Alright, Jones

[alt_lavender]

Since you don't seem to be getting the Hint, let me spell it out for you: Stop. Following. Us.

Parvati, Padma and I have Things to Do, and do not want to hear about the new hair charm you tried, or how Terribly mean Bones is being to you now, or what you think about about the transfiguration homework.

In fact, we'd rather not have you underfoot at

Oh, Lavender, I am SO glad you said something!!

I'm sorry I've been really distracted lately but I met Finnigan this morning and I think I've got the banking thing for this Thursday's flying lesson. And then there was Potions - you'll never guess!

But meanwhile, I feel just awful that Jones has been after you all week. I'm so relieved you've told her the blunt truth.

I mean honestly, does she really think just because we were amused for a little while, we'd want her around forever? Your completely right and it was only a matter of time before she showed her true colours.

[alt_lavender]

You don't mind that I went ahead, then? I mean, we all agreed she was getting Tiresome.

[alt_padma]

No, I don't mind. I think it was very Brave, just like a Gryffindor ought to be.

It's really difficult sometimes to do the right thing, but you did it. Really, you probably did her a favour by being so very clear about where she belongs.

[alt_megan]

Then why weren't you clear before? I think you should have been clear before. It's not fair to be clear now and not clear before.

I thought you were so splendid.

[alt_megan]

But I didn't I wouldn't

You said

I

Why

If you didn't want to know, why did you keep asking? I thought

Can't I But

I don't understand!!! I did what you said. Why are you angry with me? What can I do? I've been trying to make you not angry. I don't know what to do. Please tell me. I want to be your friend. I thought

Please?

[alt_lavender]

It was a test, Jones. The answer just wasn't what you thought it was.

[alt_megan]

What was the answer?

Was there an answer? Sometimes there isn't. And you try and try and

I suppose you don't have to have me like she does, so it probably won't do any good to

I really wanted to be

Oh. What was the answer?

[alt_lavender]

As if I'd tell you now.

[alt_ernie]

You leave Susan alone, Lavender Brown. Shes done nothing to you.

[alt_lavender]

Only Deceived us all. Admit it, you thought she was Pure, didn't you?

[alt_ernie]

I don't know much about that stuff. I just know Sue is my friend and my housemate, so you better leave her alone.

[alt_lavender]

Oh come off it Macmillan, it's not as if we're hexing her in the corridors or something.

We're just letting everyone know the truth.

[alt_hannah]

Lavender,
You didn't have to smear Megan like that. Being half-blood isn't something she can help, not like being rude like you.

[alt_megan]

Oh! You don't hate Thank you!

[alt_percy_w]

I can't believe I'm about to give such . . . Slytherin advice, but I feel I must point that whether or not you are, in fact, superior to Miss Jones because of your blood status, it is perhaps rather rash to needlessly air other people's private secrets before the entire school. Apparently, you think yourself above reproach, but remember: you are going to be here for seven years. You have plenty of time to develop secrets of your own, and believe me, people have very long memories. There are people in House Hufflepuff who ARE pureblood, who may be future family members or coworkers, not to mention all your teachers who read these journals. And you have just demonstrated to them all that you are not to be trusted with a confidence. I would be a bit more careful if I were you.

[alt_draco]

My father told me something dead similar to that once.

[alt_percy_w]

Out of curiosity . . . your father was a Slytherin, too, wasn't he?

If so, then I'm pleased that what I had to offer is something with which he agrees.

[alt_draco]

Both of my parents were Slytherin, yes.
