Private message to Auror Crouch
Dear Mr Crouch,
I was working on flower arrangements with my mother this morning - lillies and snapdragons, for a funeral - and while handling the various blossoms I was somehow brought back to that May in my third year, when you sent me a bouquet of red roses after I frantically wrote to you in my journal, fearing that my portrayal of you in the Hogwarts play had offended you to the bone.
I now know, of course, that such trifles would be more or less outside your concern.
Still, it was a thoughtful gesture; one I've yet to forget, in fact. I'm sure it's a memory you can hardly be bothered with, but do pardon a young lady for being sentimental - mostly for the foolish girl she once was.
Sincerely,
Daphne G. Greengrass

The trouble with flowers is that everyone has different ideas what they signify.

Ha, and yes. I dare say I won't ever associate red roses with their traditional meanings (romance, love, and respect) again, after that.
no subject
Romance belongs on stage. Best place for it.

Not that such information tells you one jot about how he'll measure up as a potential Auror. But yes, perhaps he shall surprise you. And if not, I'm sure that Hydra Lestrange will fill into that role nicely.
Oh, but romance always is a stage, isn't it? Trouble is, most people don't realise it. Pity for them.
