So you've told Severus about Ted, then?

Oh, by the way, Mother owled me back; the ball is a masquerade.

...Hey, look. We're both wearing purple sweaters.

[chained_maid]

Yes, he got all quiet and moody and mad. So I apologised and it's his fault anyway but we're rocky now. Though Ted ill get hexed no doubt.

Really? Excellent. Thanks Reg.

Oh so we are. If I cut my hair we'd be like twins.

[pur_et_seul]

That must have been hard for both of you. I hope you can eventually work things out.

Not at all. I'm happy it is; it will make things much easier for you.

Haha, or I could grow mine.

[chained_maid]

I hope so, he's a good friend.

I know, I have my dress, I just need a mask.

Hah, perhaps.

[pur_et_seul]

He is. And, while I am glad you were able to move on, I don't at all envy Severus. Adjusting to someone you cared for being with someone else is never easy.

Oh damn. Masks make my face itch.

I would look ridiculous. But your hair shouldn't be cut off so I suppose it's the only alternative.

[chained_maid]

I know, I felt so bad for him, he was utterly devastated, although if he expected me to wait god knows how long....

Yes, but there are charms for that.

Why can't I cut my hair off?

[pur_et_seul]

No, I understand. He was gone for a very long time and you had no way of knowing when he would be back.

I always do them but by the end of the night I just have to take my mask off. the most aggravating part is that no one else seems bothered by them.

Well, you could if you wanted to. It's very nice hair, though, so it would be a shame to cut it off.

[chained_maid]

I thought he'd just go and join the DL. Not come back at all. I fainted when I saw him.

Perhaps your face is telling you that it's too pretty to be hidden. Masks are fun though, for coy flirting or role playing perhaps *wink*

Hmm, but I can grow it back, or charm it back even.

[pur_et_seul]

Fainted? Well, it was a shock. He came back without any warning. I'm glad to have him back here, though.

*flushes* Merlin, Andy, what do you think I'll be doing at the Christmas ball?

That is true. You girls and your hair charms. Hasn't anyone ever charmed their hair and then eventually forgotten it was charmed? I would.

[chained_maid]

So am I, even if we're still shaky.

*smirks* Picking up a girlfriend, or perhaps a boyfriend?

Narcissa? *laughs*

[pur_et_seul]

Time will make things easier. and hopefully Severus will be mature about it all and not hex Tonks.

*scoffs* Don't be ridiculous.

*smiles* Narcissa charms her hair? To do what?

[chained_maid]

*looks at him as if he grew another head* Severus NOT hex Ted?

*shocked* Oh, so you already have one...?

Enchant Lucius?

[pur_et_seul]

You never know. It wasn't Tonk's fault that you and he are together.

I didn't say that. I just meant that I'm not going to be spending Christmas trying and grab anyone's attention.

As good a reason as any, I suppose.

[chained_maid]

Yes, it's all his fault. He can't rationalise that though.

You never said yes or no though. You Mr Black are lying to me.

[pur_et_seul]

I wouldn't be keen to accept it was my fault if I were him.

I certainly am not. I don't have a girlfriend, Andy.

[chained_maid]

I know, his loss though, and Ted's gain. I'm considering a betting pool on how long it takes before they have a fist fight.

I said boyfriend also, darling Regulus so perhaps you are lying.
