[Hello, Hogwarts, prepare to hear something horrific: Lili's hysterical giggling. Usually that sound means someone was maimed or Alfred was publicly humiliated, but not this time!]

Who turned Jules' head into a rainbow? I'd like to buy you a butterbeer.

I'm glad to know that somebody is amused.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[dofaye]

You've been the most... blatant.

[donttelldaddy]

That's because I'm not afraid.

[dofaye]

Does it really take courage to laugh at my hair?

[donttelldaddy]

A bit. You've friends in high places, don't you?

[dofaye]

Yes, but only in France. Unless everyone is afraid of Rosemariné.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm sure there are a few who are.

[dofaye]

As they should be. It's a pity that so many students fancy themselves heroes.

[donttelldaddy]

You think we should be?

Not being afraid doesn't mean you fancy yourself a hero.

[dofaye]

Even I used to be afraid of him.

No, but those who fancy themselves heroes are often the same as those who force themselves to have no fear.

[donttelldaddy]

As if you're some model of bravery from which I should draw my standards.

Some people don't have to force it.

[dofaye]

You're different. You have good reason to not fear people.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm not the only one like that.

[dofaye]

You're the only one who matters. I know that you're not a fool, but I can't say the same for others.

[donttelldaddy]

I'm sure there are other people who matter and aren't afraid of Rosemariné.
