Well, if you do find yourself involved in the wrong way, the more hysterical Gryffindors would likely throw up their arms about it. That's because they like to deceive themselves into thinking they'd do the noble thing in the same situation, when they're not entirely certain of whether they would or not. So it's easier to make someone else a scapegoat than to confront their own fears and self-doubts.
Unless you started wearing t-shirts saying, "Hex me, I'm a Muggleborn," I think I would try to understand. Umbridge seems like the type where if she wants you, there's not much you can do about it. Which is why I'm advising everyone to keep a low profile and not bring any attention to themselves.
Is Karen Bundy alright, incidentally? I was talking to her and she seemed so, but now she has an entry discussing DADA difficulties, and I'd like point her in the right direction, but with your recent comment (though I think I know which parties you were talking about), I want to check that it's not a red herring, you know?
Yes, I'm taking a leap of faith and trusting you on this. And if it turns out to be wrong, well, I do have three older brothers.

Various of the Gryffs would still be displeased if I saved a few dozen ickle firsties from a runaway Hogwarts Express, invented a cure for lycanthropy, owled a bushel of thornless roses to their Common Room AND re-organised all their revision time tables for them all before cooking them breakfast, so I'll just chalk that up as a lost cause if I ever decide that I'm going to actually give a damn.
I tend not to seek attention. It usually finds me, and more often than not is annoying when it does. In this hypothetical situation, it would be no different.
Karen Bundy seems... all right, I suppose. I think she's naffed off at me due to the fact that I couldn't give her a spot on the starting lineup for Quidditch, though, but I can't exactly kick off people who've already been on the team for years. As for the parties who are attracting attention... well, I always did say that an unfortunately large percentage of Seekers seem to have narcissistic tendencies. I can't be more clear than that, I don't think.
I'm fairly sure Susannah has a copy of the book that she needs, at any rate. AND I'm fairly sure that Monique has not gotten her claws on said copy of said book for the purposes of snitching.
