Millie,

Since you loomed over me at breakfast, waiting for Elizabeth and Antigone to budge over for you, I gather that you've failed to realise that I am, once again, no longer speaking to you.

it was a joke

how should i know marvollo would take it that way???

[alt_daphne]

How exactly is anything about Black meant to be funny? And now you've got Auror Lestrange asking about you, too! You ought to have a better sense of self-preservation than that. You are a Slytherin, after all.

[alt_millicent]

well everybody knows it cant be true

so

it was suposed to be funny like that

but anyhow i know. im going to be very polite.

[alt_daphne]

Oh Millie, I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you, you see. I'm cross, too, but also worried. It is always better to be polite, you know. Rather like I am. You should just try to pretend that you're me when you talk, and then maybe things like this wouldn't happen.

[alt_millicent]

i know i oughtto. just sometimes things come out

anyhow you wouldnt like there to be two of you

[alt_daphne]

Ha, well you're right, I wouldn't much like, and really you'll always be you. It wouldn't be the same if you weren't. But if you try to think before you speak, it would help. I'm also cross with Marvolo for even posting about what you said, but I can't tell him I'm cross. Or maybe I should. He ought to think before he speaks or writes, too!
