Daphne!

[alt_padma]

You've certainly floored the entire school--maybe even the entire Protectorate! Congratulations to you and Ms Novello on what is sure to be the scoop of the year.

Imagine, to find out that you're really the daughter of Professor Lestrange. I'm sure it was quite a revelation for all of you, including you, Professor Sinistra. I hope Daphs is quite accurate when she said that all of you will 'adjust gracefully to the new reality.' Really, Daphs, such a skillful turn of phrase. Almost like you rehearsed it. Only someone like you could turn this sort of situation into an opportunity for the spotlight. Well done!

I can't tell you how much I wish the best for you all. It's sure to be a festive Christmas at yours!

What in Hades is everyone on about?

We don't take Whirl at the House of Hidden Fugitives.

Draco,

Perhaps Daphne ought to tell you, what. There's an article on impressive women in Slytherin and she's profiled.

There's a small note on Hydra, too.

Given that Daphne already told the magazine I think it's probably okay if one of us fills you in?

You probably guessed from what Padma said that the article says Daphne is actually Raz's daughter. She's on the cover of the magazine -- Daphne, not Padma -- with a bit headline saying, 'Who is the Lost Heir of Rabastan Lestrange?'

Daphne was interviewed by Sophia Novello. She says Philip Greengrass is her father but Rabastan is her biological father; he died before knowing they shared a connection. After his death, his family members (I'm guessing that means Rodolphus) conducted some research to find out if he left any children behind and discovered Daphne.

Let's see. She says that she was concerned for her parents and sisters but 'we all love each other very much, and I have every confidence that my parents will adjust gracefully to this new reality' and 'Philip Greengrass raised me and will always be the one I think of when I hear the word "Father." When I think of Professor Raz, I remember a brilliant teacher and quidditcher.'

You came up, Draco. Here's how that bit went:

Q: The last person you were linked to romantically was the late Draco Malfoy. Can you tell the public anything about him or your relationship with him?

A: Draco were friends long before we ever dated, and I always deeply admired and respected both him and his family. I don't feel I'm in any position to comment on his tragic death or the events that preceded and followed it; I can only say that his loss is keenly felt within both Slytherin and Hogwarts.

(Hope you don't mind my answering, Daphne. I figured you were probably sick to death of talking about it by yesterday evening.)

Bloody nightshade, how long have you known, Daphs? Did your mother tell you ages ago, or what?

I should just go out and nick a copy of Whirl from somewhere...

Re: ORDER ONLY

Nicking is frowned upon, remember.

How could I forget?

That rag is plastered all over the streets of New London, though. If I stick my wand out the window and perform "Accio Whirl Magazine" have I really nicked anything?
