Marcus could not help but laugh again. She was making this all too easy for him and he lent back in his chair and grinned like a cheshire cat. The more defensive she got, the more amused he became. "See! I knew you would understand." He chuckled again, wondering how long it would be before she smacked him. "And anyway, who says I'm single?" He was, but unless she had been stalking him, she was not to know that.

At that, Lawson burst out laughing. He laughed so hard that he almost fell off the chair. "You offer defense classes to a bunch of children and if your staff was so capable then Hogwarts would not be in this predicament." It was his turn to snort this time. She might want to consider the trolls. "My dear you could not afford my services." And he was not about to put himself in danger. Those days were definitely over.

Placing his hand into his pocket, Axe pulled out the leather pouch that was full to bursting onto the table. "Not sure how much is in there, lost count after a thousand."

Merlin! He liked being rich.

"No, at least you haven't claimed that," she murmured in reply. Scruples and Axe hardly belonged in the same sentence, much less the same paragraph.

Annie threw a nasty look in his direction. He was chuckling and laughing. She wasn't going to give him the pleasure that he would no doubt derive from a slap across the face. No, she would keep her hands to herself at this... family function fundraiser. "Oh you're single all right," she spouted before haughtily turning her head away. "And I'm sure you'll stay that way, right up until the day you die alone." Alone and cold and flat broke, she hoped.

She continued to hold her head high even as he laughed so hard he nearly fell out of his chair. "It's Gringotts' fault we were stolen from, Marcus Lawson, don't confuse the two establishments. I know it's hard for you to tell one place from the next when you're stumbling around late at night, but this school is still a top-notch educational institution, and despite any obstacles thrown our way, we will continue to survive and strive to be the very best."

With that, the redhead stood. Just in time too, as the man was FINALLY producing the goods he had bragged about all night. "And here I didn't think you actually had it in you." She picked up the heavy sack and dropped it into the box without any grandeur, whipping out her wand to levitate the whole thing behind her. "I think it's time we closed the donation station for the evening," Annie declared stiffly. "Thank you ever so much for your donation."

She turned on her heel and with the box floating along behind her, promptly left.
