Goats are not entirely immune to the Elixir to Induce Euphoria.

I think perhaps it likes me better now.

Hoping for equally positive results from the Shrinking Solution.

Best if one does not help oneself to the yellow contents of the couldron in the Ravenclaw common room. Might be dangerous.

Okay, fine. Look.

Hi, I'm Peter Parker. Nice to meet you Sherlock.

Are you enjoying the weather?

[3potionproblem]

I am and you are ridiculous.

[speterman]

How am I ridiculous?! That was totally not being impossible to converse with.

[3potionproblem]

You sound like an old man.

[speterman]

... I'm younger than you!

[3potionproblem]

Next you'll be complaining of your health as we've exhausted weather as a conversational topic.

[speterman]

...No, I was just trying to spur a neutral topic that is possibly relevant to each our interests...

[3potionproblem]

Yes, the weather being so very interesting.

And tell me, Old Man Parker, are you experiencing any inner thigh irritation from broom practice?

[speterman]

Old Man Parker? I'm sorry didn't you say Sarcasm was the lowest form of wit?

But no, my thighs are fine, thank you for the concern.

[3potionproblem]

I never said I was above it.

[speterman]

This is the reason we can't have nice things, Sherlock.

[3potionproblem]

This is?

And here I thought it had something to do with my putting holes in things.

[speterman]

No, it is certainly this.

[3potionproblem]

Well, I'll cease pretending to feeling poorly about the knife marks in the mantle, then.

[speterman]

No one believed you felt bad anyway.

[3potionproblem]

I'll stop using you as a template, then.

[speterman]

What?

[3potionproblem]

Not just you, obviously. That would make for a rather flat impersonation.

[speterman]

What?

[3potionproblem]

Sorry, are you having a hard time understanding English?

[speterman]

No, I'm having a hard time understanding git.

[3potionproblem]

I don't see what's so hard to comprehend. Why shouldn't I use you and others as a template for my acting?

[speterman]

And how exactly do I act?

[3potionproblem]

It's innocence wrapped up in defensive prat. You want to be accepted as something more than what you feel you are, making for an interesting mix of confidence and insecurity.

[speterman]

[Someone's just going to be offended because Sherlock is right.]

You're not very good at "deduction", I guess.
