She is a bit of a broken record, isn't she?

How nice of her to repeat all the lovely things she was saying at breakfast right here for everyone to see.

I believe my opinion on the matter has already been very clearly expressed, so I'm not going to bother to express it again here.

I owe her nothing.

It's only a pity I didn't manage to get in a shot at Morag, too.

What do you mean, what I did to her? I've not done anything since duelling club, and that was just a jelly-legs, it didn't even last very long.

Well, she was vomiting blood after you hexed her.

Cruciatus quite often makes people vomit after. It does not usually cause people to vomit blood.

Listen, I can understand why you'd have a high opinion of my hexing ability, but I'm sure I don't know any spells that make a person puke blood.

And even if I did I'd never cast it on a person if it weren't an emergency. Which just running into Parkinson in the corridors wasn't, and as Professor Slughorn and the prefects and everyone have told us, it's against the rules to duel in the corridors, anyway.

Stop lying. Whatever's wrong with Parkinson has nothing to do with me.

I'm not the one lying here, but I understand you have to keep saying that since otherwise you'd need to admit both that you ambushed us, and that you thought you needed at least six people at your back to do it safely even when you had the element of surprise.

Barking mad, the both of you. Longbottom, too.

I was just as shocked as anyone when that happened. And I hope she's all right. I really do.

But there's a difference between a harmless jest of a hexing and really trying to hurt someone. Like, say, the difference between making someone write whatever they want in their journal and making someone's hair fall off over and over, or making a whole dormitory positively crawling with disgusting insects.

Besides, she'd already got a detention. That should have been enough.
