I am not a panda.

[goddesspatil]

I'm afraid, through no one's fault, really, I'm in a bit of a state. I'm sorry if you needed to speak with me, but I was a bit wrapped up in my own thoughts around lunchtime, so I was of no help. Again, I'm quite sorry.

I rather hate to be damned if I do, though. As well as damned if I don't.

Is this about what I think it's about?

[goddesspatil]

It was the Panda bit that gave it away, wasn't it?

I never meant for it to be such a concern, you have to believe that, Draco.

[pure_nobility]

Yes, the Panda bit was a bit telling. This explains your fondness for gnawing on bamboo, doesnt it?

Everything in my life is a concern to some people. I'm quite used to it but I suppose that you're not.

[goddesspatil]

I just go through tonnes of that stuff.

It is more that I did not want my motives misinterpreted.

Padma, I hope you know what you're doing. With everything.

[goddesspatil]

Honestly, I do, Hermione.

Believe me.

[the_smart_one]

I do. I just - you see why I'm concerned, I hope? It's certainly not out of lack of faith in your abilities.

[goddesspatil]

I do, Hermione. It's just something I have no desire to explain over these.

We should talk. Soon.
