You're lucky Parkinson

[alt_padma]

Lucky that didn't hit me full-on.

Think you're clever, do you?


It's no wonder you're such a burden to everyone who tries to look after you. You do have a knack.

Was Madam Pomfrey able to give you a salve for it? You did go to her, didn't you?

[alt_percy]

I would certainly urge you to go, too, Patil. Boils like that can scar if left to themselves, but Madam Pomfrey's salve is excellent and will have it cleared in a trice.

[alt_padma]

Why do they always have to start trouble before Herbology?

[alt_ron]

You started it. I don't know just what you said to her, but you'd better leave it alone, Patil.

[alt_seamus]

Parkinson attacked you at BREAKFAST? Really?

Also, thanks for lending me your wand last night at duelling club. If you're ever duelling someone with a broken wand and want to make it sporting, I'll be happy to return the favour!

[alt_ron]

She didn't attack her, you git.

[alt_seamus]

Oh, I see. Padma's neck just spontaneusly sprouted boils, then?

[alt_ron]

It's not an attack when it was Patil that started it.

[alt_seamus]

Belinda says Padma's wand wasn't even out, how is that 'starting it?'

[alt_padma]

Taking her side, how surprising.

Guess you figure if she weren't around you'd have no shield whatsoever.

But you're wrong. She's got her eye on older men, Weasley. Give over.

[alt_padma]

Yes she DID, Weasley!

If it's any consolation, she followed her bloke's advice to the letter.

[alt_ron]

It's not like she just hexed you out the blue.

Do you even know what your face looks like when you say nasty stuff to people like you were saying to her this morning? It'd make a basilisk fall over dead to see it.

[alt_ron]

What are you even on about?

Her bloke?

[alt_ernie]

What happened? What did she do?

[alt_padma]

I was talking to Morag and she just looked me in the eye and cold as you please she HEXED me.

Luckily I saw her wand hand come up and ducked just in time.

This HURTS. Sandoval says I should go to the hospital wing, but I can't be tardy to Herbology again! They always do this, her and hers.

[alt_neville]

You left out the part about what you said to her first.

[alt_padma]

I didn't say anything TO her.

And anyway, everyone else is thinking it. They're just afraid Mr Malfoy will get cross - and I couldn't blame him, really, it must be really disappointing for him, after everything he's done for her, and the number of times he's kept her from getting into far worse trouble.

[alt_neville]

I didn't hear it, but from the look on her face I'd guess it was really foul.

[alt_seamus]

No one will mind you being late, Padma, just go see Madam Pomfrey! You have good reason for being late, its not your fault!

[alt_ernie]

That's well out of order. She's always been a bit volatile, but hexing someone at breakfast is just going too far! And in front of all the professors, too.

I agree with Seamus, you should go and see Madam Pomfrey about it. She can give you a note for being late, that's okay.

[alt_padma]

Yeah, I'm waiting for her now.

I hate the hospital wing.

[alt_draco]

Sorry you got hexed, especially in such an obvious, non-Slytherin manner. Hopefully, Madam Pomfrey will put you in order.

I would appreciate it, however, if you kept my family out of it next time, as well as Pansy's place in it.

[alt_padma]

Oh.

Sorry, Malfoy. No offence to any of you was meant.

[alt_draco]

I believe you. Hows your face?

[alt_padma]

Better. But I missed nearly half of Herbology.

And I'm so tired of the hospital wing! I don't know how you Quidditch players do it, you must be up there all the time with bruises and cuts and things.
