Hello Everyone
Guess what? I'm getting married – at last! And you will never believe to whom. I dare you all – guess! Come on guess…
No, it's not you, Draco. I've quite given up on you. Anyway, no idea? I am getting married to…take a deep breath…RON WEASLEY! Can you all believe it? Okay I know what you guys are thinking but he's not that bad…really, he isn't. And I absolutely adore him!
We are planning on scheduling the wedding sometime in mid-march. Is that okay with you guys? Please reply ASAP! Thank you!

You go girl! Congratulations! I am so happy for you!
But…(pauses)…Weasley? Are you sure? Because when he was in school he was bit of an idiot wasn't he? But then maybe he's changed like that friend of his – Hermione Granger. She writes some really good articles for the daily prophet here (she is also one of my good friends - ignore the fact that she's a mudblood)
Anyway… mid-March? Girl…Oh Gosh…I'm sorry. I'm so sorry but mid-march is going to be a bit too hard for me. I don't think I'll be able to make it. In fact, the next three months are bad. I'm going to be in Australia during that time. I really am sorry, Pansy. Please forgive me? I'll come and meet you guys later. I promise I will and anyway you can send me photos right! By the way, where's the wedding going to be? In America?
Send me all the details (even though I'm, unfortunately, not going to be able to join the fun; I do want to know what you've planned for your BIG day)! So yeah, I'll see you later. I'm sorry again. I really am!
Kisses,
Millicent

Pansy,
A Weasley? Are you out of your mind, young lady! I want you to cancel this nonsense right now! A Weasley? For the love of Merlin, what has America done to my daughter? Are you trying disgrace the Parkinson name among our community like your wonderful brother did? Your beloved father fainted when he read your e-mail!
Think twice before you blurt out things like this! What ever happened to Draco Malfoy? I thought you two were a match made in heaven? I can't believe this! I'm too angry to even type! I am so ashamed of you Pansy! A Weasley of all things…
I want this all cancelled, you hear me – by tomorrow!
Love,
Mum

You can't come? YOU CAN'T BLOODY COME? MILLIE! (sniff) Great…just great!
Today just gets better and better. Mum totally went ballistic with me today – on e-mail! Can you believe it? I could practically hear her…in America! The wedding, it seems, is NOT a good idea. Millie!
Oh well…I guess I could send you photos. I wish you'd come though – I wanted you to be bride's maid, you know. Though now, it seems I'll have to ask Draco to be best man. I hope Ron agrees. And if he does, I'll have someone on his side as bride's maid. (sigh) This'll be quite a wedding don't you think; me choosing the best man and Ron choosing the bride's maid! But the main thing is for us to get married and live happily ever after…
I'm babbling to much, aren't I? Anyway I'll send you photos – if the wedding actually takes place!
Talk to you later, woman.
Love, Pansy
P.S: The wedding will, most likely, take place in England!

Are you serious? God, are you serious? That Weasel, Pansy? When you met the guy, I thought it'd just be a passing fancy but, honestly, now you tell me you're going to marry the idiot? What about the 'I'm going to hate Potter, Weasley and Mudblood' pact we made in our second year? (sigh)
But it seems that whatever I say, it's not going to do much; which unfortunately sucks. I know you can choose your own spouse and all but…forget it Pansy. If you love the bastard (beats me how you could), then marry him. Though if he breaks your heart, I will personally come to your apartment (…which needs to be cleaned of Weasley germs) and murder the guy – and this I'll do with or without your permission. Remember that.
Mid-March will be okay for me if the both of you plan on tying the knot in the U.K. I'm going there next week for about a month - ministry-related business. But if you have the wedding here in America, I don't think I'd be able to make it. I could meet you guys later if that happens.
Anyway I have to go. I want to get ready for the psychological damage you've inflicted upon me. So I'll talk to you later okay? Bye!

A disgrace, you are Pansy, to the Parkinson name. And it is for that very reason that I want to congratulate you. I really do! I'm glad you have followed in my foot-steps and not Patricia's. And I have to admit that you've done better than me in choosing a Weasley for after all, I only chose a Lovegood.
Luna congratulates you too though I do wonder how you are planning on having this wedding. Mum is going to kill you, you know and there is no way in hell you are going to get together with this Weasley guy; with mum around. So I suggest you come up with something – and fast.
Mid-march? Why the hell do you want to have it that quickly? I can't bloody come then, you know. Luna is due with the baby around that time and I don't think it's a great idea if she came along – it would be even worse if she delivers the baby right at the moment you say 'I do'. I don't think you'd want that to happen either.
SO, I'm sorry sis. And anyway I don't think I want to meet mum and dad again. Luna and I will come and meet you two sometime later. A time during which you will, hopefully, be an aunty.
Talk to you later and all the best

ARE YOU CRAZY? As your best and most trusted friend, I want to advise you Pansy, that this is the worst idea you could ever come up with! Have you honestly lost your mind, girl? How on god's green earth could you think of marrying that dufus!
First off, he is a Weasley. Second, he is a blood traitor. And thirdly, he is a Weasley! I can't believe this!
Pansy, think about this before you do something rash. And I really do mean it. We've been friends for more than seven years – you have to trust me on this. It is not a good idea, even though it may seem so now; but wait a couple of years, or even months and you'll see straight through the guy. It'll no good for your reputation too – meaning your future!
Girl, call it off! Please…?

