Private Message to Pansy and Harry

Look this is sort of embarrassing. I'd asked Tyche if she would be free to go to St Mungo's Gala as a friend as my plus one with the tickets Antonin offered me. She is, apparently, dating Odysseus and understandably declined.

Harry are you still dating Katie? I don't want to step on your toes or create another horribly awkward situation by asking someone who's actively dating. Do you think she'd be interested, as a friend?

I assume both of you have your own invitations, but if Katie doesn't work out do you know someone else who might be interested in going with a friendly, not-a-date, escort? Socially I'm like I just spotted the snitch at the very other end of the pitch.
