Oh, shit, he had gotten the name wrong. At least the constable seemed good natured about it.
"That's me," Noble confirmed. "I remember you now, Dorset." He grinned. He didn't know why, other than the explosion at the Florist Potts, the constable's first association with him would be with Daffodil. But maybe that was it — maybe Dorset and Daffodil had trauma-bonded after the explosion that evidently involved both of them. Noble felt another flash of jealousy. He needed to get the topic away from Daffy, though — because this constable remembered him as Daffodil Potts' potions tutor, and because Noble had no real reason other than Daff for being on the sidewalk tonight. (Well — Daff and his fictional friend.)
"I think I was a year or two above you?" Noble asked. Dorset hadn't been a Gryffindor, he was pretty sure, so at least they'd never shared a common room — so Noble's memory hadn't gotten too bad, yet.
