So it's Halloween and there's a party—to what, help us forgive and forget the whole circus mess? As if we're so easily pleased.
Besides, I haven't got a date and only last year's costume in my closet. That's not very good at all, is it?

[And that, to his heavily pain-killer laden brain, means that it would have been just as dangerous for her as it had been for him, because they're both of age and skilled magic users, and how could he have knowingly let her go into that?]
Please don't - beat yourself up for this.
action ][
Don't worry. I'm not.
[They're a week out from the end of the war. What else did she do but beat herself up for all the things that went awry at the battle? It's a hard thing to shake.]

[He shifts, wincing a little at the slight lancing of pain even through the pills.]
Have I missed much? In the meantime?
action ][
[She studies him.]
D'you want me to go by City Solutions for anything?
action ][
I asked one of the nurses to let Ms. Potts know I wouldn't be returning for some time. Thank you, though.
action ][
How long?

[She smiles, pats his hand.]
I promise I won't set the fireworks off.

You're already doing too much. You can't do this, too.

[He tries to shake his head, but the movement makes him dizzy.]
It'll be too much.

Promise you won't worry about it while you're here?
action ][
[although with the number of painkillers he's on, he won't be worrying about much for a while.]
action ][
[She looks around the room.]
Look, you've got a television in here. You can watch some movies, I bet you haven't seen a lot.
action ][
The nurse said I could use this to control it. I haven't figured out how to use it.
action ][
You've never used the one in our flat? Alright, here— [She points to the topmost button in green.] That's to turn it on and off. These are for changing the channels, that is, to switch from show to show. So you see they've got people dancing on this one... [And she starts flipping through them.] But here it's some people in a courtroom and that's some animal thing and... well, you get the idea. Volume control is right here.
Think you can manage?
action ][
[He peers dubiously at the remote, running his thumb over the buttons. But he presses the button Ginny said would change the 'channel,' and looks a bit startled when he succeeds.]
Oh! That's rather clever, isn't it?
action ][
Have I utterly ruined you now with this introduction to the TV?
action ][
[Maybe.]
I suppose it might have its use when my head hurts too much to read.
