Unlike Simon, Billy wasn't nearly as good at holding his laughter inside. When 'admissions committee' popped out of Andy's mouth, he snorted sarcastically. He quickly brought his hand to his mouth and faked a cough.

"Sorry," Billy said, pretending to clear his throat. "Allergies. You know how old, dusty castles are."

He took a deep breath before continuing. "Right. 'Admissions committee.' Well, we don't make the final decision, but I think I'll tell the admissions committee Gryffindor for you, too. Somebody did tell you that this was all part of the interview, right, and we have a say?" Okay, almost no say, but the votes had to count for something, right?
