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

Sympathies for your loss. Didn't realise you were connected with the deceased.

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

Ought to have a look at how he's measuring up, then. Difficult to tell one intern from the next, but Weasleys do have a way of sticking out in a crowd. Not necessarily for distinguished performance.

Romance belongs on stage. Best place for it.
