"We'll work up to it. I'm not too worried," Bishop smiled softly. "Animals are usually good at reading intentions, so he'll at least know I'm not trying to hurt you," he chuckled. He was still smiling as the train pulled into Hogsmeade, giving her a reassuring nod when she said ...

"What's that age-old saying?" Bishop thought as she talked about when she thought of Edinburgh, "Where there's a will, there's a way." he smirked as he looked over at her, "I think we know that one pretty well by now." He sat back as she considered what he said. He'd h...

Bishop grinned at her reaction to the brownie, "See? That's almost criminal how good that is," he said and when she followed the bite with the hot chocolate, he chuckled and nodded, "Muggles aren't actually bad at things, they just had to find other ways to do it," he shrugged, &...

Bishop gave a laugh to her immediately saying they were sharing the brownie. "Yes, ma'am," he said when she declared it was non-negotiable. He felt her looking at him as he took the first bite of the brownie, though he made an expression that said it was better than he'd anticipated, befor...

Bishop smiled at her saying they should come back. "I was hoping you'd be up for it," he nodded. "I think it'll be rather lovely," though truly it was her he knew that would be the lovely thing. He chuckled at her guess of how many questions he asked her, "I don't know if it...

When he repeated it back, he made an apologetic face like he knew he probably should have asked it. "Okay, if you're sure," he murmured, then flushed as she kissed the corner of his lips, mostly because it still made his heart stutter as much as if she'd just kissed him full on. He gave he...

Bishop smiled and nodded, "Yeah. And if we're better dressed for it, we can check out the Secret Garden dining room too," he said, "I was a bit unsure of the weather when I made the reservation, so I thought the hearth was the safer bet. But I'd like to see the rest of it with you som...

Bishop made a face, "Yeah, I was thinking maybe the bright lights would distract her," he laughed a little. "Leaky Cauldron does sound like the safer bet," he agreed, laughing again. When the question came around, "I'd say why not both, but I'm afraid of how cold it might be...

Her laugh still struck him like a bell, and he found himself smiling just because of it. "I thought I heard them talking about that; leave it to Pen to be taming dragons of all things," he chuckled lightly. Hearing they were supposed to have dinner with her at some point gave him a look of...

"No, I know," Bishop shook his head with a wry smirk, "I've known that was why dogs give me a wide berth. I think the only dog that's ever not run from me was someone's like retired police dog, which, fair, he'd probably seen scarier things than me," he chuckled. "I'll foll...

He hoped she wouldn't think too hard about the state that left him in afterward, but the point was he'd learned his lesson about drinking that much. That particular transformation led him to look into how he could prevent anyone else from going through it. He chuckled lightly at her, the healer in h...

Bishop chuckled, holding up his hand to say he wasn't judging her or saying anything. He was in the middle of cutting off a piece of the steak he'd gotten when she pointed the fork at him. He listened intently, though the way his stomach churned hearing what she'd felt... what she'd gone through alo...

The waitress gave a nod to Tati's answer before heading into the back. Bishop was looking around a bit as well, since it was his first time at the restaurant. "I have to admit it's better than I hoped; I was kind of afraid they were overselling it," he admitted, chuckling as he rubbed the ...

"I remember thinking it was so on the nose, which is why I was listening to them talk about it," Bishop admitted, rubbing the back of his head with a smirk, though that laugh of hers was a call straight to his heart. When she called it perfect, he eased up a bit more, like he'd been nervo...

Bishop chuckled softly at her talking about her notebook, "I wish you could find it, I would love to read all the places you wanted to go," he smiled at her lightly, "We could make it a goal to try and go to each one. And make memories along the way that we can think back on when we'r...

Hearing her response to seeing the city made him that much more glad he'd decided to take them via the train. He wanted her to experience the world in its entirety. "I'm glad you're enjoying it so far," he smiled softly at her. Then he chuckled at how quickly she said walk. "Alright,&...

Bishop smiled at her agreeing with him, "Funny how things work out that way," he murmured, "But I'm glad it does. That things can't be bad forever," he murmured. He was fine with just riding with her like this, enjoying the warmth and the feel of her, the smell of her that permea...

"I guess?" Bishop said, sounding unsure, "I don't know, I just knew I needed to come back here," he murmured. He looked at her as she said it was for similar reasons, listening to her story with rapt attention. He gave a hum then smirked, "Maybe the world decided to make am...

"I'm glad you like that idea too," Bishop smiled as she tested out the words, "And no, as much as I want to show you off to the world, I know that you would greatly dislike that and also, I'm not a gossip, especially not about things that aren't people's business to know," he mu...

Bishop gave a somewhat self-deprecatory smirk at him having "earned" an ego, but chuckled at her saying they'd be worse than the students. "Ah, well," he murmured, "I don't mind hearing about it," he smirked again. He leaned into her touch a little, drinking in the feel...

Bishop smirked at her calling him impossible, "Well, this is only the start," he murmured, "I won't wear it out, but you'll see," he smiled, a sort of promise that there was always going to be more. That this wasn't a one-time or a few-time thing. "Oh, they were teasing me, ...

When she responded in kind to the kiss, he almost seemed to sigh, like she just quelled something in him that was never quite quiet. Feeling her shiver at his touch, gods, she could have demanded anything from him in that moment. Just those little reactions were enough to drive him a bit mad. Perhap...

Bishop smiled at her saying it was nice that it was just the two of them, nodding in understanding. He didn't mind either way, because, similar to her statements, he'd be happy with her anywhere, even if they were just sitting together in the Great Hall, though that did mean they had to be a bit mor...

Her reaction to him drawing her close made something more stir in him, but he focused more on the conversation, "I'm glad we're on the same page," he smirked at her teasing, leaning his head forward a bit as she ran her fingers through his hair, as if to make it easier for her, though it b...

Bishop let go of her hand long enough for her to get her jacket on properly before reclaiming it, kissing her knuckles once more. It seemed to be his favorite little act of affection. Seeing her own affection reflected in her eyes left him unable to do anything but smile in response. Hearing, though...
