Roger was still a little wrung out from the whole thing with Lavender from the day before. Babysitting wasn't something he should probably be doing in his current mood. Getting drunk with Eddie was probably what he should be doing, but that took coordination

She smiled and ran to the door when she heard his knock. She hadn't seen him yet this summer and even thought she knew she as about to get picked on, it would still be good to see him.
She flung open the door and smiled, "Hello!" She quickly gave him a hug, "That's because I missed you." She then slapped him on the arm, "And that's for picking on me!"

"You're dating a puppy. You knew what I was going to do with that," he told her. The look he gave her was one he usually gave his sisters when he knew he had a point.
That's basically what Mandy was, though. Another little sister. If you ignored how attractive she was, which Roger had worked hard to learn to do.

"He's not a puppy! You make him sound like a first year! I think I'm more in shock that he's a Gryffindor boy." Most people knew that Mandy wasn't a fan of most of the Gryffindors. You had to be something special if you were her friend from that house. There really were only two, Lavender and Drew.
"So what's new with you old one?"

Honestly, he was happy if she was happy. At some point, he might have to vet this Drew kid, but he wanted to tease Mandy about it for a while before then.
Roger snorted. "How much time do you have? I can Apparate, so I've been all over Britain in the past few weeks. I think I broke Lavender. I did break a chair. You know, same ol'."

Wait did he just say he broke Lavender? She gave him a confused look, "You broke Lavender and a chair? I feel there is some explaining in there."
Reply
"I tripped over my sister's shoes and fell on a chair. It lost. It was actually pretty funny, though."
Roger knew, knew, that wasn't the part she was interested in, but he was still working up to dealing with the whole Lavender situation. He'd buy as much time as Mandy would let him.

"You broke a chair tripping over your sister's shoes. I thought I was the uncoordinated one there. Did you at least fix the poor chair?"
She wanted to know what happened to Lavender but clearly he didn't want to talk about, so she wouldn't bring it up, just yet anyways.

Rolling his eyes, Roger shook his head. "I threw it out. It was the ugliest thing in the house. I'm pretty sure it once belonged to Filch. I wish I were kidding."
Reply
"Why would your family have a chair that belonged to Filch? That doesn't even make sense."

It was possibly a very poorly kept secret that Roger liked blondes. He blamed Lavender.
"You never know. Mum could have been a delinquent and stolen it. She's not as nice as she'd have you believe."

"And dating sideways? That doesn't even make sense," she said with a laugh.
At the though of Roger's mom stealing a chair she couldn't picture it, her mother perhaps but not his, "Or you did and you won't fess up!"
Reply
He handwaved at her. Dating sideways made sense. Somehow. Sort of.
Shaking his head, Roger leaned forward to giver her a conspiratorial look. "I can neither confirm or deny it. You can't prove a thing."
Reply
She laughed at his comment about the chair, "I know it. You are worse then those Weasley twins I tell ya."
She stood up, "Shall we walk to the cafe down the street? We can get some sandwiches."
Reply
There were worse legacies to have.
Roger shoved to his feet and stretched his arms back. "As long as they have quality coffee. I'd kill for caffeine right now." He may have been up all night angsting about Lavender.

Mandy nodded, "I'm sure it will be up to your standards." She grabbed his hand and led him out the door, "Let's go."
Reply
"Tell me more about this puppy you're dating. Do I have to make threats? I can make threats."
