Private message to Draco Malfoy

[alt_daphne]

I left everything at the foot of her bed this morning, just as you asked! And then I had to leave straight away - I wasn't sure I would be able to keep a straight face when she woke up and saw it all.

Really, Draco...earrings? And emerald, at that! They're far more rare and precious than diamonds, you know. When are you going to finally up and ask her to be your girlfriend?

Good then. I missed her at breakfast...she must have been opening everything, and then I had to leave early to return some books.

I didn't know that about diamonds, I only know that emeralds go with Slytherin colours, and that they match that ring she wears around her neck sometimes - you know, the one that her Father left her.

Didn't Blaise give you earrings for Christmas? Last I checked, you're not his girlfriend.

But I might ask

[alt_daphne]

I'm sure that she'll love them to absolute pieces.

Blaise and I have given each other special gifts for years, Draco, you know that. It's a sign of our enduring friendship.

[alt_draco]

Yes, yes, special and enduring. You just might want to see to it that Bole doesn't catch on...that is, if you've gone and sent Blaise something "special" for Valentine's Day. Because I've a feeling he'd not find it so very quaint.

[alt_daphne]

I've sent you something for Valentine's Day as well, Draco. And all the other students in our year. Just as I always do! It's tradition, after all, and one can scarcely argue with that.

[alt_draco]

Since you mention tradition, I've been meaning to tell you that I miss reading your journal posts, Daphs. You know, the ones where you offer your special perspective on all the goings-on in the castle, or come up with some grand design to make Slytherin take the lead in any number of ways. Haven't been many of those in a while.

[alt_daphne]

I suppose you're right, there haven't been.

I'll see what I can do then. Only for you, of course!
