Don't be like that
Rufus smiled. "I always said that if things went wrong, I would take over."
Cornelius scowled. "That's all you can say? I'm about to resign and all you can think about is yourself, Rufus?!"
Rufus sighed. "Come on, don't be like that. I was only joking."
Cornelius muttered, "Where did I go wrong?"
Rufus said, "You stuck with your gut and not many are brave enough to do that, Cornelius."
Cornelius replied, "Well, there's nothing that can be done about it now. So, I guess that I will help you become Minister for Magic."
Rufus beamed, "That's what I like to hear, but no cheating."
Cornelius smirked. "Me, cheat? I would never do that, my dear Rufus."
Rufus laughed. "If you say so, but I actually came here for another reason."
Cornelius insisted, "Go on."
Rufus mumbled, "I wanted to say how much you mean to me, Cornelius. Not just as a best friend because you're far more than that to me. You're the light of my life and I love you."
Cornelius grinned. "I feel the same way, but I think that it's best if we keep this between us until you're in here anyway."
