Hullo, you.

I've been thinking about the guest list for tea on Saturday. I say, do you think we ought to invite Marvolo? I'm not sure if Pansy plans to come or if she'll bring Malfoy along, though they'd be welcome. But it occurred to me that if Marvolo were to come, perhaps he could bring Hermione Granger as well. No one else I've invited would have the slightest objection to including her, what.

But perhaps the invitation would look better coming from you? I mean to say, you could send him a PM and your mother might see that you're socialising with him, if you follow me.

Thought it might do just as well if I sent it, from the point of view of certain other quarters. I'm not sure. What do you think?

Well, it always looks good to invite Harry to places and events, even if he ends up not attending.

I'm not sure about having Hermione Granger along, though. I know that none of those people would object or be unkind, not on purpose, but wouldn't it be a little awkward for her? She knows me a little, and Draco a bit more than that, I think, but she doesn't know any of the others well at all. What's she meant to say to them?

I mean, I see why you want to give her a chance to come along, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to get to know her. I'm not sure if there even is a good way to get to know her. I know I haven't figured it out yet.

Well, Perks knows her a little. But perhaps you're right.

Still it seems one ought to make an effort somewhere and I'm quite certain the mates that I've made here would not find it uncomfortable having her there. That is, provided it made sense for her to be along. And it certainly wouldn't make sense without Marvolo, what?

I think it would be good to invite Harry, and for Granger to get to come along, I just don't know if it means that you'll be able to get to know her she'll be able to do or say much, though. That's all.
