“The campy-listening thing, I think, is false. I don’t think that there is any such thing, actually. This happens with age, that at some point you might have told yourself and others that you listened to the Backstreet Boys because it was funny. But in fact, you were enjoying it; it’s just a different kind of enjoyment for you. But I don’t think that ironic-distance appreciation is actually a different or lesser appreciation. I think most of that irony is an attempt to say, “These aren’t exactly my kind of people, and I don’t picture myself sounding like that, but I still like it.” I don’t believe in ironic appreciation. I think if you like something, the core of it is you like it.”

You have such a fine throat, m’sieu, like a column of marble. When you came through the door retaining about you all the golden night of a summer’s day of which I know nothing, nothing, the card called “Les Amoureux” had just emerged from the tumbling chaos of imagery before me; it seemed you had stepped off the card into my darkness and, for a moment, I thought you might irradiate it.
I do not mean to hurt you. I will wait for you in my bride’s dress in the dark.

But how would the twins even know the relevance of that?
Well they might not, but y’know, they had to wonder “Who the hell is that guy running around with Ron?”
It wouldn’t surprise me if the Marauders had a…
Good answer, but the fact that JKR’s never mentioned why this wasn’t in text. Wow.
