Oh, you needn't be coy with me. I know you're just dying to see how Padma reacts to this. Knowing her, however, she'll come up with the perfect justification for why I was chosen over her, and that shall prevent her from doing any actual soul-searching--you know, the sort that might lead her to the revelation that she's kind of a bint.
Hah! Yes, of course, I can't wait to see how she'll explain this away. A knut says she'll conclude that of course, council membership is ever so much more important, she's got bigger things to focus on, blah blah blah.
And she might make your job trickier, but we're all giving to be so much better off with you having a wand in things than if she was running the whole bloody business.
Yes, that's precisely the sort of thinking I can envision her soothing her wounds with.
I think she'll be more disappointed about losing out to Head Girl than she would have been if she'd lost out to the council. As far as I know she never really had any aspirations about being marked, but she's been dreaming of being Head Girl since the day she was born, practically.
She may not take this loss well at all, but if she falls apart visibly, she'll look weak to her other council members. That's a rotten position to be in. I almost feel badly for her.
But then I remember that I'm Head Girl, and I don't!
