Is pickled herring an acceptable dish?

[aperfectthird]

[...]

If it's what you'd like to bring, of course.

[candothat]

It is one of my favorite foods from my home.

You are one of Ginny's brothers?

[aperfectthird]

One of several, yes. You must be one of her friends?

[candothat]

Yes, Pavel Chekov. Which brother are you?

[aperfectthird]

Percy Weasley, the third eldest.

[candothat]

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Do you also play Quidditch?

[aperfectthird]

I do not. I'm afraid flying around has never been quite my area of interest. Ginny's told you about it, I presume?

[candothat]

Yes, in detail. Then you are an academic? Ginny has said that her brothers are academically gifted.

[aperfectthird]

[She has?]

Yes, academia has always been more my area of focus rather than ... sport.

[candothat]

[He likes hearing about her giant and crazy family, so yes, she did... just not so politely.]

It never bores you? Academics?

[aperfectthird]

Not in the least! How could it? There's always something new.

[candothat]

Yes, of course, but are you always studying? I get restless and need to run sometimes. It helps me think.

[aperfectthird]

I suppose not always. There's legislation to be edited as well, of course, and at least here, the shop is very time-consuming.

[candothat]

If that is what you enjoy, then I am glad you are doing it.

[aperfectthird]

The same for you, Mr. -

- I don't believe I ever got your name?

[candothat]

Chekov, Pavel Andreievich. It is good to meet you.
