Order Only: Private Message to Fred Weasley and Harry Marvolo

[alt_hermione]

I thought I'd ask Ron this but then I decided he'd get all embarrassed and Ronnish, so I decided maybe it'd be better to ask you two instead, since you're generally sensible about things when it comes to girls, unlike some people I could name, but I won't, because I need to ask you something and it's not for me, it's for someone else: Is Katie Bell going out with anyone? I figure you might know or be able to find out because of being on the Quidditch team with her.

If you know, could you tell me? And if you don't would you be able to find out? Discreetly?

Katie isn't going out with anyone at the moment. She went with George to the Yule Ball, but that was just a 'just friends' sort of thing.

[alt_gredforge]

'Discreetly,' eh? Someone really shy inquiring?

Merlin. Is it Marvolo, then? Really?

Uh, should we warn her?

[alt_gredforge]

Or warn off any other boy who even squints at her?

[alt_gredforge]

George wonders if we should warn her Head of House?

[alt_gredforge]

Warn her parents?

[alt_gredforge]

Warn the press?

(Uh, on second thought, George says no. Rita Skeeter is a nosey old cow, and we're not going to do her any favours. Besides, we wouldn't do that to Katie.)

[alt_gredforge]

We could do other things to Katie, though. Like tease the life out of her.

(Marvolo, really?)

[alt_gredforge]

George says 'At least he has good taste.'

[alt_hermione]

You could probably warn her that she'll be bored out of her mind.

No, don't do that! Then he'll be even more morose.

Do you like that word? Morose. I'm still looking them up even if I'm not posting them anymore. It just seemed like something a first-year would do.

[alt_gredforge]

We get it. It probably isn't easy to act natural and suave and debonair and all if you're known far and wide as the Lord Protector's son, and the press is watching your every move for the slightest hint of a love life.

Poor git.

(Morose is a good word.)
