So what is it with girls and flowers?

All the girls in Gryffindor are all gooey today about Zabini sending Greengrass those roses this morning.

Honestly? Who cares if Zabini's got more galleons than sense?


I guess Frobisher's probably glad they've all got something to talk about other than just her, though. Not that she seems to notice. Anything, really.

Flowers are a way to say 'I like you THAT WAY.' Because they're beautiful but useless so that makes it really clear it's not just saying, 'hey, I noticed that you really need a new quill so I got you one!'

Jewelry works the same way but it costs a whole lot more.

Girls care which people like each other THAT WAY because they're hoping eventually someone will like THEM that way.

I don't think he sent them though.

He wasn't gloating at all during lunch.

From: [personal profile] alt_sally_anne
Oh, you noticed that, too?

He also looked surprised at breakfast when they showed up. More than he would if they'd just come earlier than he'd expected.

D'you think they came from a relative who couldn't make the play?

They might be old hat, but I think they can be romantic.

Maybe it's just a girl thing.

But it's still something you ought to take notes on: If you ever want someone to go all giggly over you, get her flowers.

I think Ron would rather snuggle up with a box full of spiders than have a girl go giggly over him.

RED roses, though?

If it were a relative I'd have expected yellow. Or maybe pink.

I think Zabini's got a rival. Maybe. Surely everyone in the Greengrass family knows that RED roses are for ROMANCE.

Well, he didn't look CROSS at lunch, either. It's just that he didn't have his usual self-satisfied smirk.

'What is it with girls and flowers? someone gets flowers at breakfast and those silly, silly girls just WON'T SHUT UP about those flowers. So, uh, who was it who sent them, anyway? I want to know all the details!'

But if you MUST know...

Nobody. No one wants to hack off Blaise! It must be someone from another House.

Well, we asked Daph, and they're definitely not from Blaise.

alt_pansy: (vaguely amused.)
From: [personal profile] alt_pansy
Well, now that we know, do you think we ought to tell?

I mean, seeing as he wants to drop it and all...

And Daphs did say that we oughtn't...

alt_sally_anne: (my friends make me smile)
From: [personal profile] alt_sally_anne
Well, I was right that it wasn't anyone in Slytherin!

I really don't know if I ought to say any more. After all I'd hate to make you feel like a giggling gossip.

Oh, anything but that! He'd be no better than those girls mooning over the roses this morning!

Can you imagine what they'd say if they knew who they were mooning over?

Oh now THERE is a hilarious thought.

I have to say I'm a bit surprised. Auror Crouch has never seemed like the romantic type to me.

It explains why she sent the roses back, though; she's FAR too young for him, and SHE knows red roses always mean 'I like you THAT WAY.'

Maybe he meant to send pink and the florist made a mistake? Pity the florist if so.

It was AUROR CROUCH.

Daphne herself told us it was Auror Crouch.

But you can't tell anyone till tomorrow because how would you explain you knew it from us?

Daphne doesn't want to tell anyone but she doesn't mind it getting around. It had to do with the play, I guess. She heard he was offended so she wrote a note of apology and I guess he sent her flowers to show he wasn't cross with HER.

alt_sally_anne: (pretty in a peaky sort of way)
From: [personal profile] alt_sally_anne
YES.

And really. If there's ONE PERSON who doesn't have to worry about making Blaise cross...

Actually it explains why he wasn't FUMING all afternoon, too. It wasn't actually a rival.

We're just having a bit of fun, Ron.

No harm meant.

And it's true, it is Auror Crouch. You remember, she sent him that PM the other day, yeah? Because she'd heard he was annoyed with the play, and her performance, even though he hadn't seen it. So she apologised.

I suppose apology accepted, huh?

I think it was a mistake by the florist.

That, or he had an assistant order them that knows nothing about what the colour of flowers means.

What is it with you and Blaise lately, anyways?

Anything we ought to know?

From: [personal profile] alt_pansy
I'm not sure. Given that he was cross without even seeing the performance, he seems the easily touchy sort.

Daphne is usually pretty good at knowing What Is Expected. I'm sure she sent a tactful note.
