Re: 19:46, It got goofed upwards at 19:14 too, like they just decided to switch. Weird.

She might have blushed at Severus's compliment if for a moment she thought he was trying to flatter her. She doubted he felt the need to fluff her ego, and more likely, it was just his sarcastic demeanor. Because if he really felt like making her swoon with excitement, he probably play up the fact that she was wearing a Slytherin green dress.

As it happened, when she spoke, she completely stepped past the comment in question and focused on the bit before that.

"You've been promised an introduction? I hardly get to know his name! You'll have to take notes for me. It's my duty as the best friend to make sure Hermione's with someone good enough for her." Ginny did laugh at the idea of Severus reporting to her, more so at him giving a detailed description of the bloke. It was too funny to imagine him gossiping like a sixth year school girl. Over tea, perhaps. Too funny indeed.

She glanced in the direction of his nod, spotting her other 'best' friend Tonks. Her smile brightened into a full on giggle, which seemed damn near impossible to her since she'd been smiley all evening.

"Between you and me, I think I'd prefer her as my sister-in-law. She's always looked out for me, you see, and we get along famously. Plus she's the only person in my life who can listen about Harry matters without cringing. Unless you're volunteering to fill that role, I'll need to keep her around. Better still, if she's in the family."

She waved at the two. It probably went unnoticed by either party, but she had yet to say hello to either of them and felt that acknowledging their presence was the least she could do.

((ooc: okay, small goof, turns out he was introduced right after the dance with Hermione.))

"Did I say promised? My apologies, I misspoke." Unsurprising, considering his distraction by half-dressed Nymphadora Tonks and his fury with Remus Lupin! "She introduced me to the young man after our dance. Do you know the woman who runs the bookshop in Diagon Alley? The shop with the French name - Tressoure Litterare or something like that?"

His pronunciation was horrid.

"The woman is a friend of your sister-in-law, I believe. At any rate, the young man is her brother. Conall Aurelius, that bloke, over there, wearing the Muggle suit."

Shifting them about on the dance floor, he tilted his jaw to indicate the gentleman in question.

"As to that woman, you are more than welcome to marry her off to any of your brothers who will have her. The sooner the better."

He sneered in Nymphadora's direction again, before returning his gaze to Ginevra.

"YOU manage to find a dress which is both elegant and feminine, without making you look like some common... trollop... advertising all her wares," he said vehemently, scowling darkly. It was beyond the ability of Severus Snape to notice something like the colour green being especially suited for someone with flaming red hair, but he was not head of Slytherin House without developing an appreciation for the colour, in general.

"Besides, it is the perfect accompaniment to my robes," which were also in Slytherin green, "and therefore I approve it prodigiously."

He attempted to bring a teasing tone into his voice to lighten the atmosphere - and also to move them away from Weasley and the bint, but he was not certain how successful he was at the attempt.
