All of that adds up to twenty five years of Ministry experience."

He put the lemon down and picked up his fork. "I wish they were serving mushy peas today with the roast beef," he said and took a bite of fried fish.

Oh thank MERLIN! The acidity of the lemon not only lessened the TASTE of the vinegar, but the smell lessened by a degree. HUZZAH!

Tamara nodded as he spoke, watching him intently. "Fascinating. And you played quidditch for how long before you started your Ministry career?" she asked with a smile. Perhaps she was trying to calculate his age... she was not rude enough to ask out right like most people. Heh.

MUSHY PEAS? He DID have all of his teeth, yeah? She shifted her gaze to his mouth and narrowed her eyes a tiny bit. If he had all of his teeth and wasn't 90 something she might ask him on a proper date... Maybe. "Yes, peas and roast beef sounds lovely."
