What the blazes

[alt_draco]

Was that all about? For those of you who weren't in Professor Raz's dueling session this afternoon, Millie and Daphne had some kind of row that ended with Daphs in a fury and Millie's face all purple and bulging. It looked she'd been dipped in a pot of porphyry fruit jam. Ugh, hopefully there won't be any porphyry tarts at supper tonight. I don't think I could stomach them after that.

I'm dead confused, I don't mind saying. Is this some kind of pent-up Yule Ball aggression coming out? Daphs can be a pretty wicked duelist but she's typically more controlled than that, and certainly pretty forgiving of Millie - no matter what she does.

Private message to Draco

Merlin knows we've all wanted to hex Milli a few times, but that was so completely unlike Daphne I'm a bit worried about her.

Even when she loses her temper it's normally a bit more ... controlled, I guess? You know, she'll decide to lose her temper to make a point and show she's serious.

And there was nothing wrong this morning, so far as I noticed. Daphne was a little irritable but who isn't when they've just got up?

I was just asking Blaise if he thinks Bole might be having an effect on her. Merlin knows his mood can flip on a knut. But then they've only just recently started spending time together, haven't they?

Yeah, as far as I know they'd never spent much time together before she announced they were going together to the Yule Ball.

I suppose it might be his influence. Maybe she's always seemed steadier before because she was spending time with Blaise?

Possibly. I mean, she's always sort of prided herself on being the only "adult" in the room, but I never thought it was something she picked up from Blaise.

Well, you and Pansy will do your best not to set her off, I'm sure.
