Private Message to Seamus and Lav

[alt_padma]

I'm at St M's. Draco brought me but then he left.

I don't blame him. I made such a fool of myself.

Lakshmi, I'm so tired. I couldn't even sleep last night, I was writing poetry and thinking about ways to win him for myself, or kill Daphne. (Omigosh, Daphne! She probably hates me, I was so horrid!)

They said it had to have been a love potion or a love compulsion but they can't ever be sure unless someone else comes in with the same exact problem. It wasn't one of the commercially available potions, the Healers said. MLE were here just to take a statement but the Junior Auror said not to expect much in the way of investigation. There just isn't anything to investigate.

Haruman's been talking to them and the Healers and to Mum. They want to keep me for a while in case I relapse. But Pav brought me my journal, at least. So maybe I can think of something to say to him. Thank you for saving my life, for a start.


It was horrible.

Oh, Rama! BLAISE!!!

Oh, dear. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!

I just knew you weren't yourself.

[alt_seamus]

You're at St Mungo's?

I'm sorry, Padma. Are you okay? What was it that happened at the party?

[alt_padma]

I'm home now.

Did you read what I wrote at all? Someone slipped me a love potion. Or a love curse or something.

Didn't you notice me making a complete ass of myself to Malfoy?

And now Blaise has completely binned me, too. Which I just hope doesn't create trouble in our Noble Arts group but if it does, well, Flinch-Fetchley's doing most of the work, anyway.

I'll see you on the train tomorrow, right? And then we can talk about things.

[alt_seamus]

I did read it, but I wasn't sure how you thought you'd made a fool of yourself at the party. I guess I wasn't there for that bit. So wait, someone gave you a love potion to make you fall in love with Malfoy? Ugh, that's not on. I don't know why Blaise would be an ass about it, though, everyone knows people aren't responsible for what they do under those sort of influences.

Anyway, sure, we can sit together on the train. You don't mind if Remy sits with us, do you?

[alt_padma]

You weren't there when I pushed Daphne away from him and fell to my knees and declared my undying devotion? Wish I hadn't been, either.

It was a little more complicated than just making me suddenly fall in love.

Look, I'm tired and it's been a really long day and the blood-replenishing potion Haruman gave me is apparently really weak compared to what they used to have. It's all just too shameful to think about.

Can we talk about it tomorrow? I-- Er. Look, I don't mind if he sits with us for part of the trip but if we could be alone some, too, that'd make it easier for me, if you don't mind.

[alt_seamus]

Merlin, really? That's wretched. Anyway, yeah, I don't want to keep you away from your bed. I'm sure we can find some time to talk tomorrow.
