I admit to no such thing, Sirius, and I won't no matter how much you badger me.

[doggedly]

Ah, well. S'ppose it's all right, as I know the actual truth.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Or a version of it, anyway. By the way, speaking of fun-- have you been speaking to Jenna lately?

[doggedly]

Er-- have I?

[theshabbiestofmen]

She referred to you as the boy who scoffed at the idea a girl could outdrink him.

[doggedly]

Oh, well, it's a ridiculous suggestion, innit! I don't care who she is!

[theshabbiestofmen]

She's a vampire. I rather imagine she could out-do anything in comparison to you.

[doggedly]

[.....well.]

I take you on quite well, thanks.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but I should imagine I'd be a poor drinker if I was entirely human anyway.

[doggedly]

I can hold my own, thanks! Against her, against you--against anyone! Just 'cos you don't believe me!

[theshabbiestofmen]

If she's anything like vampires at home, no, you can't. It's not a matter of not believing you, it's a matter of going against supernatural forces. You do remember studying vampires, don't you?

[doggedly]

Is this going to turn into a lesson....

[theshabbiestofmen]

It might, if I think you've forgotten everything you learned in third year.

[doggedly]

I haven't! I remember loads about vampires and werewolves and all of it, don't be stupid. I'm only saying, they might not be the same sort that we have.

[theshabbiestofmen]

She's certainly more charismatic than ours. Not as pale, either, though I have to find out if she can go into the sun or not.

[doggedly]

Precisely. Not that we'll see much sun here, I s'ppose, but--precisely all the same. So, more charismatic, more charming--and thus, easy to beat in a drinking contest

Perhaps.

[theshabbiestofmen]

How on earth does that add up to easy to beat in a drinking contest? Surely it's simply a matter of how much each of you can hold.

[doggedly]

Yeah, and everyone knows that girls are shit at drinking contests because they're quite susceptible to being drunk. Body, er, mass. Right? So her advantage is being a vampire but it might not work the same, not here. This is all logic, don't try to argue!

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's twisted logic. I'm not going to stop you from trying, but I'm just saying, you're doomed to fail.

[doggedly]

I'm-- You what! Oh, very nice, very nice indeed! My own best mate hasn't any faith in me!

[theshabbiestofmen]

You're missing my point, Sirius. Anyway, I've seen you pass out from too much drink; how can I have faith after that?

[doggedly]

The only reason you saw me was 'cos you weren't drinking yourself. And that was, what--one time? Or twice, or-- It doesn't matter, anyway! The real point is that if we were placing bets, you would bet against me. Wouldn't you.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Oh, without a doubt. I'd cheer you on, though, if that's any consolation.

[doggedly]

[He gives a wounded sniff.]

Very slight.

[theshabbiestofmen]

You'll survive-- speaking of, try not to give yourself alcohol poisoning, please.
