True Tourism

“If you don’t get up now, we won’t be on time for the tour.”
“We’re tourists, we’re not on a schedule. Let’s stay in bed, take the later tour.”
“That’s what’s wrong with your generation.”
“We like a good lie-in?”
“You consider punctuality unnecessary.”
“Oh, I think we show up when needed. I was right on time for defeating Voldemort as I recall.”
“Are you attempting to start a fight?”
“No. Aren’t you?”
“No. I just want us to take advantage of all the local attractions.”
“And I want us live a want-to life, not a have-to life. That means enjoying this holiday and not being so…regimented. So what if we miss the nine a.m. tour? There’s one at ten, eleven, two, three, and five.”
“If we make the nine o’clock tour, we can view the museum from ten to noon, then have lunch overlooking the cove until one-thirty, leaving us time in the afternoon for exploring the village.”
“Bloody hell, Severus. Do you have our bathroom breaks scheduled, too?”
“Now you’re being ridiculous. What do you have against getting an early start? We’re awake. If we stopped arguing and left now, we could fit everything in.”
“And leave nothing for tomorrow.”
“I thought we could Apparate to some nearby caves tomorrow. There’s rumour of several interesting fungal species—”
“Aha! You just want to go exploring sodding caves, collecting samples! Merlin! Can’t you leave work behind for one weekend?”
“We’re in the vicinity! It makes sense to investigate the area!”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake! Fine, go collect your…fungi, I’ll stay here. Alone. In this nice, warm bed.”
“What…what are you doing?”
“I’m wanking. Has it been that long since you’ve seen me do it?”
“But…that’s not fair!”
“Sure it is. If I have to stay in bed alone, I may as well make it fun—Oof! Oi, you’re heavy!
“You should have considered that before you exposed yourself to me. What did you think would happen?”
“I thought you wanted to explore the local attractions?”
“I am.”
“Mmm, yeah, that’s nice…so you’re not…fuck, Severus!…leaving?”
“I thought perhaps we could both make the eleven o’clock tour.”
“Works for me.”
