Oh, but Harry doesn't mind that at all. He's pleasantly surprised, in fact. He supposes it has something to do with Neil not knowing much about his past. Boys used to be a lot more pliant around him. He doesn't think they should be, but he's not sure he can blame them for it. He did loose his temper sometimes, even if he did regret it.

But this is playful and careless and he likes it very much, so he lets himself be guided to the bedroom.

The dog is shooed off the bed, but stays in the room and that's fine. "Cute dog you have," he says, but he has better things to concentrate on and he tugs at his own tie to remove it.
