Private Message to Blaise and Seamus

Really, some people have no self-control.

By my count we're up to over a dozen people about to get well-deserved detentions (and another dozen who're getting some less-deserved ones) and it's only the second day.

That's easy for me. Only two people asked me, and I told them they could give them to Vince or Greg, if they were too lazy to walk the things up to the Headmistress's office themselves. It's not my lookout if anyone was that dim.

I wouldn't care in the slightest what Weasley gets up to if it didn't put Daphs in such a poor light. She must feel wretched about it.

Oh, I see. So it's everyone else's lookout when it comes to things like turning in an essay via a Junior Councillor but it's not Daphs' own lookout that she made a total fool of herself over Weasel?

You're such a prat.

Oh, don't get cross.

Of course, Daphne was an idiot to associate with Weasley. I only feel sorry for her because it's so perfectly pathetic that not a fortnight later, he's taking up with Perks.

I'm not cross because you feel sorry for her. I'm cross because you're the first one to point out when anyone's behaving below their station except that when it's Daphne you always have some excuse.

Besides, anyone could have told her Weasel'd start sniffing round Perks again as soon as they broke things off. Talk about someone with no standards!

Which one has the lowest standards, do you think? Daphs, Weasel, or Perks?

I mean to say, I'm sure Perks thinks she's making a real catch (supposing she can hold his interest more than a minute past their first snog), but if Weasel's the best she can imagine, well.

Hm. Well, if I say Weasel then we've got to assume that his panting for Daphne was a temporary acquisition of good sense, right?

But the thing is that that horrid brute Krum chose Perks--of all people--for the Yule Ball. (One can only assume she made it worth his time.) So perhaps the best that can be said is they're removing themselves from the field so decent people don't have to bother about either of them.

(And don't think I didn't notice you dodged the argument. You'll have to answer for it tomorrow, you know. 4:00 after lessons?)
