For anyone who has read the Infernal Devices series, I can't help but picture Tessa and Astoria being similar to each other!

Day Seven: "I ran into [insert name] in the hallway without his/her underwear on. P.S - congratulations." (Sex & the City)


From afar, the Greengrass sisters looked startlingly alike, from their wavy chestnut brown hair to their gray eyes and petite build. But sitting up close to Astoria, Blaise could see that the younger sister had a certain sweetness in her face that Daphne didn't. He hoped that that meant she had called him here to her and Draco's manor with kind intentions.

"You're likely wondering why you are here," said Astoria.

"It has crossed my mind, yes."

She, like her sister, didn't stall. Astoria leaned forward, eyes sparkling. "I want to ask you a favor. It's about Daphne."

"What about your incredible sister?"

Astoria plucked a scarlet invitation off her desk and handed it to him. "It's a dance," she explained. "I want her to be there but you know how she feels about parties and all that. If you could convince her to go, Blaise, I'd be so grateful. You, of course, are invited too."

Blaise paused then nodded. "She'll resist for certain, but I'll see what I can do."

"Oh, thank you!" Astoria sprang up, her hands clasped together like a young girl's. Really, Blaise could still not believe that this lovely, innocent woman had won Draco's stoic yet cocky heart so completely.

Speaking of innocence… He flashed a grin at her. "It's not a problem." He stood, adding casually, "By the way, I ran into Draco in the hallway without his underwear on." He winked at Astoria's horrified groan and red face. "Congratulations."
