... You... would really do that?

[italianscanspar]

Well, sure! I mean, I know a lot of people aren't keen on the whole family-over-at-school thing. It'd just be uncomfortable for them.

[[ surprisingly, there is good intention behind the proposition. ]]

Also, I need new vinyls. [[ That too. ]]

[areyouabully]

...Should I pay in advance...?

[italianscanspar]

...

[[ That takes him aback for a second. ]]

...you're a sweet kid though. Why would you need to hide?

[redwhiteandhero]

Whoring yourself out now?

[italianscanspar]

Not all of us need to whore ourselves out to get any.

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm just calling it like I see it.

[italianscanspar]

Because you can't see your own, I get it, I get it.

[dofaye]

It's an interesting idea, but there can't be that much demand for such a service, can there?

[italianscanspar]

Eh, well, you never know unless you throw it out there!

[dofaye]

I suppose you're right. And it makes a bit more sense than complaining about parents coming, as some of the students are. [...sort of.]

Erk, messed up html sorry!

[italianscanspar]

Exactly. Besides, if the students are complaining so much, I doubt the parents are too

[[ he decides that's too presumptuous a theory and scratches it out ]]

Well, if anyone needs the service, I'm here.

[italianscanspar]

I have my places.

[[ ...mostly he was just planning on hiding them all in the dorm and Transfiguring...something to hide them.

In other words, he didn't think about that bit. ]]

[italianscanspar]

[[ Oh dear god. ]]

Like the dorm. People probably won't think of looking in the Gryffindor dorm since it's kind of an obvious place. And it'd be even better if one of the people I'm hiding isn't in Gryffindor.

[donttelldaddy]

You're promoting immature teenage rebellion.

[italianscanspar]

No I'm not.

I'm basing business decisions off of it.

[[ obviously this justifies everything. ]]

[donttelldaddy]

You don't think it's wrong to make money by prolonging familial dysfunction?

[italianscanspar]

I'll be honest, yeah, this service isn't the most family-friendly or anything. But either it's teenage rebelliousness or there's a proper reason some kids don't want to see their parents. Maybe I'm being intrusive or whatever but it's not like I decided this without thinking about it.

[[ Actually, he's thinking as he speaks. And he has somewhat of a point. He's actually doing this with selfless, albeit misguided, intent. ]]
