It's true that you are better looking than him, and I know you better, besides. I know that you don't mean it - that you're an actor. You'd never hurt someone, especially a girl. Or anyone else who's weaker.

I know a little bit about what you all do. I mean, not really, but I know you do something. And I haven't asked because I'm not sure I want the details. Sally Anne knows that she can ask me for help, if it's needed, and that I won't ever ask for the details. I think we should probably keep it that way.

But it feels a little lonely, at times. And Ron and Sally Anne...well, I'm happy for them, truly. That doesn't mean I want to have to see it with my own eyes just yet. So if you and I do get written up in the papers, I'll be sure to tell Pansy we only went as friends. Not because I don't want her to be cross, but because I don't want her to feel hurt.

Well, that all sounds a bit soppy! I liked it better when I was asking you because we'd make a terribly glamorous couple.
