Private Message to Daphne Greengrass and Draco Malfoy

[alt_blaise]

Do either of you know where Perks is? Well, and Pansy, too, for that matter.

Only, I need Perks to sign off on the report before our group hands it in. Rotten day for her to skive off lessons.

Pansy's gone ill or something, and Perks is minding her. She was fine at Breakfast, so maybe it was something she ate. I feel fine myself, but then I had to get to the library after bolting down some toast, so I didn't have much to eat.

[alt_blaise]

Well, and they were at lunch, too.

If anything was the matter then, I didn't notice, but then I was looking over that Dark Arts chapter again.

That's well complex, that hex we're working on. I wasn't much clearer after she explained it than I was going in. What about you?

[alt_draco]

Oh, they were? I wonder what Harry and I had tea with Raz, instead, so I never noticed.

Maybe it's some kind of girl thing?

That's why went for the library this morning. I've got a copy of Intermediate Charm Intricacies but it hasn't helped much yet.

[alt_blaise]

You're probably right about it being a girl thing. I've heard they get on the same schedule, too, somehow. So they've probably both got it today.

It's a nuisance, though, to have them disappearing when you need them.

Maybe we could go over the wand work on that spell tonight. If you've got time. I felt as if I'd just almost got it before Carrow made us stop and move on to the next thing.

Does it seem as if the clock is going half-speed now we're in Charms? I mean to say, Acton on Friday afternoon with Gryffindor? Merlin.

It was all over the papers this morning that Kirley Duke's engaged to that model, Ciara Hitchens. I don't think it's something to fall to pieces over myself, but she used to fancy him something terrible, a few years ago.

[alt_blaise]

That's utterly daft.

Missing lessons to moan over some musician's getting married? I'm glad no one told Acton that. Think how many points she'd have docked Slytherin for the two of them.

[alt_daphne]

I don't know if that's it for sure, only she didn't look ill to me - more upset than anything, and I couldn't think about what. But Sally Anne told me that she's feeling sick, so I suppose that must be it after all...or else there's something secret going on between those two, as usual.
