"I've got something to discuss with you," he stated, ignoring her "offering" to him. He sat down in a chair and pointed to another one near him. "Come sit over here and we can talk— if you wish, I mean. You don't have to move from where you are if you don't want to." He purposely avoided using the words "your spot", not wanting Hermione to think that he had assigned her a specific place to await his orders in. Tonks advised him that he had to be extremely careful of what he said to Hermione. Especially when describing things that belonged to her.
