Private message to Pansy

[alt_draco]

I told Blaise that I have an essay to write, and that's why I'm not down in the common room celebrating. I've gone to the library, instead. So if anyone else asks, could you just tell them that I spent so much time working on the banners and flags that I got behind in my homework?

Father's furious with me. Harry, too. He almost seemed as angry as he was when we freed that stupid hippogriff. I suppose in that case I'm lucky that all he did was order me to write an essay on the inferiority of mudbloods. Normally that would be easy enough, but he says if it's not thorough or convincing that he's going to talk to Mr Tenebridge about taking my name off the credits for "Hey, Hey Merlin." He also said I have to Anyway, hopefully that won't happen.

Harry's been punished too, by the way. But I wouldn't ask him about it, if I were you.

Yeah.

I can see how that would be frustrating for you.

Sorry, I'm whinging again.

I'm working on the essay now that supper's over. Father wants it by tomorrow or else "Hey, Hey Merlin" is all yours. There could be worse things, I suppose?

It's a good thing I can write for inches and inches about how inferior mudbloods are. Those first few years of muggle studies were good for something, at least.

Speaking of, I might have to have a talk with Granger about all of this - next week, when she's allowed to talk again. I think I can get her on my side and if we approach Harry together, well, maybe we'll get somewhere.

Who knew the Carrows would be useful for something?

Talking to her does sound like a start.

And I'll have you know that even if your name isn't on there properly, it's still yours and mine. At least that's how I'll always think about it.

I've a feeling that part of the reason father threatened to take my name off it is because he doesn't approve of my playing guitar in the first place.

I guess that's just my way of being contrary, heh.

[alt_pansy]

And don't be silly.

I'd much rather think of it as "confiding" rather than "whinging." You can confide in me whenever you want. I don't mind one bit.

I'm just glad you find me worth confiding in.

[alt_draco]

Likewise, I hope you know.

So. Next time we go to Hogsmeade, let me buy you a butterbeer, yeah? And maybe we could go

[alt_pansy]

I'd like that.
