Private Message to Daphne Greengrass

I suppose you're packed and ready for term? The Welcome Feast can't come soon enough for me. Mother is... Mother. I suppose it's natural that we're finding it difficult. I should have taken a flat if I hadn't believed her when she said she needed my company.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I wish she'd find someone.

Actually, I wonder if I could persuade you to come out for an early supper with me on Friday and then go along as my plus-one to a soirée at Sophia Novello's. We needn't stay long if it's dull.

What do you say? I think it's fitting that the Slytherin Seventh-year Prefect should take the new Head Girl for a celebratory evening on the town. Who knows? We might make Whirl and give everyone something to chatter about when the next issue arrives with the post owls next week.

I'm sure it will all fade in time, only it's difficult now, with school starting and all. And to think Linus is Head Boy when we all know it would have been Draco. The comparison is laughable!

I do like your idea to memorialise him. Let's do that, shall we? Under a new moon, to signify new beginnings.

Oh, now you're just goading me to do something memorable at Sophia Novello's, aren't you? Be careful what you wish for, Blaise!

First new moon, we'll do it.
