Private Message to Pansy Parkinson

 Miss Parkinson,

I know we’ve not talked very much, but you being a friend of Ron, I thought it would be ok to ask you something on behalf of a friend. My friend has received correspondence from Troy Derwent. I know he is in your house, and a year ahead of you. Since neither my friend nor I know anything about Derwent, I told her I would ask you. She was ok with that, as long as I didn’t mention her name. Any general information (mostly about his character, and what he is like) you could give me to pass on would be great. I hope you can help, and please excuse me in asking you this before establishing any common grounds. Maybe we can talk more, and get to know each other if you have the time.

Hello, Ginny.

That's not a problem at all. I'm glad to help. From what I've seen of Derwent, he's a bit on the quiet side -- his older sister is Chastity, you know, and she can get a little dramatic and loud about things sometimes, so it might be he just seems quiet by comparison. He's nice enough, and doesn't tend to get into trouble with pranking or making fun of the younger years. I know he likes following Quidditch, and playing cards, and he doesn't talk to me very often, but he's friendly with Draco and Blaise. He was awfully busy studying for OWLs this term, so I haven't seen much of him, really, but I know he was mates with some of the boys from Durmstrang and that he took Antigone Fletcher to the Yule Ball, but I'm not sure if they were dating or just friends.

I know it's not terribly much, but I hope that gives your friend what she needs to know. And it's Pansy, please -- I've been to the Burrow and met your mum, so I'm fairly sure that we can get away with a bit of informality.

Thanks for the information. I'm sure that's more than enough to pass on. And know you've been here, but we never did much talking, so it was only polite to address you in that way. I hope we can get to know each other better when next you are at the Burrow.

Well, now that we've broken the ice, as it were, I'm sure we'll have much more to talk about this time around. I look forward to it.
