I'm too old for this
Horace's boyfriend Elphias is visiting him at work.
Horace grumbled. "I'm too old for this teaching malarkey."
Elphias smiled. "Maybe, but no one can teach potions like you. Not even Severus Snape, Merlin rest his soul."
Horace grinned. "You're right, my dear Elphias. I shall be teaching here until the day I die."
Elphias smirked. "I certainly hope not, Horace. I don't want you to be working here when you're eighty."
Horace sighed. "Making potions makes me happy and teaching others how to make them makes me even happier. I suppose that I must retire one day."
Elphias suggested, "Maybe you can create your own line of potions after you retire. That way you can hire proteges and still make potions."
Horace beamed, "What an excellent idea!"
Elphias replied, "I think that we will survive when we're retired."
Horace concurred, "We will be just fine."
