Oh, from what Daphne's said, it was a boys-only party where they got some older girls to walk around in skimpy robes and fan him and feed him fruit and things. Merlin knows why they agreed -- it sounds awfully demeaning.
But they played some card game or something, and drank tonnes of butterbeer, and were thoroughly spoiled.
All I could think, when I heard about the girls with the skimpy robes, was THANK MERLIN Daphne doesn't think I'm sufficiently deserving to be one of the girls fanning Blaise and feeding him grapes.
Here's what I really don't understand. How can a boy sit there with girls fanning him and feeding him things and not feel like a complete arse?
Which girls? I heard they were hardly wearing anything at all.
Oh, yeah. Portkey. We play with Charlie and Bill when they're home. Only Mum doesn't like it if we bet at all. I think when you play properly everyone puts up a load of money, and then you play until someone's won it all from everyone else.
