I meant to get around to this sooner, but I was too busy checking this week's issue of the Herald three times to ensure that it wasn't filled with lies.

Okay, hi. Lavender, Parvati. I don't know how you two keep sneaking the falsities in that gossip column past Mayzie and I, but it had better stop. I realize that we can't put ourselves above the

Not yet, my young friend! Not yet!

I have a stuffed, purple hippopotamus named Gerard with your name on it.

[puff_madison]

Yeah, okay. I'm only 5 months younger than you, you know.

I gave that back to you.

[rolandbattersby]

In five months, one learns a lot. Especially a child prodigy such as myself. Did you know that I could play Mozart's fourteenth symphony by the time I was two?

I'm giving it back to you, after you gave it back to me, after I gave it to you. It doesn't mean anything. Just take it, or I will do something crazy.

[puff_madison]

Weirdo.

...
Don't threaten me!

I never named it Gerard.

Gossip isn't always true! It's just what people are SAYING! That's what people are saying!! We have to print the truth of what people think!

Sorry if we hurt your feelings, though!

But that's not fair if you don't let us give the public what it wants! We can't lie!

No one was saying that until you wrote your stupid article, Lavender!

I know just as much gossip as you two do!

You are lying. You two made that all up.

[readmyfortune]

People were too saying it! You just missed it because no one was going to say it to YOU!

I don't lie! |>O

Everyone always hears the gossip that's about them. People are like that. Lavender, you guys made it up.

Just, stop! If you didn't think that there was something wrong with what you were printing, you wouldn't have gone to all the trouble to sneak it by Mayzie and I!

I applaud you. I am glad that someone told Lavender the things that I had not the heart to.

An acquaintance of mine will be most pleased to hear that others at the paper have an attitude of tollerance.

[puff_madison]

Thank you, Etienne. I'm sorry if she offended you or anyone you know. Anyone at all, really. She certainly offended me. And I also apologise about that letter in Draco's advice column getting through. I mean, by now, we all know that it was about you, and And, well, thank you.

I'm glad. Not everyone is like that. I honestly don't think that Lavender and Parvati intended harm, but harm was done, and the end result is what matters in this case.
