What a nice scene: lots of "girls' talk" about boys, clothes and other girls *gg*,
and then the funny remarks like You wouldn't believe how pleased people at the Ministry are that Umbridge is hundreds of miles away, poking her nose in up here. - I always thought so myself ;-)
and the serious moments, too, when they think of the need to fight "it" once and for all.....

I love the dialogue here; it's so realistic and flowing and telling of the girls' friendship -- I loved their teasing and casual banter. You do a wonderful job with both characters, making their motivations ring utterly true.

Marietta shook her head. 'It's just - everything's so black and white with her. And she's always right, all the time.'

*nods* A completely believable resentment.

Lovely piece!

Very nicely done, with touches of foreshadowing what's about to take place. I enjoyed this.

This is just lovely. A scene with girls talking, with such a backdrop to be talking against.

Oh, this is lovely! Two girls feeling their way through their choices, and it feels so very real. I love the way you flesh out both characters here. The way Cho is angry at herself for crying, and her comment to Marietta: 'Silly. I know you.'

I like the comments about Hermione (much as I love Hermione, myself), and about Marietta's parents. The dragon clouds act as a lovely framing device, too.

Thank you!
