Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

Boys are such boys sometimes.

The way Draco is sulking, you'd think I'd slapped him in the face, and he takes offence so easily that everything I do that isn't for him is some sort of personal insult, and Ron's been going all wonky too.

It almost makes me think I ought to have left off altogether, if I would've known they would take things so seriously. I mean, the twins had loads of fun and left it at that.

Ugh.

Is Draco really cross with you? I mean he gets cross anytime you act friendly with Ron but really, I'd think he'd be pleased you kissed him considering Ron found the whole thing too embarrassing for words (at least he said he did and he turned redder every time someone new kissed him).

Do you think Draco fancies you? I thought he kind of thought of you like a cousin. A first cousin, I mean. (You know, I was thinking, that's probably why Daphne is so pleased with herself for snagging Blaise. He's a pureblood AND he's not any sort of cousin to her at ALL. How often does THAT opportunity come along?)

[alt_pansy]

Do you think he might?

I mean, he's either really sweet or really cross with me depending, and I guess sometimes that could mean that someone likes you, but I thought he thought I was sort of like a cousin too. Even though we aren't. He just treats me like such a baby sometimes, I can't see how he'd possibly think of me like that. But maybe that's part of it too?

He's so touchy, it's hard to figure him out sometimes. Right now, he's sulking and told me that he knows who my "real friends are," but I'm not about to apologise for doing something as harmless as that, so we'll have to figure something else out.

But do you? Think he might fancy me?

Well, it's not like you'd stopped speaking to Ron this year and yet Draco manages to turn a blind eye to that most of the time. And then you kissed him and all of a sudden THAT was a HUGE deal.

I don't know, he's never acted all that interested in any girl but hardly any of the boys in our year do, other than Blaise. But it would kind of explain it, don't you think?

[alt_pansy]

Yeah, it would.

That'd certainly make things more complicated.

[alt_pansy]

I even told him that it wasn't like we were dating or anything, so it wasn't like he had a say in who I kissed or not, but that only made him sulkier.

And you're right about the twins. They were practically selling tickets.

Actually the best part was how utterly infuriated it made Percy, I think. I felt a little bad for Ginny, until she started hexing people, clearly she can take care of herself!

[alt_pansy]

You've got that right. I wouldn't want to cross wands with her any time soon. And seeing Percy with his knickers in a twist was all worth while, even though Clearwater got all bothered about it too, and she's okay.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, you've gotten to know her better because of the things you've been doing to help backstage with the play, haven't you? She doesn't seem awful. Not like some of the prefects.
