Today, I spent some time working on a particularly important project of mine, went to the first meeting of the Potions Club, and have taken the time to request a new outfit from my tailor for Blaise's party, as it would be terrible for me to be anything less than perfect if Pansy is intending on buying a new gown for the occasion.

Also today, I ~~hexed~~ was accosted by some uncouth Hufflepuffs who now know better than to sneak up behind me in a dark corridor.

In regards to Quidditch, I have had the misfortune this afternoon to see Weasley practice at his Keeper position, and am now assured of Slytherin victory for the Quidditch Cup.

Oh, darling. I'm sure you'd be brilliant wearing something you have on hand. You didn't need to go to the trouble for me.

He's not going through the trouble for you, he's doing it for my party.

I suppose you're right. If he were doing it for me he wouldn't need robes at all.

It's rare when you decide to throw a party at school.

I would never think of looking anything other than my best at your side.

And that is one of the many reasons I love you. You're so considerate.

What can I say? You bring out my better nature.

Your better nature, is that all?

Why Pansy. If I didn't know any better, I'd suspect your intentions were not altogether pure.

And what if they're not?

The only one who would be surprised would be Malfoy.

Shut it.

Pansy Parkinson is angry. Whatever shall I do?

Oh, go bother someone else.

That sounds like a woman who doesn't have a come back. For a moment, I thought you might be clever, but you've decided to disabuse me of the notion.

Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm not in the mood for this-- I have business to attend to.

Sounds like a euphemism if I've ever heard one.

Then I'm flattered, as always, by your attention.

Just flattered?

In public.

Then why don't we go somewhere private to discuss it?

As always, I'm delighted to oblige you.

Watch it, Malfoy. Ron's a better keeper than you are a Seeker. Just wait til our first match.

From what I saw, Weasley couldn't catch the Quaffle even if it were enchanted to fly into his hands.

You just make sure your team is ready and we'll take care of our end.

You'll need to take care of a great deal more than that. The only thing you have going for you is Søren, which is simply an accident of temperament.

Everyone on our team is fantastic. I would point out the flaws in your line-up but it looks like you haven't chosen yet.

Fantastic, are they? Obviously, those spectacles of yours give you a distorted perception of reality.

And what of your team?

I suppose you'll have to wait until our match to find out, won't you?

I'm afraid we won't notice much-- We'll be too busy scoring.

I highly doubt that. Most likely, your Chasers will be too busy protecting your goal hoops, as your Keeper will undoubtedly find it to be impossible.

Our Chasers will have plenty to do at your hoops. Ron can handle himself.

I'm not worried in the least.

Neither am I.

That's a pity. You really should be.

Should I? Why?

Slytherin fully intends to take the Cup this year, Potter. Mark my words.

Yeah? Well so does Gryffindor.

Harry. You know your Potions essay is due tomorrow. I am not going to write it for you, so stop arguing and get to work!

I don't know about fantastic. Some of us are passable but intensely good-looking.

You didn't make the team just for your looks. ~~Though it didn't hurt your chances.~~

One would hope, Harry Potter, that my looks didn't play a part in my selection at all.

If I were choosing based on looks, do you think I'd have picked Ron as keeper?

If you were choosing based on looks, you'd have to quit the team.

Ha! Very true.
