PADMA PATIL eventually becomes the Potions Professor at Hogwarts. She's an excellent teacher, however, her students know that she can be counted upon to play favourites and to eviscerate others when they turn in sloppy homework, misbehave, fail to pay attention, dress strangely, sneeze or look at her crosswise. She corresponds frequently with Seamus and travels to America to visit during every summer holiday until he returns to Ireland, when he starts visiting her instead. She and Lavender meet at the Three Broomsticks every couple of weeks to have a chat and a drink, but when Lavender gets back together with Linus, Padma is endlessly mystified. She still remains friendly with them, but loses no sleep over making biting comments to remind them when they're being ridiculous. She never marries, but when she travels, she tends to engage in a string of one-night stands until it's time to go home again. Her parents have no idea.
