I've been up for hours but I've not yet moved from bed. Gran's worried, keeps coming to the door to see if I've touched my tea but I haven't, how could I? There was a card game last night and I wanted to go to bed, I didn't want to listen to Dodger's nonsense and bring his mead so I went to bed quite early and didn't stay to see who won the card

You're not making much sense... did you have to go near Muggles again, Tracey?

[misstraceydavis]

No, no, nothing like that. It's just that I'm so angry, and also a little upset as well as shocked. Oh, Theodore, I really don't know what I'm to do. It's such a grim situation.

[nott_likely]

I'm trying to puzzle this one out. So, there was a bet, and now you're angry and Old Boy might cut your ears off? What the fuck did Dodger do?

Sorry, I don't mean to sound angry at you. Is there any way you can get out of this, whatever it might be? Are you in danger?

[misstraceydavis]

Dodger made a bet and he didn't have any money to gamble with, so he had to promise Old Boy something else, instead. And it wasn't my ears.

I'm.. I'm afraid it was something much worse. But I don't think they knew that I would feel this way. I don't believe they considered my feelings at all. Perhaps I could OH GOD, I DON'T WANT TO BE MARRIED!!!

[camdenblaiser]

Tracey, that's awful. No one should be able to decide for others like that. Go to Theodore, and calm down a bit. Then all of us can start helping you avoid this situation.

Would you like me to contact my mother's solicitor? He's quite slippery when it comes to marriage contracts.

I'm so sorry, Tracey.

[misstraceydavis]

I don't know about the solicitor, Blaise. How discrete is he? Because I don't want to expose myself in the process If people start congratulating me on the street I don't know what I will do.

Oh god, am I to be pitied now? The day only gets worse. I do appreciate your concern, however.

[camdenblaiser]

He is of the utmost discretion. If he wasn't do you really believe my notorious mother would find him to her standards?

You will not be pitied. Rather you will be vindicated and rightly restored to making your own decisions.

Have you considered what needs to be done regarding your father? I for one, am quite glad that the finances are safely away from him.

[misstraceydavis]

The troubling thing is that I can usually see Dodger's plans for what they are. I confess, though, that in this situation I do not have an inkling as to what he hopes to gain from this arrangement. Old Boy may have goblin's money, but being of goblin blood, it is very unlikely that he would share it with me or my father.

[wicked_scrod]

I'll make you some Veritaserum and owl it to you straight away.

None of us will let this happen to you, Trace.

[misstraceydavis]

I don't know that it will do any good. Even if he is lying about the unbreakable vow, there is still the ring to consider.

Well, I won't let this happen to me. You can be sure of that.

[withfaith]

As per your request, I shall not feel sorry for you. Instead I shall offer my abject horror at your having been placed in such a perfectly ghastly situation and disgust at said situation being with a half-goblin of all things. I mean, really.

[misstraceydavis]

Thank you, Pansy, I feel abject horror is an appropriate response, though perhaps an understatement when applied to myself.

[withfaith]

I should imagine so.

As Blaise has already offered the services of his mother's solicitor it sounds as if you have that well covered. However do let me know if there is any other way in which Draco and myself can be of assistance.

[misstraceydavis]

Now that my initial shock has subsided somewhat, I find myself concerned on how this reflects upon me. I hope that Draco and yourself will think of me as you always have.

Then again, it's not my job to apologise for those who have wronged me. I suppose it's just habit, my father being what he is.

[so_graham]

Oh, that's awful. I would hate for this to happen, as well, and if there's anything I can do to help, you know you've only to ask.

I'm sure I could somehow stop a 'Newly Engaged' announcement from running in the paper, if one ever comes in.

[misstraceydavis]

Oh, god. If any announcements come in mentioning my name at all, please do see that they are burned or otherwise destroyed. I imagine that Old Boy will see no reason for this to be kept secret, given that he.. he.. loves me as he says he does. Fuck!

[so_graham]

It would be best if this didn't get out any more than it already has, I think. Again, how terrible. I'm sorry.

[misstraceydavis]

I appreciate your understanding.
