Attention

[alt_daphne]

I am not engaged.


There is nothing between Auror Crouch and myself.


And I am fourteen years (and seven months) old, not thirteen.


Have a lovely day, everyone.

Wait.

Really?

[alt_daphne]

Really.

I find it touching that you are so interested in my personal life, Moon, but please know that on the day I am engaged (if in fact I ever am) I will make the announcement myself.

[alt_linus]

ohhh no

um

I thought maybe you'd just told some people and they told other people but

I'm really, really, really sorry. Should I go say I'm sorry on my journal too?

OH NO

AUROR CROUCH

[alt_draco]

Wait a tick, Daphs; I have it on good authority from everyone who is not you that you are, in fact, engaged - so how can it be that you're not?

[alt_daphne]

Oh, it's quite simple - everyone else is wrong, see?

[alt_draco]

Hm. Are you quite certain that you're not engaged without your own knowledge?

[alt_daphne]

Well now, let's see... are there any signs I should look for?

[alt_draco]

A ring on the finger is often an early symptom, I'm told.

[alt_daphne]

My fingers are bare - proof that I'm not engaged without my own knowledge! What a relief, you were beginning to worry me.

[alt_draco]

I'm happy to put your worries to rest. Hopefully, it'll put everything else to rest, too.

[alt_padma]

I told you.

Greengrass, I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all this nonsense.

I asked Parkinson about the roses because someone told me you were sending them back. And I meant to ask you in person but this week just sort of got away, you know? I mean, we had sooo much homework and then Madam Pince has been an utter gorgon lately, I mean, more than usual even, and by then I'd forgot all about it until this morning when Lines here congratulated you.

Honestly. Anyone knows that when girls get engaged there's a proper announcement about it.

[alt_daphne]

It's just too bad that "flowers" turned into "engagement" at some point. Hard to imagine how that could have happened, but trust a Hufflepuff to take it there and run.

Sorry Daphs. I forgot about your age. But at least I didn't think you were engaged.
