little Bet
Trustworthy and
Interested Office Employees
It has come to
my attention that the little rendezvous with Ginny and Harry has
become a hot topic of discussion. So for amusement purposes I have
decided to hold a bet.
First, you
should know the facts.
Reasons to
be Pro Relationship
Ginny is
currently single
Harry, according to Witches' Weekly and our very own sources here at the Daily Prophet, is also single.
Ginny has liked Harry forever. (Though you can't even force it out of her.)
According to the gossip, Harry couldn't take his eyes away from our little fireball today.
Ginny is to interview Harry for the paper, which could spring into something more.
Reasons to
be Anti
Ginny covered
Harry with Jello today.
They have dated before and things didn't work out.
He is the savior of the wizarding world and Ginny is his best friend's younger sister.
Ginny just got out of a bad relationship.
We
have a bet going. While Ginny doesn't know about it, she has heard
the gossip and will do everything in her power to prove us wrong:
keep it secret. So place your money where your mouth is. Is it going
to happen or not? And if you are pro when will be the date that they
will finally admit publicly they are dating? If they don't end up
dating all the cons will split the money in the pot, if they DO end
up dating the winner closest to the date will get the money.

competition? I take it you don't want Dean to find out? Oh well,
he has been being a bit too strange for my liking anyway. He needs to
get over Ginny, and my biggest hope is Harry will come into the
picture. I'll put 40 gallons on them getting together, and I say it
will happen in 2 weeks exactly.

Subject: Re: A

Aww true love!
You have to admit Harry IS a hottie! And while I may not be straight,
Ginny is the only girl that would make me sway. They would be perfect
together! I've always wanted the best for Ginny and Harry is the
best! Forget Pros and Cons, they are a match made in heaven! 30
gallons, I'll give them two weeks and a day.
Ernie
Ps. By they
way, love the shoes!

Subject: Re: A

If Harry could
have any girl why would he chose Ginny? She is temperamental, and
mental all around. He would want a tall, sophisticated blonde who
thinks about politics. Not a vertically challenged redhead, who only
voted for Dumbledore because he was easier on the eyes. I say gallons
that it will never happen.

Fr: Cho Chang
Subject: Re: A
little Bet
I hate to see a
doll like Harry be taken but if it is with Ginny then it is fine by
me. Heaven knows that girl needs some excitement in her life. And how
will she be able to stay away from Harry? 30 gallons on three days,
because seeing the way Harry's jaw dropped when Ginny fell (giving an
opportune view of her skirt) there is no way he can stay away either.

Ps. Darling,
you have to tell me where you got those shoes!

I'm going to
say pro. I don't know why, but they have always had this connection,
you know? So I'll put 25 gallons on one month.

Subject: Re: A

Harry and Ginny
are such nice people. I would like nothing more then to see them
happy with one another. So I am putting 20 gallons the jackpot and my
lucky guess is one week and 6 days.

Ps. You're shoes are very prettty

Yo! Ginny is
one hot mama! And Harry is frickin rich! Dude! I will put 20 mulahsdown for them to get down with each other. They'll be dogs
screwing each other before you know it. And in two weeks they will
have done it. So I betta get a lotta $$$$ back!

Hannah,
I heard around
office about you little bet that Ginny and Harry would get together.
I would like to put twenty gallons on pro. My estimate is that it
will take one week and four days for them to get together.

Wow, that was a
lot of input. Instead of arguing over opinions let's leave the fate
of our money up to the couple. Please leave the money on the jar on
my desk. May the best predictor win!

Subject: Rumor
Has It
People like my
shoes today. Well work gets off in ten minutes but I need to go to a
meeting with Pansy about my due date. ( I don't think being three
months pregnant will delay my work, but she does.) I'll see you
tonight. Make your chocolate pie, oh and give me the recipe! It's the
only thing you have ever made that has been edible.

I have a
feeling it's not about your shoes, but
more about what happened today. I shall make my chocolate pie! Recipe
is attached. It doesn't have measurements. You can make that up. See
you tonight.
