Hydra Lestrange Finch-Fletchley

Does anyone know if Ginny still has her copy of Pure Victory?

Aunt Narcissa just wrote to tell me it's to be banned. She thought I had a copy already but I never got one. I mean, I was supposed to get a copy, according to her.

But I didn't.

If she has hers, maybe we could pretend that we'd destroyed it and really keep it?

I'd very much like to read it, especially to know why it was banned.

Hi.

I've been listening to people whisper about Pansy and Sally Anne and Ron and Neville and Luna all day. I'm trying to figure out why it matters. They go to school here too, so why should it matter if Pansy's friends with all of them? It shouldn't matter, of course.

I don't think people would care, if they didn't notice, but Pansy makes sure that they do. When she wrote after the Dogstar arrests, it seemed like a little bit of a challenge to the people who were giving Neville and Ron dodgy looks. Neville because of his parents, and Ron - well, because of his parents, too. You probably know by now that some people think they're took soft for purebloods. And by writing what she wrote, it was almost as if she said "I'd rather be with them than any of you." Even if she didn't say that at all, it's clear now that people took it that way.

I understand how she feels, but...

I don't know if I could do that. Say something so bold and so public. It's just not the way that I am.

Do you hate me for it?
