Parvati,
What a fool I was to believe that a Gryffindor would understand, would care for a much loathed Slytherin. I will not be so foolish again. We are classmates and nothing more, although you made it quite clear you wish it was less.
Lavender is lucky to have a friend like you. I wish I had One who jumps to conclusions and acts with such vengeance before even bothering to ask the accused. You couldn't have known I told Father....no. As if that lecherous git Theodore could have planned all that. Such virtue. If that is your kind of virtue, there is little difference between following you and Potter and company and following Father.
From now on, the hexes you share part of the blame, PARVATI PATIL. Let that be on your brave and loyal Gryffindor head.
Tracey
