Private message to Pansy Parkinson

[alt_padma]

Parkinson, is it true that Greengrass sent those roses she got back to whomever sent them? Do you know why?

Only we reckoned they came from Zabini, you know, as a thank-you or whatever for that party she threw for him. Except Dames saw her returning them, so that doesn't make any sense if it was Zabini.

I'd ask her herself but I figure she's probably asleep. And I know you're up late a lot of nights.

Oh, I hardly think that's the case. I don't think they've actually ever met before at all. Maybe for a minute at one of Lucius's parties, but not anything worth mentioning.

Besides, I mean, he's obviously got plenty of eligible women his own age to go after instead.

And I think he'd probably be well annoyed if people started spreading those kind of rumours.

Well, whether he's met her or not doesn't really matter, does it? My uncle hadn't met my aunt until they day they got betrothed - their parents arranged everything for them. And I don't think it matters that she's so much younger than he is if he's thinking to wait until she's finished school. My Dadi was about twelve years younger than my Dada, too.

Anyway, I'm certainly not going to be the one to say anything to Auror Crouch - but if he didn't want anyone speculating, he really shouldn't have sent them in the first place!
