Hey - I was catching up on my journal and noticed that Pansy wrote to both you and my Father last night.
You're making plans for my birthday, aren't you?
So, what's it going to be then? And look, no offense, but Pansy's usually good at this sort of thing, so just let her take lead, yeah?
Oh, but if you could dissuade her from inviting Longbottom, I'd appreciate it. I suppose Weasley would be alright, but Longbottom never contributes anything, just sits there like that blinking toad of his. It's entirely unnerving.

Now there's two grown men who are obsessed with you because of your parents. He'd just better be able to teach you, is what I'm saying. Or else what's the point?
I've no clue why he doesn't like us dating. I held off on telling him because I thought he and Mother might be excited and start planning our wedding way before we're ready, or something nutty like that, but he's not like that at all. He hasn't said much about it either way, but still, he doesn't seem pleased.

Date: 2012-05-23 01:05 am (UTC)Maybe that's why she's being a bit off. Because she knows why he's not happy about it? I don't know. I do know she likes you tonnes, though.
And she seems really happy.
Like happier than she's been in a really long time.
Maybe we could go together or something. To meet with Milland. And talk. I think it'd be ace if you learned , and I think you'd be really good at it too. And we could practise together.
And yeah, he's a little intense, and sort of weird, but he listens to you like you're a real person. Like Raz does.

Date: 2012-05-23 01:15 am (UTC)Hmm, I hadn't thought of that - of her feeling strange because of Father. Maybe I'll bring it up with her.
And hey - you know, I bet after you thump Diggory in the final task that Chang will finally see the light and ask you to take her out for a butterbeer this summer. Bet you fifty galleons.
I don't know... It'd be snitch to learn, but I don't trust him. He didn't make a vow about me, after all. And speaking of, isn't Raz going to wonder when you don't go to him for Occlumency lessons like you'd asked him about?

Date: 2012-05-23 01:25 am (UTC)I don't even know if he's a legilimens, but if he isn't one, there'd only be so much he could teach me. I guess if he did bring it up again, I'd probably just show him what I'd learnt so far, and he'd just assume I picked it up naturally, like Hydra did. Maybe. I hope. Unless he could see me learning from Milland, that is. But if he were a proper legilimens, I think he'd be a lot less worried about people finding out that he'd taught me, wouldn't he?
I don't know. I'd rather he not get into trouble, and just sort of find out I know it without his having to do anything.
And it would be snitch to learn.
I think it's okay to not trust him. Milland I mean. You've got a pretty big secret over him, don't you? So you've got some leverage. And I'd know if he did anything to you or something, and he'd know that'd make me angry and I'd stop going to him. So because we're good friends and he wants to stay on my good side, I think it'd work out. As long as we're careful.
And I think it might be best to learn from someone no-one knows about, you know? So no-one knows you know how to do it?

No, scratch that. I see why you prefer Milland.
And I suppose we both have the upper hand, when you put it that way. If he does something to me it would kind of like be hurting you, too, so it might put his vow in jeopardy.
I might be willing to meet with him, at least.

Date: 2012-05-23 01:28 am (UTC)I have enough trouble dating one.
Maybe you're right about the butterbeer, though. I'm glad I told them to go to the Yule ball, because Diggory's been really helpful during the cup at least. And it would've been awful to take someone who didn't want to go with me.
