Narcissa’s peach silk robes flowed to the floor in a fluid sheet. The Witch Weekly publisher at her table was clearly trying not to stare as Narcissa worked to convince her to take a large risk.
How do I fool her, Pametha thought, into thinking I’m not completely intimidated?
“I need a name,” Pametha said, steely.
“Not yet,” Narcissa chided. “But the man my son will take to the Equinox Ball is, I assure you, someone you will wish you had exclusive rights to photograph beforehand, if you are foolish enough not to accept my incredibly generous terms.”

“I can neither confirm nor deny any name,” Narcissa continued, while she — with one motherly glance — guilted Pametha into sipping tea.
“But I know you are as aware as any publisher of who is talking about a new beau he has hidden away.”
Pametha had never seen such pale eyebrows carry such significance.
“You imply Harry Potter,” Pametha said, silently replacing her teacup in her saucer.
Narcissa didn’t so much as blink. “Do I?” she said, and sipped her tea.
Pametha, on the other hand, surreptitiously spelled a cooling flow toward her own hairline.
“I imply no one,” Narcissa declared.

“But speaking of Mr Potter, how do you think the Prophet will handle his big reveal?”
“They shall botch it,” Pametha said, certain.
“How do you think Mr Potter will feel about that?” Narcissa asked lightly, sounding merely curious. She offered Pametha no chance to answer.
“Would it not be wonderful to be the sole large-circulation publication, complete with color photos (unlike the Quibbler on both counts) that Harry Potter and his beloved feel positive about? The way Potter speaks in the press, I think he wants to propose. Someone will want an exclusive to publish the weddings photos, mm?”
