"You were spoiled rotten this summer, weren't you?" Daphne gushed. She did feel a hint of jealousy though because Millicent had seemed to out-do her with the gifts she had received. How was it that had happened? It was positively criminal! Some of the boys courting her were about to get a serious cold shoulder!
"That would be too kind," she said with a smile. "But...I am not sure a young witch should go there unescorted." Daphne furrowed her brow in mock concern. "I think I would need someone to protect me," she pouted. "Would you be willing to protect me?"
"You and Pansy having a row?" Daphne asked as another shrill laugh pierced the air. Glancing over, she saw Pansy fawning all over Draco. She groaned as she felt her stomach do a flip. "Could they be more sickening?" Daphne asked as she pantomimed a gag.
A House Elf appeared next to Daphne. "I will call you if I need you," Daphne said with an annoyed and dismissive wave. There was a puff of smoke and the elf was gone. She didn't need help carrying something as skimpy as what she planned to buy!
