Private Message to Perks and Parkinson
Look. I know you lot in Slytherin like to take care of your own, right? But I'm worried about Daphne.
I asked Zabini about it earlier and he gave me a brush-off. And then I heard that she didn't go to his party last night (which he'd said he wasn't even going to have a party, which now I think he'd decided so it wouldn't put her in an odd position with Bole, but obviously that didn't work the way he planned). So I thought--well, I figured I'd ask someone with half a hope of being honest about what's going on with her.
Is there something we can do? Not gang up on her, obviously, she'll just insist that there's nothing wrong. But something.
Maybe get someone to tell Bole to leave her alone? I dunno, but I just hate seeing her looking so stressed.
Or maybe this needs to come from someone outside her House, so she'll take it seriously? I dunno.
Parkinson, what do you think?
