Private Message to Daphne

[alt_pansy]

That last mailing from the St Mungo's Association sounded positively desperate. I think Diana Derrick was depending on getting loads of help from Aunt Narcissa when she volunteered to take charge of the gala, and now she's stranded and thoroughly regretting it.

Were you asked to serve on a gala committee? Apparently, she found out that I was 'good with musicians,' so I'm helping with that. Only I'm not sure who else is, so it might be just me, which is utterly mad. And she's already wheedling me to donate something 'specially made' from Whizbangs. Of course.

And the invites for rising 6th years aren't supposed to go out until November, which means that we'll be bellyaching over them for months and months at this rate.

Oh, I was asked. I'm not thrilled about it, because I'd much rather help Gerald with his workshops, but I'm still holding on to slim hope that I'll be Head Girl, and with that in mind, I agreed to join the committee.

I suppose it's all for a good cause, but ugh, so boring.

You've got a fighting chance on that front. At least I think so. You'd be far better suited for it, at least. And less wrapped up in council business, too.

Besides. Patil's involvement with what happened to Thomas has to colour things somewhat.

Do you think Ginny has a chance at the auxiliary? I suppose that in her case, waiting until November might work in her favour. It'll give a chance to let things settle somewhat. Honoria's a shoe-in, and we might plant the idea that the two of them could get a lot of work done together. It'd probably still be difficult, though.

They could colour things in her favour. You never know.

I don't mean this to be rude, but: I don't think so. Perhaps if Honoria argues for it, but otherwise I think that Ginny just isn't what one thinks of when they think of the auxiliary. She's pure blooded, yes, and she's been a model and such, but she really hasn't established herself as being involved in larger community activities, and neither has most of her family.

[alt_pansy]

Yes, I can see that. I think of all of them, she'd have the best chance, and perhaps if things worked out differently with Percy, or Fred and George had a bit more time to establish themselves, it'd be different.

And you heard Siz. If Dolohov has a say, I don't think it's a given by any stretch.
