He nodded, deciding that, yes, that was what he wanted to go with. "Although you are right in the roundabout way, because him and Peter ended up in detention because of them sneaking into Lily's Arithmancy class and stealthily delivering another invite to the winter ball. If you think it's stealthy to break out into a heartfelt song, anyway."

Whatever, he'd defend his friend's stealth even if it was non-existent. "Do you have one yet, by the way? Date for the winter ball."