You are the most insensitive younger sister I have ever had the misfortune to meet, you know that! Do you have ANY idea what you've done to Mum and Dad? You are worse than Armand! HE only married a Lovegood – not a Weasley!
I suggest you buck up and get a life if you are desperate enough to marry a Weasley of all people. Oh the humanity! E-mail me once you've cancelled this crap.

I REALLY CAN'T STAND THIS! You guys are the ONLY people who have been okay about me marrying Ron. All the rest of them are so against me. I don't get why though! Ron is a wonderful person. WHY CAN'T THEY GET THAT?
Guess what Millie…even Blaise is against my marriage. Can you believe it? And she was the girl who was supposed to have the same taste as me!
ARGH! It sucks that neither you (Millicent) nor you (Armand) can come. Mid-march is the only time the both of us (Ron and me) are free. In April, Ronald is trying out for a promotion and that requires are great deal of time. (sigh) At least, you are coming Draco because we are having the wedding in the U.K. I have a little request for you too, though I think it best if I were to consult Ron first before I ask you.
GOD! My head aches so much. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? Anyway I'm going now…Ron is online on WMSN!
Love,

I like joking too Pansy (though next time, please add the word, joking after you reveal the joke because I almost thought you were telling the truth when I read your e-mail…).
Here's my joke! Guess who I'm marrying? Cho Chang! Joking! (Like this. Just so that I don't get confused!)

Calm down girl…you sounded hysterical in your last e-mail. You rarely ever use capital letters and when you do, I know something is wrong. Don't worry. It'll take a while for this all to blow over. But it'll work out in the end. I know it will
I'm not surprised that Blaise isn't happy with your marriage. But don't let her get to you. I know that all of us are friends and all but you have to live your own life, Pansy. You have to choose your own partner so ignore everyone else and do what you feel is right!
Anyway I have to go! I hope I see you soon! It's sad that I can't see you on your special day! I hope everything works out. Write to me as soon as possible!

What do you need to consult the Weasel with before you do with me? I don't like the sound of this…
So this wedding being cancelled is not bad is it? I mean there are so many other guys for you out there, Pansy! As they say: There are plenty more fish in a sea…Okay, ignore more. I just did not say that.
As you can see, my advice-giving skills are a bit rusty so bare with me. And anyway, how am I supposed to convince a good friend not to marry the biggest bastard on earth! I still can't believe you are marrying the idiot – the idiot who was once one of my greatest enemies.
God save the world…

P.S: Well I supposed I will have to come if the wedding is held in the U.K… (sigh)

When Armand told me that you were freaking out about this whole thing, I decided to e-mail you and give you some sisterly advice since your bitch of a sister isn't. Pansy, don't worry! It's going to be alright. Armand and I ended up okay, didn't we? If there is a will, there is a way! Don't give up…
And Ron Weasley is a good guy, so I know the both of you will get along wonderfully!
Anyway I'm sorry we can't come. The baby is due around mid-march and Armand is pretty busy with work at the ministry too. This is such a bad time but if the both of you don't have any other option, I suggest you'll go ahead. We'll catch up with you'll later anyway.
Remember: Don't give up and be calm! I'll keep in touch. Good luck!
Love,
Luna

Pansy,
Where are you, young lady? It has been TWO days since I've last heard from you! Have you cancelled the wedding? I sure hope so.
Why a Weasley? I just don't understand! There are so many other people here, Pansy, who would suit you perfectly. You can do a lot better than a Weasley. I can get you someone better than a Weasley. I do not want you to end up like Armand you hear me, so please reply…NOW and tell me you cancelled it!
If I do not hear from you by tomorrow, I will personally come to America myself and cancel your wedding. It is a threat you should take seriously, young woman.
Love,
Mum

Just like the title says, I'd appreciate it if you guys leave me alone. I love Ron and he loves me – that's all that matters! Thank you for trying to look out for me but it seems that none of you'll care about my feelings.
Ron and I WILL marry, no matter what happens. What you guys say have no effect on me. Mum: Armand and I just have different taste. You have to understand that. The death eaters aren't there anymore – there are no divisions between the Slytherins and Gryffindors any longer. That is all part of history. I'm sorry about Dad. Times have just changed.
Pat, as much I love you, there are times when I feel like killing you too (just as much as you might want to kill Ron). Thank you for being my friend, Blaise. You were great, but if it means that I'm going to have to let you go, for Ron, I will do so. I love him more than you can ever imagine.
Now, please don't reply until I tell you all that you can. Thank you and Good-bye!
