Private message to Daphne Greengrass

[alt_draco]

Daphs, I'm sure you've heard that Teddy's hosting a social tomorrow. Holiday with my parents got cut short unexpectedly, so I've decided to attend.

Would you do me the pleasure of being my plus-one again?

I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but since it's Teds, we might as well prepare ourselves for anything. If you'd just as well stay at home I won't take offence, though I can assure you that you'll be missed by many.

I doubt it's you that Pansy will be cross with.

I'm not saying that we should tell people we're dating, or anything like that. I wouldn't put you in that position. I was envisioning something more like when you and Blaise used to insist that you were "just friends" but nobody really quite believed it.

[alt_daphne]

Mm, I quite remember how to do that.

But Draco, isn't there a girl - any girl - that you well and truly fancy?

Or is it that getting over Pansy is harder than you thought? Only it was you who broke up with her, so I suppose I might have thought it meant that you'd started to fancy someone else...

[alt_draco]

If I well and truly fancied a girl there are very few things that would stop me from asking her out.

May I come round yours tomorrow? Say an hour before the party gets started...

[alt_daphne]

Are you-

That sounds perfect. My parents will be so thrilled to see you.

[alt_draco]

Brilliant - see you then.

[alt_draco]

Oh, another thing - do you reckon Moebius Ollivander's been invited?

[alt_daphne]

I'm not sure, but Teds doesn't seem the type to exclude him. "Anything goes," remember?

Why do you ask?

[alt_draco]

No reason. It'll be a pleasure to see him again.
