Private message to Ginny Weasley

[alt_draco]

Hey G. Weasley,

I've heard Daphs say that you're interested in fashion. Quite a few other girls in Slytherin are as well, and I've heard them talking... apparently, there's a contest running in Purest Sparkle for a summer "fashion forward" prize. The entry form is in the latest issue. I don't know if you subscribe, but if my memory is correct, your mate Lovegood does, on account of the Browns buying it for her.

I wanted to beat Daphs to telling you about it, since I reckon I owe you for PMing in your journal. Even if you're still hacked off about that you should enter - the prize includes an appointment with the same salon my Mother visits from time to time. They do top-notch work.

From,
Draco Malfoy

Um, Thanks I guess!?!

I am much confused. Why would you care if I was annoyed by you PMing in my journal? I guess that's an apology of sorts, but its something I am sure Malfoys give few of.

I guess I will look into this contest since you were nice enough to inform me of such. But why do you care? What are you looking to gain? There must be something, else you would never go out of your way to talk to me or send me a message even.

I do have one request for you. Please don't use my last name. If you must reference it at all do call me Ginny W. Weasley is so unbecoming.

Thanks again for the information about the contest. I don't know why you have taken notice that I like fashion, but I will consult Luna, and send in a submission.

Ginny W.

Alright, Ginny W.

You're a right suspicious one, aren't you? As I recall, it was you who was Owling up my family last summer, including my parents and cousin. I don't suppose you were trying to "gain" anything by that, were you? Not that I take offence, because I don't.

Look, it's pretty apparent you've been trying to make friends with those of our house, and Daphs says you're cool. You know, different. I'm not entirely sure if that's true yet, seeing as you've just insulted me, but apparently you've got some kind of temper. Fortunately, I'm not as easily offended as people think.

I just think if people want to prove themselves they should be given a chance, that's all. And I include myself in that statement, too.

At any rate, I hope you win something from the contest.

Touché,

I didn't mean to insult. But I do see your point. Thank you for your...kindness. One must always be on their guard. I know people don't expect much good from... but as you have said every one deserves the chance to prove themselves.

And no, I wasn't trying to gain anything, I just merely had some questions. I guess I should try not to assume. My temper cannot always be helped, but it seems I have created no injury. I shall remember this conversation if there are any other messages shared between us.

Thanks again for the notice about the contest.

Ginny W.

There, then. It seems we both walk away from this with no wounds. Perhaps there's promise for future conversations after all.
