I held the two quadruplets not being nursed, who complained at high decibels, which woke the twins strapped to the blue panda. They joined the caterwauling and made the din almost intolerable.

“Fleur,” I said, “we need to discuss a matter of national security.” She made a pinched face and shook her head. “There’s a plot of some kind,” I said louder, but she still couldn’t seem to hear me. “Various factions have, very suddenly, taken an interest in my ejaculate,” I shouted.

Harry bellowed, “I, for one, am not going to have fingers covered in cheese juice.” At that exact moment, Fleur passed the two quads she’d fed over to Isolde, and beckoned for me to hand her the others. Thus, the rotating restaurant had just fallen silent apart from his odd remark to Isolde. The human mind can imagine connections between any two random events, but something about the hostile gleam in Harry’s eye convinced me that his utterance had been somehow for my benefit.

A moment later, toad-like Harry hopped up from his seat and intercepted a waiter who was passing the large fountain in the center of the restaurant. Harry seized the startled server by his cummerbund and dragged him beneath the water.

Isolde shrieked, “Harry!”

I moved toward the fountain with the idea of rescuing the waiter, but Harry was already hauling him back up.

“Next time, don’t be so late with the cheese course!” Harry scolded his dripping victim. “I don’t care if it requires hurrying to and fro in the corridors or gesticulating to one another across the kitchen, you’ll do it!” Flecks of spittle adorned Harry’s drooping mustache.

“Harry,” Isolde cooed, “take it easy baby. We’re not in a hurry.”

“I like cheese,” Harry croaked. “I just really, really like cheese.”
