"Professor, how was your summer hol?" he asked before coming to stand in front of one of the armchairs. He knew it was likely okay to sit, but he always stood on ceremony. Grinning he placed the parcel on Cossy's desk and waited...
Cosgrach closed the door after him, and was taken aback when he didn't sit down. "But why don't you sit, son?" he asked in a good-impatient way, because he thought they were over such little gestures.

"It was good," he said as he sat down on his throne. He would have set on the other armchair, but Silas placed a parcel on his desk, so clearly he would need some space while he opened that. Sure, maybe it wasn't for him... if it wasn't, he would be very disappointed.

"My wife is a candidate for the ministry elections," he said oh-so-casually, Silas' parents WOULD vote for her, yes? "I helped her. How was yours and what's this?" The parcel and his grin. Should Cosgrach be grinning too? Could he touch it???

He nodded some more, because Emily most definitely WAS a female, she was just a special kind of one. But no, nooooo... beautifying potions were not up her ally, he knew that much. "She doesn't care about looks, Sir." Nope. As for all the others mentioned, Euphoria, he couldn't see her being happy about being happy either. He didn't even know what the Invigoration Draught entailed, but the chronic illness stuff definitely didn't apply. "It's for... my mum," he added, "Bart's mum knows her," did HE know her too? "Scary MLE boss lady?" Did that ring a bell? Cause yeah, mending bridges with her was going to take something pretty amazing.

He was easily distracted from his dilemma when Culloden questioned his success. "Yep, both of them. My sister watched, and she helped make sure I counted everything out right." Cause counting things out right sometimes got him in a pickle. Additional stirs and ingredients could end badly.

Cosgrach looked at Zeke in confusion for a moment - scary MLE lady? Who was - oooooh! His confusion turned into sympathy as soon as he understood who she was. He hadn't personally met her, but she was scary - at least she looked so, and Victoria wasn't his only source in the ministry. Victoria would never gossip, but he knew Emily. Then he was amazed at himself for never matching the surnames, but of course, of course...

"That's tough," he said as he nodded a little and looked at Zeke with a mixture of sympathy and pity, "but I'm proud of ya, Zeke! I!m proud of ya for brewing two perfect potions!" He was also proud of himself, needless to say, because he was the teacher. "And I think I know the perfect solution: You're gonna brew Mrs. Lafay's Scintillation Solution that's gonna make you glow in your favourite colour and become animated'n'bright. Then, you're gonna put on her favourite music and dance to it. You're gonna be soooooo cute that her mother love will overcome her logic."

HMM? How did it sound?
