I really don't think she's too broken up. She said that at least she doesn't have to go camping in muck again! And I think she plans to help Mum in the shop, anyway. Lav didn't make it, either - she already Flooed us - so I think she'd've been more upset but they're out together.

Anyway, Lines, I shouldn't worry about being able to cast the Cardinals, if that's what impressed them. Maybe you should use them on Goyle or Crabbe anyway, so they'd let you alone! Only don't do it to those 6th-years. You know Weasley almost got in trouble for casting the Imperius on Professor Carrow? Because he wasn't licenced.

So it's a valuable skill to have, don't you see? And you can always threaten them - I doubt Crabbe's clever enough to know you need a licence.

Or you could let me talk to Malfoy and Marvolo. They can stop anyone doing anything they don't fancy.
