Parvati's summary: Nov-Jan
Parvati spent most of last autumn holed up in her flat, trying to recover from her abduction and repeated assaults, her only outings being the town Quidditch game, where she met up with Lavender, Padma, Tracey and Dean (an old romantic interest.) She did finally start working again at the hospital at the end of November, and on the same day, met Charlie Weasley and hit it off with him - the first new man she's felt comfortable with since the war. In December, she reconnected with Hermione, which got her thinking about her future a bit. After a few set-backs, a Fire alarm in her building (and some therapeutic chats with Lavender) she decided to take a trip to India to meet and learn from a Healer who has made great strides in the treatment of old injuries. In January, once returned from her trip, her loneliness began to weigh on her, and she took up reading romance novels for escapism. She also made a new friend, Victoria. At the end of January, Charlie Weasley came to her for treatment, and she found that he intrigued her even more than he frightened her, so she agreed to meet up or lunch with him, a huge step for her. Lavender helped her sort out her feelings, and she decided to take a chance on pursuing a friendship with him.
