Your new suit. Yeah. Incredibly considerate of you to switch to a new suit after I used some of my hard-earned money to complete your old crocodile set. Thanks a lot, Fred.
I want to remind everyone that I'm still looking for assistance myself, so if Fred's little business doesn't interest you, there's always mine. And I don't have an application like his.
I'm a bit too offended about the suit to consider a merger at this time. See if I get you such an expensive Christmas gift ever again. And I'm having some personal troubles that distract me from business matters, so it's definitely not the best time.
I won't be keeping your books for you, though, mine take enough time as it is. And you really should consider a better product testing division. I find it works perfectly well to have willing testers who give constructive feedback, rather than "enlisting" the first years.
Ginny, I'm sure you know that crocodile is simply not the mode for up and coming businessmen like myself. It's nothing personal, in fact, I wholly appreciated your thoughtful gift. It just seems no longer suitable (pardon the pun) for my new image.
Whose sort of business are you calling 'little'. Had I not achieved a level of well-practised self control, I would take offence to that. Weasley Enterprises is growing every day, and the management, if I do say so myself, is outstanding.
A good businessman should never let personal matters interfere with potential profits. It says so specifically in my how-to guide. Perhaps I should loan the book to you sometime? It is most informative as well as an engaging read. There's even a section in the book for businesses that specialise in more deviant products that you might find useful

Then you could do me the favour of returning it and then returning the cost of it to me, assuming they'll give you a refund this many months after the purchase. I bought it because I thought you would wear it, so it's a waste of my money if you don't. Either that, or you can reimburse me yourself.
This businessgirl has more to do than run a business while she's in school. In the future, I can focus more on it, but right now my personal life and keeping up with school really is important. I don't know if I need to read your book, and I don't see why you're pointing any deviance out to me. How many students have you hospitalised for the sake of your business
( ... )
Ginny, I honestly didn't mean to offend. I'm sure it's a very nice crocodile ensemble. It just makes me slightly uncomfortable to be wearing what, for all intents and purposes, might as well be George's clothing. People will think we're trying to look like twins or something. Er. You know what I mean. ...Although I guess right now he probably wouldn't be too keen on wearing the crocodile trousers either; It might get a bit stuffy to wear those on top of lederhosen. How about this: If it will make you happy, I will make a point to wear this crocodile ensemble to my next board meeting. With my staff. With, er, myself. Right.
And really, you don't need to bring up all those incidents - most of which I still maintain were the faults of the consumers and not the products themselves. We, well, I am working to assure that the new line of items has safety in mind. Except, of course, the ones that are intended to wreak havoc. Those ones, I'd imagine, can't be expected to be safe, now can they? Besides, hospitalisation is only temporary, while

While I am pleased with your demonstrated interest in the position, I can't help but wonder how exactly a need for beer money is a noble qualification for this job. Would you care to elaborate? What will your skills at alcohol purchase and consumption contribute to my company?
I am, however, very impressed that you managed to use all three of those words in the same sentence! It will definitely work in your favour as I evaluate applicants.
That is an interesting proposal. Although .05% wouldn't amount to too much unless you had a very large supply of alcohol. ...do you? Perhaps you could help coordinate refreshments for the company board meetings?
Yes, it states in my how-to book that articulate speech is one of the keys to success in the business world. So you are definitely well on your way!
Ach, Brüder! Wie schön dass du in dieses Journal endlich schrieben hast! Willkommen zurück und ich hoffe dass du...
Ran out of German skills for that, sorry. I know how much you like the language. But, uhm, yes.
I really wish (for all the brotherly love my heart holds for you and you do not return because I associate with the wrong sort of people) that you'd give this business idea another thought. I have seen Muggle movies about people who wear suits all the time.
They're incredible stiffs who can only relax after they've had a drink or a prostitute. Or a combination of the two. Also, at times, they kill people.
...
No need to dwell on that thought for too long, though!
So, uhm, to kill the painfully uncomfortable silence that often happens in these situations, do you have a date for the Yule Ball that is not a Yule Ball?
I'm going to ignore that first line that looks a bit like your head connected with the keypad. Repeatedly.
You know, George, while I'm touched at your concern, I really don't see how you're in a place to judge. You're not just associating with the wrong sort of people... you're in an organisation of Death Eaters! I don't see how my wearing suits and being concerned with my business (which, I might add, is a very mature venture on my part and will serve me well in the future), is anything compared to your gallivanting off with people who are very clearly EVIL. I think that if anyone were to develop murderous tendencies, it would be you.
Right.
No, I don't have a date for the Yule Ball. Not that I've really thought about the whole thing anyway. It's unbecoming of a businessman to care about trivial school events when there are so many other more important things to think about. And no, that does not make me a stiff. It just means that I have my priorities straight.
Why do you want to know, anyway? Do you have a date? Found a girl
( ... )
No, I bloody well don't, thank you so much for noticing.
See, you already sound like a stiff! Priorities, ha! About as straight as the pole shoved up--
Ahem. Let's be civil here.
What is a dirndl? Are you making up words to the German language? Really, Fred, no need to result to such desperate measures. I can very well teach you about the wonders of hitting your hea-- uhm, the language. Ahh yes. Exquisite.
I beg your pardon?! There is nothing shoved anywhere, thank you very much! I am still perfectly capable of loosening up and having just as good a time as the next person.
Yes, civil would be good. But then, isn't it a bit rich for you to suggest that seeing as you are involved in - need I reiterate - an association for Death Eaters.
I have no desire to learn anything about that strange and unappealing combination of discordant syllables that you call a 'language'. Sorry. Nothing personal, of course.
