Meanwhile, Billys mind was preoccupied with how many pints he may or may not have consumed. He also wondered how many more he could have, but the thought of taking shots seemed more welcoming. In his state when he could have a glass of cooking oil with no problem, he doubted a few vodka shots would matter.

"That's 'orrible! I 'ope you got 'im back!"

Ahm fraid noot. He was a wee bugger, my cousin. Ah dinnent want him back either, he was rather rank afta that. he replied, cocking his head at Jacquies French accent. He recognised it, oh yes. His tutor used to speak like that, and how could he forget a tutor who threatened to wallop him every time he mispronounced the French words and butchered them? But still, he wasnt making much of an effort to tone his own accent down and he rather liked how Jacquie sounded.

"You know, I never 'ad a teddy bear when I was younger. I had lots of books though. I 'ave one now though. 'E is an auror, and really cute, and kind ov scary looking, but really under all zat 'e iz a teddy bear."

Books. Ah had plenty of books, but they werent too fun to plooter with. Billy stopped talking when as he tried to decipher what Jacquie was trying to say. Ye like this loon, eh? What wuld you describe me as then? he hoped that she wouldnt say lunatic, but anything was better than teddy bear. Considering his unhappy situations with his own beloved and deceased soft toy.

"Be gentle wit' me! I am only a leetle girl you know! And I shall follow you anywhere captain! Put it in front of me, and I shall drink it. And I will bet you that I can drink more zhan you can!"

Och, you have a challenge there little lassie. How boot ah have one shot, you have a shot and then whoever slams down their shot glass doon first must buy the next round an whoever canoot go on, must do something outrageous and stupid? he nodded and gestured to the bar man. First rounds on me, two shots ov vodka. he winked at Jacquie, screw the prefectship... this was his last year of Hogwarts and he wanted to have a bit of fun. Albeit, drunken fun.
