I hear from Horace that Miss Parkinson is holding up as well as can be hoped; I have sent you an owl regarding the visit, which I believe ought to take place soon.
Perhaps her mother's condition will help Miss Parkinson put her childish rebellion in perspective.
The Healers say that it was partly a nervous constitution and partly to do with an imbalance of her humours.
I believe, knowing her habits since her husband's passing, that the strain of the last few days took its toll. Her elf told me she had sent him on an errand, but he confirmed that she had barely eaten. No doubt that is why she fainted.
There's nothing to worry about but the Healers must take the business of restoring her to health slowly and deliberately so as not to shock her system further.
I am sorry it came to this, but glad I was in time to help.
Pansy, I am arranging a Portkey so that you may come down to London on Friday and see her. She really won't be up to a visit before then, but I know you will want to be together at least a little while.
I know it's difficult, child, but try not to dwell on her malady and instead let your schoolwork carry you through the next couple of days. I will see you soon.
will I be eckspelled from school? i should be because of being disloyal even though i only want someone to tell me WHY i shouldn't ask questions and no one will but it doesn't matter anymore
is she awake? does she know why im not there with her?
Expulsion is a rather drastic measure, one that the Headmistress would only employ if she were certain that you are beyond reformation. As I have said to many colleagues this week, you are only eleven and there are many other methods we have at our disposal to try before we give you up as a lost cause.
And I have told you already that it is not the questions, but the line of thinking behind them, prompting them, that is of concern. If you properly understood the inferiority of Muggles and mudbloods, I daresay the questions you ask would not occur to you - or at least, the answers would already be implicitly obvious.
When I returned to the hospital this morning to speak to her Healers, she had not yet awoken. I haven't heard anything more, but Crispin will notify me if they call and I am indisposed. I expect that she will be a little disorientated for some time, still. The Healers warned that her first twenty-four hours or so might be ... arduous.
She will be all right, Pansy. She just needs a few days' rest.
