Those were so not I love you flowers. Those were I messed up flowers. You could just tell.

Well, yesterday was Diggory's birthday, wasn't it?

How do you mess up your OWN birthday?

[alt_pansy]

I've no idea. All I know is that Cho Chang must be the thickest Ravenclaw I've ever known if she ends up dumping Diggory.

[alt_sally_anne]

I know! He's utterly fit AND a good Quidditch player. What more does she want?

[alt_pansy]

...Apparently an ugly, fat loser who wouldn't think to send flowers.

Too bad Greg's probably going to make our team, otherwise, it'd be a match made in heaven.

[alt_sally_anne]

Ha!

Okay, Milli was here just now and said that she was in the Hospital wing yesterday to get a sleeping potion from Madam Pomfrey and Diggory was there all yesterday evening with Anne Cadwallader. Because she crashed during practice, which explains the sling. I guess Zach Smith ran into her? Anyway I bet Diggory had plans with Chang and stood her up.

So I can sort of see why she was cross but you'd think she'd be a little more understanding. If Harry got hurt and Draco went with him to the Hospital wing and missed a date with you, would you throw a tantrum over it? I can't see it.

[alt_sally_anne]

Greg certainly qualifies as ugly and fat and I'm not sure he's aware that flowers exist.

[alt_pansy]

Maybe she was jealous? Of Cadwallander? Which is sort of silly. I mean, they are teammates, so they're bound to spend time together. Getting jealous about that is a waste of energy.

Getting angry because someone was being thoughtful and decent towards someone else is definitely ridiculous.

If anything, she should've gotten him flowers, for having to handle a teammate's getting hurt and having his birthday spoiled because of it.

[alt_pansy]

Or, you know, whatever you get boys instead of flowers.

I've found snogging to be a decent substitute.

[alt_pansy]

That would explain his awful Herbology marks.

[alt_sally_anne]

Exactly!

He seems so decent and thoughtful and caring. I would think he'd be a really good boyfriend.

[alt_sally_anne]

What was it that woman got her lover in that dreadful 'Profundis' book? Some sort of leather harness thing with special enchantments or ... whatever it was.

(I'd go with snogging over the leather whatsit.)

[alt_pansy]

Whatever it was, it did not sound as if it would be even remotely fun.

Snogging, on the other hand, is.

So yes, we are in rather firm agreement.

...pun intended.

[alt_pansy]

Well, maybe he'll be available soon, and you can find out.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm not a Quidditch player, a pureblood, or a Ravenclaw, so whatever attracted him to her, I think it's rather unlikely he'd go for me as afters. I think I'm going to have to stick to longing from afar.

[alt_pansy]

It's not that much of a stretch, you know. After all, you did go to the Yule Ball with an international quidditch star. And besides, Hufflepuffs aren't hung up on blood status.

And you're brilliant and sweet and lovely. If I were a boy, I'd date you.

[alt_sally_anne]

There are Hufflepuffs who are hung up on blood status, look at Zach Smith.

It's too bad you aren't a boy, I bet you'd make a great boyfriend! (But poor Draco. He'd be stuck with Milli.)

[alt_sally_anne]

But if you were a boy we couldn't be roommates.

Wouldn't be worth it, anyway.

[alt_pansy]

Zach is only a Hufflepuff because the other houses wouldn't have him. There's a difference.

(I can just see his face! Oh dear. No amount of leather harnesses could right that wrong.)

[alt_pansy]

I can't wait for our New London flat. It will be so very utterly brilliant. We will throw the best parties, and have fresh flowers every week just because, and go for gloriously long walks and picnics in Kensington.

[alt_sally_anne]

Point!

Diggory's clever enough to be a Ravenclaw and brave enough to be a Gryffindor.

Zach Smith... lucky for him, Helga believed in taking everyone.

[alt_sally_anne]

I CANNOT WAIT.
