"It's that time of year again. Presents. You have one week. I'll accept early ones too."

"You'll get the cake later." Armand winks, but he does have a basket full of shredded green and white paper, big enough to hide a few things.

The Lost King of France

and

Crafting the Culture and History of French Chocolate

and

France Since 1800

"Yes! It was... interesting. People stared at me, even though I borrowed some of Chris's clothes."

[dracoslytherin]

"Maybe you just thought they were staring."

[sweariwontdie]

"I don't think that was it."

[dracoslytherin]

"Thanks for braving that for these then," he holds on to the books.

[sweariwontdie]

"I'm not shy, but modern places are unnerving. I heard there was a good bookstore there, and I wasn't sure I'd get the actual books from the plothole."

[dracoslytherin]

"How long did you spend looking?"

[sweariwontdie]

"I was only there a few hours, though I had picked out the titles from here."

[dracoslytherin]

"They look interesting..."

[sweariwontdie]

"I hope you like them, and I hope the one makes up for the lack of real chocolates. You should get Harry to get those for you."

[dracoslytherin]

He smirks. "I'm sure he can give me something much better than that."

[sweariwontdie]

"How stingy that he can't give you both." But really he is teasing.

[dracoslytherin]

"I'm sure we can incorporate more than the one thing..."

[sweariwontdie]

He steps close and whispers, too much light in his eyes to be taken entirely seriously, "Remember, the chocolates come first."

[dracoslytherin]

He raises an eyebrow then smirks. "And then what?"

[sweariwontdie]

"I should think you know that better than I would." Armand really is innocent in some ways, but not this way, so he doesn't sound that ignorant. "I'm sure you'll think of something if you don't."
