I think it's simply horrid to make fun of someone's family because of something as crass as money. I thought one of the purposes of the YPL was to show that every citizen deserved respect, and could contribute in a meaningful way to our Protectorate.

All of you that thought it'd be funny to come up to Ron and ask him a question just to force him to say something embarrassing are bullying gits, and you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for taking advantage for a laugh.

And to whoever made him say that nonsense all day long? Director Selwyn used that hex as a very serious punishment, and I don't think it was right for you to use it for a silly prank.

I'm sorry, Ron, you probably don't want it spread about any more that it already has. But it isn't on at all.

I think it's more horrible to make fun of someone for being frightened that something awful will happen to their friends or family.

If Weasley can't take it, he shouldn't dish it out.

There's a difference between teasing someone once on the journals and apologising for it after, and forcing someone to say something humiliating for an entire day.

I'm not saying he's utterly innocent here. He shouldn't have made fun of Finnegan's boggart like that.

But I'm not looking forward to the rest of term if this is the sort of pranks people are pulling just a few weeks in.

I reckon you've got the good sense not to go around insulting the Lord Protector's son or making fun of other people's boggarts, so you'll be safe enough from pranks, Parkinson. Just tell your boyfriend to stop being so daft in future and maybe his year will improve too.

A person who repeatedly runs his mouth off without any thought as to what the consequences could be shouldn't be surprised when his mouth gets the better of him.

Maybe he'll learn something for once, though I doubt it.

I'm sure everyone's so very ashamed of bullying someone who keeps harassing everyone else! Honestly, Pansy, it's a bit early to be putting in your bid for Head Girl, so save the lecture.

Honestly, Parkinson, you act like he was forced to say something that would get him into serious trouble with MLE or something. It may have been a bit embarrassing, telling people he's witless, but it wasn't all that horrible. And anyway, it's not even like he was saying anything untrue! Or are you as ashamed as he is that his family have no money? I mean, they certainly could move into a big, fancy castle like MacMillan's family have done, they've got enough kids. They don't have to live in a tumbledown shack. So they must like it, mustn't they? So I don't see what there is to be ashamed about. Shiva says that beggars are blessed by Rama, anyway.

Though I'm not sure what Shiva says about village idiots. But if your boyfriend hadn't gone and been one to so many people, maybe so many people wouldn't have enjoyed what happened so much.
