"Well, I've done some standard ones, bombs to distract people, pop open vault doors, simple ones. I've also created pinches that knocked out a city's power. And there was this impenetrable case with diamonds in it...so we just blew up the base and stole the entire case, diamonds and all." Basher took off his glasses. "I also flew the helicopter that time."
Clearly this man knew his stuff. Bond nodded appreciatively, but his face was still neutral. "And what, exactly, are your thoughts on large fireballs just for the hell of it?"
"Mostly to get into something or to knock out the power. Though technically, one time there was a display case I couldn't get into, so we just stole the case."
"No, I haven't done demolition since I was about your age." Mello looked to be in his twenties. "Closest I've gotten these days is using one of the drills they used to build the Chunnel to simulate an earthquake. And that was still a team effort, Turk and Virgil took over so I could get the diamonds."

He's hoping the sorting hat will forget about it once he's gone.
