ORDER ONLY: Private Message to Ron

[alt_pansy]

Cal Pummel's well into his cups.

Moreso than you'd expect this early in the evening.

I think he might be adjusting badly to Professor Sinistra's recent escape. He and Raz were close, after all.

Either that, or he's just being an arse.

Anything interesting happening around you?

Can I take you for a spin on the dance floor, or is it strictly business for you tonight?

If you can manage to scribble anything back, that is! You are looking so very official and everything.

[alt_pansy]

You're looking so official I might just have to come over and make faces at you later.

[alt_ron]

Ha. That'd be better than Baddock wandering by and insulting me about my shoes. Seriously. My shoes.

Whatever.

And, yeah, Pummel's completely pissed. Carew's tried talking him down, but I don't think it did any good. Not sure what's likely to happen there, except I'm intending to stay out of it. That's trouble I don't need, yeah?

[alt_pansy]

Yeah.

And Baddock's like that with everyone. I can't believe I used to fancy him.

[alt_ron]

Well.

You do have slightly dodgy taste in blokes.

Just sayin.

[alt_pansy]

Whatever you say, tuna lips.

[alt_ron]

I mean, are you sure it's never been Fred... y'know?

Dodgy. I'm telling you.

[alt_pansy]

I bet you a galleon that I'd have just as good a record as you, if not better. George has that freckle right above his

...never mind.

And Fred has a wicked sense of humour, but not that wicked. And he knows I'd hex him into next week, besides.

[alt_ron]

Freckles can be charmed.

So you know.


But, of course, I'm sure they wouldn't ever-

[alt_pansy]

Ooooh, you're awful.

No, they wouldn't, ever, thank you very much. Not if either one wants to keep their bollocks intact.

[alt_pansy]

Speaking of Fred, though, we really ought to set him up with someone.

[alt_ron]

I always thought someone like Lavey-loo would be a laugh, but then she went and got all serious about Moon.

[alt_ron]

Mind you, you look rather nift tonight. All shiny and glowy.

Couldn't have anything to do with how George is looking, could it?

Well-snogged, I'd say.

If someone asked me.

Which they haven't.

Yet.

But I have seen loads of people wandering about with press badges on. And one of them might be interested. Possibly.

[alt_pansy]

Ooooh, Ron Weasley.

Mind, I've introduced him to mum already, which went better than expected, and Aunt Narcissa didn't look too shocked and dismayed when she fluttered by us an hour ago, so I doubt either would faint.

[alt_pansy]

Did you see Headmaster Dolohov? He looks like he's got the start of a headache, only he's trying very hard to hide it. Oooh, and Lady Percy's been talking his ear off for the last ten minutes at least. I might have to go over and rescue him.

Do you think he was trying to warn Evs the other day?

I wonder.

[alt_ron]

Ev thinks so.

I hope he does have a headache. Really.

[alt_pansy]

Me too.
