Do You Like It?
She did a twirl, stumbling to land on her behind in front of a young man who'd been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Burning red, she looked up.
"Oh, it's just you, Longbottom," she grumbled, trying to sound indifferent, but glowing even more. Ignoring his proffered hand, she helped herself to her feet.
"What's that you've got there, Daphne?" the man questioned, admiring the purple and grey scarf that was wrapped around her neck.
Daphne looked down at it. "Oh, just a birthday present," she said proudly. "Pansy gave it to me. Expensive, apparently." She emphasised the last part, causing the man to blush. When he didn't reply, she continued. "Do you like it?"
He nodded. "It's quite nice," he observed. "Though, I'm surprised it's not green and silver. I thought they were the only colours you lot wear."
Daphne raised an eyebrow. "My, my, Longbottom, you've come a long way from the bumbling idiot seven years ago."
He beamed.
Daphne looked back down at the scarf, feeling the soft thread through her fingers. Feeling her cheeks tinge red, she eyed the man again. "So, you do like it?" she asked again.
"I do, actually," he confessed.
Daphne smiled. "Good," she told him, "Because I told Pansy these were your favourite colours."
