let me finish thish, and we'll shee."

"Yes. Much calmer."

"Severus?"

"Mmm?"

"Perhaps after a nap?"

"Damn. Too much vodka."
