A Serious Lesson Or Two

"I hate pushy women," He confided to her, and then gave her a bit of mischievious smirk. "And those designer robes from Madame Malkins are at least from 5 years ago. Her ring, although impressive, is paste. Good paste, but paste nonetheless. She had money then. She doesn't now. She thinks I have money. That's the only reason a woman like her would go after an old fart like me. But, I did rather enjoy that.

"You really wanna know?" he grinned. "I told her we'd have to meet someplace discreet. I told her that I am a bigamist and that the ministries from almost every country on the continent is looking for me and that I have 14 illegitimate children I've never supported. That solved that money business in a hell of a hurry."

He glanced out the window to see the woman spilling, unquestionably, his confession to none other than Minister of Magic Robert Lupin and pointing to Michael's face in the bistro window. Michael loooked at Robert's face to see it had a a rather grim expression to it, and he nodded a time or two before the woman tilted her head in abject rejection of Michael. Robert opened the door to the bistro and came in.

Robert paused a moment, sighed, and then walked over to the table. "So, do I arrest you or join you?" he asked Michael. Then he shook his head. "Do you really have to scare off all the female customers, MIkey?"

"I didn't," MIchael said. "See I have two very attractive ones right here."

"Young enough to be your granddaughters, too," Robert said.

"Be nice, or I won't give you my bug."

"Bug? What bug?" Robert frowned, sitting with them.

"This one," Michael said, pulling the grasshopper out of his pocket and handing it to him. Robert took the grasshopper and looked at it carefully.

"Who is it?"

"He's Gary now. Doesn't matter who he was, does it?"

"Gary, huh? Alright, Gary. Behave youself," he said, putting the bug in his suit coat pocket. "You plan on introducing me? I know Sophia. Who's your other young friend?"

"Oh! This is Tessie. Say hello to Ozzy, Tessie," Michael said. Robert rolled his eyes at Michael at being called Ozzy.

Sophia looked at Marki and nodded understanding what she was saying about her bullfrog being her best friend. Although Sophia would never admit it but her snowy white owl Angel and her black cat were her best friends before she went to Hogwarts and still are. Sophia knew she always had them for they were as loyal to her as any of her friends. Sophia didn't know if Angel or Salem hated anything but she knew they gotten along with her white siberian husky named mia that her mother gave her. Follwoing Michael towards Sparks they walked inside which made Sophia smile seeing how she haven't been in here in awhile.

Sophia raised her eyebrows at the lady filrting with Michael and looked at them with a amused look on her face when the lady left. "I'll just get a thing of Kate's hot coca and a slice of cheesecake."said Sophia softly not bothering to look at the menu seeing how she was family friend of the Lupin's. As she seen Robert she gave him a soft warm smile. "Why hello Robert, fancy seeing you today how are you?"Sophia asked him softly as she gave him a hug. Sophia basically knew all the Lupin's and were friends with all of them afterall she worked with Khaat and Robeert and plus they helped her on numerous times.
