Congratulations!

Daphs, that's excellent you got Auror Crouch. Really brilliant. And Draco, Scrimgeour should be a good role. Really distinguished and commanding. I can totally see why they thought to cast you for him.

And Harry! We'll make awesome traitors together, mate. Sirius Black, though. Phew! You must've been brilliant to land that. We'll have to practice being villains. Maybe I ought to grow a mustache for Shacklebolt. What do you think?

Guess not everyone was as pleased with their parts.

And then there are the ones that are too dim to have noticed they should be embarrassed. Can you see Weasley over there? Looks pleased to bits. Ha!

Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

I guess Stevens wasn't too happy being stuck in the chorus. I'd have expected a Slytherin to take the disappointment with a bit more dignity, though!

What were you writing to that Weasley chit last night? Having a bit of fun? I see she's down as a janitor. How appropriate!

Didn't you see her go all out for her Auror Lestrange role? Black hair, even! It got me to thinking about this summer when she wrote all though private messages to Hydra Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, and how the only brother she seems to spend a lot of time with is the Head Boy. I thought she might appreciate some companion options other than him and the rest of the Weasley lot, so I offered to give her some acting tips some time. Do you know that she told me most Gryffindors don't know how to behave properly? Of course, she might've just been putting on a show, but we'll see, won't we?

Do you think it would be too forward of me to ask Auror Crouch for advice on how to best portray him? I know that he's awfully busy, and I don't want to be a bother, but it could be helpful knowledge to have.

Well. She'll certainly be a project for you. It would be interesting to see whether you could get her to really turn on the rest of them. Don't be too disappointed, though, if she turns out to be just another Measley.

I think if you were to write him the right sort of very careful letter, he ought to be flattered. But do tell him that you know he might not have time to answer.

Perhaps he'd agree to speak to you by Floo, so you could do a bit of an interview with him.

One can't be disappointed if one's expectations aren't very high!

I'll start working on a letter tonight. I might have you look at it, to see if it's all right. Or maybe I'll see if Harry or Draco can have a quick glance, since they've actually spent time with him before.

Weasley's reaction to being cast as a doomed cat was just so embarrassing. Delightfully so.

Point taken.

You can run it past each of us. But I agree, it might be a good idea to ask Draco, especially.

So very true.

I do wonder what Patil thinks about being cast as a snake. And having to 'eat' Weasley. Pity she can't sing. I guess that really didn't leave them much choice where to cast her.
