Order Only: Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

So I didn't get a chance to ask yesterday -- how was lunch with Percy? Was the food at least good?

So why did he want to have lunch with you? Just trying to help you onto the Council for old times' sake or did he want something from you?

[alt_ron]

Wants me to stop being an embarrassment like the rest of them and start being more like him, apparently. He didn't come out and say it, but I think he's trying to use me to get in better with people like Avery and Pennifold. Shame I'm not exactly on best terms with Avery at the moment.

[alt_sally_anne]

Ah. Figures.

[alt_sally_anne]

I saw he PM'd Avery, did he tell you you should do what Avery said and break things off with me?

[alt_ron]

Actually, he didn't say a thing about it. I expected he would.

But he didn't. Mind you, you weren't the sort of alliance he was blahblahblahing on about.

[alt_sally_anne]

Go figure.

I SHOULD be the sort of alliance he was going on about. I'm friends with Pansy, Harry, and Draco!

[alt_ron]

Shows what he knows.

[alt_ron]

And I'm not going to do that, y'know. You do, don't you?

It's actually sort of hilarious, if you think about it. I mean, if that's what they were talking about, Avery couldn't've picked a worse person to go after me than Percy if he hoped I'd fall in and do what he wants.

But, really, Percy didn't even hint about that. So I've no idea.

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah, I know.

And now I'm trying to decide if Avery recruiting Bill to go after you would be better or worse than Percy.
