I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private message to Pansy

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm on my way to the Burrow for supper tonight. Tomorrow I have to do the perimeter check on my broom in the afternoon and will be stuck having supper at the Strettons but I'm free all day on Wednesday. Maybe we're appreciating tea that day? If not do you want to get together anyway?

Are you going to ask them for careers advice? Other than 'you're probably not going to run a greenhouse'...

By the way, I asked Mr Snape about Mysteries, since I know you're interested, and whether the Order knows anything about what would be useful for getting a job there. He didn't really know. He says that in the past, they recruited some generalists who were interested in everything, and specialists who were totally obsessed with some particular thing (like poor Capper with Arithmancy -- if he hadn't been a half-blood maybe that's where he'd have ended up.) But that was a LONG time ago, anyway.

Have you thought about asking Mr Malfoy? You got that tour all those years ago and met Mr Rookwood. It wouldn't be suspicious if you told him you've been thinking about that again.

Yes, that's a good point.

I'm not sure what he'd think about it, but it's worth asking him, I think.

I'll have to sort out how to approach it. I don't think he'd be quite as old-fashioned as Slughorn is, though.

Slughorn was just ridiculous.

And yeah, I think it's worth asking him. Unless you think he'd gossip to Dolohov -- that could be a little risky, considering. I mean he didn't see you there, but he saw me, and he probably guessed you were there somewhere.

Good point. Who knows with Dolohov, though? It might work in my favour.
