Parents' Weekend Brunch, Sunday Morning to Afternoon, The Park

As was traditional, the start of the end of Parents' Weekend featured plenty of food, benches, chairs, and coffee in the park. After all, the Student Council couldn't let the parents be weirded out one last time without a feast.

The sky was a little overcast, but the temperatures were still above normal, which was a lucky break for the final day of the weekend.

[OOC: Have fun!]

"I can see how that might be hard," she said, remembering their last conversation and feeling like she'd been conned into something without having been conned into anything. "Though I have to say, it probably helps him having a friend in the FBI who's actually looking out for him."

"He's basically a good guy. He took a lot of money, and created the most convincing forgeries I've ever seen, but he never hurt anyone directly. And very few people indirectly. Financial institutions took the hits, for the most part. But he sticks to his promises." Peter shook his head, smiling a little. "So what do you teach here? I didn't know what half of what he told me to believe, although his visual description of you was spot-on."

That was a little scary, actually. Now she wanted to know how she'd been described. "Social activism, most recently," she said. "I work at the law office now."

And because she felt it warranted saying, she added, "I think the office had fun pairing us together."

It had been a combination of the artistic (A Maxfield Parrish with Goya eyes), specific details, and the description of the expression on her face matching Peter's when she was thinking too hard. So, mostly flattering, if you took into account Neal's tendency to want to avoid rules or real work.

"I wouldn't be surprised," Peter said dryly. "Or they thought Neal needed to be sure someone would be able to post bail. Or at least tell him why not."

"It would be the second thing," Hermione said. Which had something to do with the fact that she did not make enough money to post bail.

"Good for you," Peter told her, meaning it. He considered, then pulled out his card -- Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Peter Burke, White Collar Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York City-- and said, "If you ever do need back-up, or he does get arrested. Or God forbid he goes missing or gets hurt? Please give me a call. That TA of his would just cover for him, the way she did when he 'turned into a cat.'" Peter was still not entirely sure he bought that. Even if there were photos.

By the way he said that, Hermione was not even going to tell him that she'd once turned Peter into a cat, too. "I'll do that," she said, taking the card.

"Thanks very much." Peter smiled. "It was nice talking to you, Miss Granger."
