That was one wicked party, mate. Don't get a big head, though - we let you clean us out at portkey, on account of it being your birthday. I think we should have more nights like that, though, portkey in the common room with just the lads, you know. Or girls, too, though I don't know of any who play portkey.

Daphs, brilliant planning, as usual. Maybe I'll let you throw a party for me someday, yeah?

Went a bit later than I expected, though, seeing as it was a school night. Might need to stop by the Matron's to get something for this headache.

Father told you???

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

Well, not in detail, dear. But yes, we do talk to one another about you on occasion.

Now, you needn't be embarrassed if you've found you fancy someone. I'm sure your father told you neither of us wishes to pressure you to make serious choices too soon.

So, who has caught your attention, then?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

I don't fancy her, but Father suggested I pay her some attention. I've learned she likes fashion, so, that's why I ask about the magazine contests.

Your father--

I'm not sure I understand your father at times, son.

Well. Now, don't take this to mean anything, darling, but is she a pureblood girl or not? Not that I'm judging, but the market is different, shall we say, for halfbloods. (And recall that I have become acquainted with several of the halfblood girls in your year, as well. So if it's one of them I may be able to provide more specific suggestions for you to pay her 'attention' as you put it.)

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

She's a pureblood. But she's also a... Weasley. It's the she-Weasley, alright?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

Ah.

Well.

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

Yes, well.

Yes, Miss Weasley as it happens is quite interested in fashion.

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

You said you don't fancy her, is that correct?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

It wasn't my idea! And of COURSE I don't fancy her. She's a little kid. And ginger. And WEASLEY.

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

We had rather a different view of her during your recent play. 'Little kid' is not, perhaps, quite the description I would use. Particularly compared to Hydra, for example.

But yes, all right. I think I know what your father's intentions are.

Well. It so happens that Purest Sparkle is about to announce a contest in this week's issue. It's something to do with spending the summer hols in style. I'm sorry, I'm not completely informed on the specifics, but I'm sure you can find someone who takes a subscription. (In fact, I know that Mrs Brown set great store by the subscription she gave Miss Lovegood, so perhaps her own daughter receives it as well.)

You might alert Miss Weasley to the possibility of entering and see if you can procure a copy of the announcement on her behalf.

Is that the sort of thing you can use?

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

Yes, Mother. Though it means I'll have to talk to Brown first. About fashion and magazines. That ought to be just brilliant, just the sort of thing I had hoped to chat with her about.

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_narcissa]

Dear, me. Your life is so difficult, is it?

I thought you liked Miss Brown.

You could simply abandon the quest, I'm sure. Or simply tell Miss Weasley and leave obtaining the terms of the contest to her.

Re: Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy

[alt_draco]

I do like her. What will she make of me asking to borrow her latest issue of Purest Sparkle, I wonder.

I don't know. I'll figure it out.
