Keeping busy

alt_dracoWent for a fly this morning for the first time in some weeks. I must say that while this year has been packed with new and interesting activities, I really do miss quidditch. I especially feel for the 7th years who were looking forward to playing out their final season, only to discover that they'd already played it back in 6th year. Bit rubbish, that. But I suppose it can't be helped.
Seems a few folks are still feeling a bit low that they've not been invited to that Beauxbatons soiree. All I can say to that is: really? It's just a bit of faculty-supervised tea and mingling, not the second coming of the Yule Ball. I can't speak for other Houses, but there's usually more interesting things than that going on in the Slytherin common room on Saturday nights. Dancing in the music alcove, or even just listening to the wireless, along with snap and portkey at the game tables. So if you're feeling left out, just grab a mate and make something happen.
Off to the YPL/CCF Planning meeting in a bit. See the rest of you lot there.

They might be pretty inept at socialising, but you can't really call them wallflowers. They ought to have left Weasley out of it, though. He's more irritating than Smith and Midgen combined.

Re: Private message to Draco
Date: 2012-01-21 06:32 pm (UTC)When we were little, I was given to Harry as his best mate.
And then when we came to Hogwarts they gave him Granger.
I don't know whose idea it was. His Father's, I suppose. Maybe it was after Harry was sorted into Gryffindor. He must've realised Harry would care more about keeping a mudblood girl out of trouble than he would a boy who was almost his equal.
Re: Private message to Draco
Date: 2012-01-21 06:36 pm (UTC)I wonderedDo you think you and Harry would have been mates, if you hadn't been given to him? If you'd just met him like one meets any other person?
Draco, Harry doesn't want anyone to get into trouble, not you and not Granger. But you aren't as vulnerable as she is, you must know that.

Re: Private message to Draco
Date: 2012-01-21 06:44 pm (UTC)I used to tell myself that we would have been friends no matter what. But I'm not as sure of that as I used to be. I like him, of course, but we're so different from one another in some ways. The differences are starting to show up more than they used to.
Of course I know it. It was brilliant, really, giving him Granger. He'd do almost anything to keep her safe.

Date: 2012-01-21 06:46 pm (UTC)I suppose you must resent her a little. I wouldn't blame you if you did.

Re: Private message to Draco
Date: 2012-01-21 06:51 pm (UTC)I don't resent her at all, actually. She's got no say in any of it.
I resent HIM. I can acknowledge that it's not exactly fair, but I can't make the feeling go away, either. No matter how many early mornings I spend flying.

Date: 2012-01-21 06:54 pm (UTC)I think maybe you're too angry to change yet, Draco.

Re: Private message to Draco
Date: 2012-01-21 07:00 pm (UTC)Anyway, I'd better go, I need to stop by to see Professor Sinistra before her meeting, and then go to Professor Vector's office.
Have a good day and I hope you feel better about things soon.
