"Oh, you have me all figured out, pops," I say sarcastically. "Are you done stroking your ego? I really don't want to see the climax of this show."

From:

"You sure? It's pretty hot." His grin widened a bit and he reached back for Matt, tugging at the back of his jacket. "Come on, Matt, she'll be here when you get back. If we're gonna get, we've gotta get now."

From:

"I think I'd sooner gouge my eyes out with a dull spork," I say flatly. "And, Matt, if you'd rather oggle the flower, we can leave you behind."

From:

"Huh? What? Huh?" Matt was a little disoriented from being pulled away randomly. "No, I'm fine."

From:

"Now you know how I felt when Smaug showed up," Kurama laughed. They made it finally to the fireplace room and he turned to Mello. "Diagon Alley, yes?"

From:

"That is the place to start," I reply. Though, really, shouldn't he know that? Or was the question for the benefit of the slacker?

From:

"Ah, right." Matt shifted to get back to normal. "And from there to Osaka, correct?"

From:

"That's the plan." Kurama grabbed a fistful of floo powder, taking the fireplace trip first. He stepped to the side when he made it through to make room.

From:

"One more stop between, but yeah, basically," I say before following Kurama through. On the other side, I step aside. "Reckon the cow still has a job?" I ask him while we're waiting.

From:

Matt, unused to the floo network, fell on his face as he came through. "Ow," he said, getting up and rubbing his nose.

From:

Kurama had the dignity not to laugh at Matt when he tripped.

"What, the old bitch at the wand shop? Probably. Why?"

From:

"Actually, I meant the bovine at the coffee shop," I say, just looking at Matt. I cover my mouth, but remove my hand to ask, "This is what you learn playing video games?"

From:

"Keep it up, Mello, and I'll send you to meet your other self." He wouldn't, but he thought it would shut him up.

From:

Kurama shuddered, though if it was due to the stupid coffee cow or the other Mello, he wasn't sure. "Why do you want to know? Are we making a stop?"

From:

"Only if there's a wait before our port key," I reply. The only answer Matt gets is a glare and a finger in the air.

From:

Sometimes Matt wonders why he's friends with Mello.

"Let's go," and an eyeroll were all the responses Mello got.

From:

"It's so nice to be around such sweet, well-behaved children," Kurama murmured under his breath. "If you do decide to visit the cafe, I believe I shall wait outside. I can only be exposed to so much stupid in a day, and you're taking up most of the quota."

From:

And I put up with these people why? I wonder. "You're welcome to stay back, old man," I say sweetly before turning and heading out the door leading to Diagon Alley itself.

From:

"I may join you, Kurama. Better company."

From:

"Quite." He inclined his head, doing his best to look like a snob (of course, it was quite easy). "Though it is an act of grace and charity to see your friends through difficulties, I think I'm graceful and charitable enough already."

From:

I look between them. "If I'm not wanted," I say, turning back to the pub. This is just fucking annoying.

From:

"Oh come on, we need someone to shoot." Matt reached for Mello to pull him back.

From:

"We couldn't possibly go on without our mascot," Kurama grinned, putting out an arm to stop him. "Besides, would you rather mope around school all day or punk some punks?"
