Thank you to all my well wishers, I've quite enjoyed the flurry of owls at my window bringing congratulations from friends and family, near and far. But I do wish our country's journalists would think of consulting the subjects of their articles themselves rather than relying on gossip and hearsay. Isn't it interesting how they always somehow cleverly manage to find an unnamed source? One who is willing to add just the right infusion of creativity and dramatic flair to what would otherwise be a staid news item?

But no mind, it would be foolish to tarnish such sunny days with anything other than agreeable thoughts.

	The brazenness of writing blatant lies is so astonishing I almost have to admire it. Almost. My plan is to keep calm and go shopping for form-fitting gowns. Ocular proof and all that. But if you in your great wisdom have different advice on managing the realm of public opinion, I am all ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Almost. That would be considered trying far too hard. Ignore them, and when your waistline fails to expand, they will take that for what it is. That is what my mother would do. What I would do includes egging them on and giving them more evidence than they could stand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps I shall have to evaluate my erstwhile fundamental trust in the Daily Prophet. Is it also possible you haven't produced 50 illegitimate children or fought in 100 drunken brawls? I believe I shall follow your mother's example in this case, as provoking as I found that article to be. Although I may help myself to seconds of wine at the reception.

	And here I was hoping we'd be introduced to a brand new bouncing baby Black. Or whatever the other gossip is that seems to be buzzing in everyone's ears. In all seriousness, how are you feeling? The announcement seemed to come almost out of no where. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I know I shouldn't let it bother me... but it does. I'm not used to being talked about in such a way.

I was unfortunately with mother when she read the stupid article over breakfast. It took forever to convince her it was all drivel and I had to suffer through her shrieks and shrill invectives. I may be turned off danish pastries for life now, which is clearly the real tragedy.

	It's quite understandable. They shouldn't be allowed to make up tall tales of your life. It's a good thing most people don't believe the mindless gossip. Oh no, now that sounds like a worse ordeal to go through than the paper itself. Luckily there are many other pastries out there to take its place, for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Daphne _greeneyed 2013-09-05 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	That is true! The world is gloriously full of sweets. I do hope that once the wedding itself is safely checked off of her to do list that she will return to the more docile mother I distantly remember. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_greeneyed 2013-09-04 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I had hoped the limelight would be more flattering. But one tawdry article is hardly going to going to keep me up at night. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_greeneyed 2013-09-04 09:47 am UTC (link)
	You're right of course. It's just that mother read it before I had even had my first cup of coffee. Quite a disagreeable start to the day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne miss_greengrass 2013-09-04 09:56 am UTC (link)
	I agree, but then again, most of my mornings have been disagreeable when it comes to mother. She has been quite vocal with the disappointment I am since your future husband banned me from court. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She is exacting in all things, it's true. It seems even I fail to live up to her expectations at times. I'm sorry about your situation, you must know it's my hope to remedy it when I am able. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am terribly sorry that the paper felt such an unpleasant way of reporting was necessary, Daphne. It's bordering on slanderous. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_greeneyed 2013-09-04 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	That's sweet of you to say, Flora. I suppose I'll simply having to learn to ignore libelous articles. Easier said than done of course. I hope your own life is free of such unpleasant concerns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Within weeks, you will be the future Queen - and who will these people be? Silly little plebians without an odicum of class. I am almost sad for them. As for me, there is nothing of note occurring at the moment. I believe father is still discussing... certain matters, though he will not say who with, so it cannot be of note quite yet.
