Dear Harry,
Eugh, I think I've been contaminated. Yuck. Trust me, I'm never taking Pansy Parkinson anywhere with me again, if I can help it. Not only does she annoy the hell out of me, she slobbers. She insisted on kissing me before the night ended, but it was just gross. Snogging is not supposed to be like that.
I wonder if you kissed your date. Probably not; I can imagine you all red-faced and bumbling. Ha. I can't believe you took that Patil girl, out of all the girls you could have picked.
I grudgingly admit that you looked okay in your dress robes (nothing like me, of course). Better than normal. I don't know why I noticed this, but it's the truth. Whatever. Besides, despite the fact that you might have looked alright (loath as I am to admit it), you certainly didn't act like a reasonable date. I noticed that you completely ignored Patil, and for some reason I found that I was quite pleased by that.
I really don't like her.
You're a horrid dancer, really. I couldn't stop watching you because you were so bad. I've had lessons, of course (being a Malfoy), but I didn't think it was possible to be that bad and still call it dancing.
Maybe you were distracted by stupid Granger (if the rumors are true and you are besotted with her), and how she managed to put herself together. I don't understand why she doesn't do it more often, as the she could actually look okay like that, but I'm oddly pleased that she doesn't spend a lot of time around you looking like that. It's somehow easier to think of you two spending time together when I imagine her as an ugly bookworm.
I don't know how she managed to convince Krum to take her. I honestly thought he was of higher class than that, but I must have been wrong. In fact, he's been a bit of a disappointment. Hardly as interesting as I first believed him to be. He's almost as bad as Granger, spending all his time in the library. How utterly boring.
In fact, I found the entire ball just simply dull. I detest these social events. There wasn't even any proper drink, the music was horrid, and I had to watch you dancing with that hideous Patil. Not to mention the fact that I had to snog Pansy after.
I wonder if you managed to snog Patil tonight.
I really don't want to think about that.
Oh, Merry Christmas, by the way.
From,
Draco
