Private message to Ptolemy

You and Karo free tomorrow night? I've got a bottle of clicquot that needs drinking.

Forgive the short notice, but I've only just learned that it will likely be the only evening that Seamus and I have free this week (at the same time, at least). We were thinking of taking dinner at my flat. Buckingham has it's endearing qualities but every now and then a little quiet doesn't go amiss.

Oh, and if you can make it, do bring Ginny Weasley. Seamus has been a bit concerned about her. Both Gryffindors, you know, and he didn't get along with her brother. I think he wonders if, now that Antonin Dolohov has made himself rather scarce, she won't suffer some kind of 'backslide' into her old ways of thinking. I've assured him you have her well in hand, but an actual face-to-face interaction would probably put his concerns to rest. And who knows, it may do her some kind of good to socialise with a former school-mate who knows the right way of things.

The only one who's still alive, anyway. We'll never know if Thomas would have made good. But you've got a point.

Let's say you're not the only one who can foster loyalty in a young and eager conquest. I'd wager her devotion is just as intense as his. Perhaps more, shall we say, desperate, but by now I believe it's fairly unshakable.

Or could it be that you're bored already and looking to change things up?

Indeed. One could perhaps say we've both got some capital invested in our young charges.

Well, all right. You're correct that she craves company nearer her own age. I suppose she deserves a formal celebration of her first few days on the job. Why not? I'll find out if she'd like to come along.
