Private message to Ginny Weasley

[alt_daphne]

Dear Ginny,

I don't believe we are very well acquainted, so I hope you don't mind if I call you Ginny. Only I wanted to let you know how impressive I thought your audition for Karoline's play was. Certainly your audition was the best of the 2nd years, though Luna Lovegood's was certainly not without flair. I thought it also quite bold of you to read the lines for Auror Lestrange since so few people under the age of fifteen did, thinking they had not enough bearing to pull off her impressive and imposing demeanor. The black hair was a brilliant touch, as well. Have you had any acting or dancing lessons before?

I don't know about you, but I'm simply about to burst, waiting around to hear the results of the casting call! I really don't doubt that I'll get a part, and I am quite convinced that you will, too. Did you have a favourite audition? I thought my sister Astoria did well, but she's so slight and small that I can't imagine what role she could secure. Electra Bobolis was quite splendid, but she needn't be so smug about it, don't you think?

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say! I hope you have a lovely evening.

Daphne?... Miss Greengrass?,

Yes, you may call me Ginny. I was very surprised by your message, and didn't know how to respond. Please forgive the delay, and thank you for your compliments. No, unfortunately I have never had lessons of any kind. I wish I could have, but being the youngest of seven my parents can't... Anyway I find that much of my acting a dancing abilities come to me naturally. I tend to just dance around or recite in the mirror at home and have always had a thing for imitations.

As far as my audition when I read through the script, I felt if I was going to do it at all I might as well do it properly and try for one of the most beloved characters.

I, too, cannot wait for them to post the parts. I will be happy to play almost any part as I don't think they would allow 2nd years any major roles. I know you will be a definite pick for the play, you recited ever so well. In fact, I would have to say that your audition was my favourite. I think there is much I could learn from you, or at least from watching you. Your sister did very well too. In my opinion, Bobolis' smugness is a sign of poor showmanship; therefore she is not that great of an actress. Over all, it was a decent turnout for auditions.

I hope your week goes well.

Ginny W.

Call me Daphne, of course. I suppose it is rather a rare thing, isn't it, when Slytherins send private messages to Gryffindors out of the blue? But I find it's good to think ahead on these things, because if we both do end up with parts, then it would be nice to have someone to help us learn our lines, yes? I've taken lessons in singing, dancing, and acting from the time I could walk, practically. I'd be happy to share a tip or two with you sometime, though I do agree that you have a natural proclivity toward performance that will be of great help to you when you get your part.

Well, I only hope that Finnigan is right and they post the results tomorrow. I'm going to go down a check first thing before breakfast.

Yes, I guess it is a rare to receive a private message from a Slytherin, though I didn't think on it that way. It is sad that its rare though. But very few Gryffindors know how to act properly. I have been trying hard to curb my temper, so its getting better. I do agree, that it would be nice to have someone to learn lines with, and would be great to work with you. I would love to know if I've made the cut or not. Maybe I will go down early too. It is a stressful situation.

I think there are plenty of fine, upstanding Gryffindors, it's just that the ones who aren't so fine tend to really stand out.

Perhaps I'll see you early in the Great Hall, then.
