I honestly think that's your saving grace, Daphs. The fact that huffles and claws are burbling about it while the people that'd really know are saying it's not what they think.
So Auror Crouch can't think it'd have come from you, because then the Slytherins would all have bought it instead of the rumour mill from other houses taking a few scraps and running with it.
And how on earth people can get from "returned flowers" to "engaged" is beyond me.
Well, it isn't entirely beyond me.
Patil asked me, you know, if they were from Blaise, so I thought it best to clear it up. I told her who it was from, and that I thought the colour was probably due to a mistake on his or his assistant's part, she instantly jumped to the fact that you might be attached. I did my best to tell her that wasn't the case at all, and that Auror Crouch might get angry at her presumption, but I'd bet the root of this is with Patil. Padma, I mean, not Parvati.
