Private message to Draco Malfoy

[alt_daphne]

Hullo, Draco! How are your hols going? It's very quiet here in Belgravia... well, no more quiet than usual, but it seems that way after the excitement of school. You know, with OWLs and all those other things all happening at once near the end.

I was wondering: are you planning to attend the social at Avery's tomorrow? Only you haven't been going to them so I wasn't sure...

Well, you probably know that they're boys only, but girls can be invited along as plus ones. Trinc Moran's asked me to be his date, and I'm not sure I fancy that. Lizzie says that Richard told her he's looking for a wife to settle down with. Holda knows how he got the idea that I would make any kind of good wife!

If you are planning to attend, might you consider taking me as your date? Only as friends, of course - I don't want Pansy to be cross with me. And I'm sorry to put you out by asking in such a forward way, but I think I'd feel more comfortable with you, because... well, I don't have to say why, do I?

Let me know, won't you?

Fondly,
Daphne

You feel more comfortable with me because I'm better looking than Moran, is that it?

But to answer your question, yes, I was planning to go to Avery's. I'd be more than happy to escort you as my plus one. I hope you're prepared for the talk that's sure to follow, though, as we'll undoubtedly be the most glamorous pairing there. We might even end up in the papers.

Why are you worried about Pansy being cross? We've been broken up for ages, you realise.

You're alright about Weasley and Sally Anne, aren't you?
