i'll be doing my best, and i'll see you soon (bryonyd) wrote in snitchers,
Ginny Lestrange, she'd never get used to hearing that. She was just as pretty as she always was. Bry had always been jealous of that fiery red hair, and at Hogwarts it was always Weasley, Weasley, Weasley. But now...she knew things got messy after Harry died, she knew things got messy for everyone, but Ginny at least looked happy. Pregnant, but happy. Two beautiful children in tow. How nice that must be, she thought for a fleeting moment and then shoved it off.
"Sorry," she took her hand, "Bryony Dunstan. I--" she stopped short, she really shouldn't be seen out in public or out of Tinworth. Lucius would probably do terrible things. "--but call me Bry." She noticed Ginny's look of concentration and offered, "I was in Fred and George's year, Ravenclaw. Definitely, remember you all, some of my more entertaining memories I will say." A rare smile played on her lips as she looked down at her feet, remembering the time the Weasley twins gave Umbridge more hell than Peeves ever did anyone. It was so easy then. What happened?
Her smile fell as she looked back up and cleared her throat. "I hope you won't, erm, what I mean to say is--" she was stumbling over her words. This was the Minister's wife and she was in a very precarious situation. "--I really shouldn't be here, so I would appreciate you pretending you haven't seen me," she finally said, full confidence on her face, attempting to assume a casual, unsuspicious demeanor.
