Private Message to Draco Malfoy

Good match, Malfoy. You make an ace Seeker, you know. Not that you're bad at all at Chaser, but I'm just sayin'. That was sharp spotting this afternoon and sly broom work.

Listen. This is going to sound daft if I'm not right, and I didn't want to say anything until I was sort of sure, but-

If you're the one sent me this Cleansweep, it was a really decent thing to do. And it's a wizard broom! I had a sorcerous time flying it out there today. Really brilliant!

So, yeah. Thanks.

It's mostly down to the fact that I got in some practice when I had to fill in for Harry on the team. I mean, a lot of pressure, that. Right?



Yeah, I suppose I did send you it. How'd you figure it out?

[alt_ron]

Well. I wondered for a while if it might have been Mr Rosier, but I thought he'd have said who it was from or might even have made Finnigan give it me himself. And that got me thinking that almost anyone would have signed their name. Except maybe you. And then today there was this moment when I thought I saw you look over, not at me but at the broom, and I decided that might mean I was right about it.

And, well. You know, I did ask Pansy about it, too. And she said she didn't know who sent it, but she said it could have been you. Maybe.

I just didn't want to be totally wrong because then I'd have looked like a berk. But, yeah, I wanted to say thanks, because it was a nice thing to do, so I was hoping I was right.

It just didn't seem right that you ought to have lost your broom because Finnigan was being a complete tit. And Pansy told me how much work you'd invested into it, besides.

I didn't want to say anything because I thought you might think it was weird, or decide that you didn't want it. Also, I'd rather my Father didn't know. He's already cross with me for airing my displeasure with Finnigan in the journals. Not that there's anything he can do about it now.

Anyway, it's good to know you'll get some use out of it.
