Private Message to Draco Malfoy

[alt_blaise]

Is there anything about Chimaeras in the books you took out of the library? I thought I'd get a bit further on this Creatures essay, but I can't find anything about preferred diet or what things make them ill. And I could use something more descriptive about their mating habits. Or maybe they're not meant to reproduce?

Drat it. I think I may need to go back to the library if your sources don't have any more than mine do.

The book I'm using says that you both feed and tend to a chimaera "based on which of its disparate parts is the dominant." Tricky, that. I reckon Brutka was trying to get one over on us with this assignment.

I'll need the book for a bit longer tonight, but you can have it after.

[alt_blaise]

That's all right, then. I can work on it tomorrow, too. No worries.

Actually, I've a letter I should get off. So, really, no rush.

What's Weasley on about?

Just shouting to hear himself?

[alt_draco]

I'm harassing his sister, apparently.

Reckon it didn't occur to him that she might welcome attention that came from someone other than a Weasley, or a Loony.

He's about a breath away from challenging you to duel, you know.

Not that that wouldn't be hilarious. Mostly to see how much it would humiliate Ginger.

[alt_draco]

As if I would lower myself. Or give him the satisfaction.

I've stopped responding to him. You know what they say - always leave a Gryffindor stewing.

[alt_blaise]

Saw that. Of course, you're right.

Notice that he stopped answering me. Cares more about you, I'd say. Lucky.


You know, I think I'm going to change topic. I think I can do more with the cockatrice.
