The Skinny.
Lavender's finally broken some bones but it wasn't even her fault. To everyone who saw her in Hogsmeade today, she's okay, she's just up in the Hospital Wing, She shouldn't have broken that much. They're keeping her up there. I think I'll be visiting a lot. I don't know what exactly she's broken but it's a few bits. Her arm, I think, and her shoulder, though I guess at least she doesn't look like a mud monster any more. Speaking of monsters, though - Draco Malfoy, you are a piece of dirt I would like to stomp all over. How dare you. I heard what you said, and that doesn't mean I was by any means spying on you and Lavender. She is a kind and caring soul and you just used her for a laugh, and I don't understand how you could have done that. Seeing as I'm halfway through letting everyone know how absolutely disgusted I am with you, not that you will care, I may as well just tell everyone. Especially seeing as you haven't regaled the entire world with a twisted version of the events yet.
Earlier this afternoon when everyone was in Hogsmeade I was headed up past Madame Puddifoot's - not to meet anyone, mind you, but sometimes it's amusing to look in the window - and I spotted Malfoy and Lavender standing outside. I don't know if they had been in or were heading in, but Malfoy leaned in and kissed her and it gave me the shock of my life, but I stayed quiet - not that I was being quiet or spying or anything of the sort but it might have been a tender moment or something, but on second thought it was Draco Malfoy.
He then shoved her shoulder and knocked her over into a mud puddle, only after telling her that he doesn't "date fat girls".
I'm sorry, but I don't understand some people. Lavender looks like a skeleton these days and her clothes hang off her and I'm terribly worried about her but she's stopped listening to anybody and they're keeping her in the Hospital Wing for malnutrition and she shouldn't have broken so many bones but that's all she is now, skin and bones and Draco Malfoy, you are a filthy pig. I hope Harry punches you in the face again and breaks your teeth. If he doesn't, I'd quite like to.
Happy birthday, Lavender. I'm sorry that you got some things you didn't wish for.

Well, I've always known Draco Malfoy is a twisted little snotrag but this is rather startling. I had no idea Lavender was so dangerously frail - I mean, I suppose you're right, her robes do hang off her, but still, I thought you helped her revise her "Don't Eat" list.
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 05:04 am UTC |
Well, I didn't actually help her, I sort of just changed it without asking. You know Lavender, I was hoping she wouldn't notice. Evidently she did; I think she stopped eating everything a couple of weeks ago. I wish I was joking but you've seen the way she drinks water, she practically inhales it.
(parent)| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 05:11 am UTC |
Oh, no. I feel so awkward and guilty. She's my room mate as well as yours - I should have said something, or helped her look up a better diet, or kept her away from Malfoy, or really just something. I've never felt close to her but I've always thought we were at least friends, and she really is very sweet, and does not deserve to have Malfoy being a slime to her on top of this problem with eating. It's completely inexcusable of him. And I really do feel bad for not knowing her any better. I had no idea it was her birthday.
I'd like to go visit her with you tomorrow, if you don't mind.
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 05:23 am UTC |
You feel awkward? For years she was my best and closest friend. Look at me, I'm talking like she's gone or something. It must just be the general mood. We shouldn't feel guilty because it's not like she even listened to me at all but I shouldn't have given up, okay, evidently I feel terribly guilty. Lavender's not the brightest spark but she's loyal as anything and can always make you smile. I really just want her better, I suppose. I got her something at Hogsmeade earlier today, I left it next to her bed up in the Wing so I hope she opens it and feels a bit better. I just feel rotten.
It'd be really nice of you to come up tomorrow. I'm going up before classes and after, so whichever you want to come, you know where to find me, haha.
I wish I could knock Malfoy back into his place somehow but it's not like I even know where his place is, I'd just like to belt him one. I think it'd feel really good right now, to be honest.
| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 05:32 am UTC |
Well, I have slapped Draco Malfoy and I know it feels good at the time, but I think it only worsens things in the long run.
I'll come up before classes, and perhaps for a bit after also. I usually revise but I haven't been able to concentrate in the mornings lately, anyway. I feel like I should bring Lavender something but all I have is chocolate and I really don't want to bring food to her.
And Parvati, you really have been the best friend to her that you can be, I think. Forgive me if I am being rude by saying so, but you have had your fair share to worry about besides Lavender.
| deanthomas @ 2004-04-26 05:52 am UTC |
Let me see what I've got saved.
HA!
Those House Elves are going to be SO promoted. SO welfared. And Malfoy is going to be SO slapped.
| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 05:58 am UTC |
I'm glad to know you support the organisation so selflessly, Dean!
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-04-26 06:01 am UTC |
Hey, your organisation is being supported, isn't it? Does it really matter why?
House Elves have...uh...the cutest ears.
| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 06:10 am UTC |
Of course it matters why. However, I really cannot shun any monetary support...
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-04-26 06:17 am UTC |
Atta girl! That is to say...you are nothing if not entirely dedicated. Most impressed, most impressed.
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 05:47 am UTC |
Hermione! Hahaha! You've just been bumped up a notch in my list of favourites, I think.
I haven't been able to concentrate much at any time, so I sympathise. And Lavender really likes pink. If you have anything pink you dislike, now's your chance to get rid of it. It's not even a show or anything, she really just likes pink. Other things, too, which she will quite happily talk your ear off about, if you let her.
I really haven't, I've been a horrible friend just recently and everything is my fault lately. That's about all.
| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 05:55 am UTC |
I have more where that came from, you know.
And please don't think any of this - with Lavender, or the Weasleys, or anything - is your fault at all. No one thinks so! You can hardly be blamed for Voldemort being, well, completely evil, to put it bluntly. Of course, I might feel the same way if I were you, but please do believe me. Nothing is anyone's fault but Voldemort's.
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 06:03 am UTC |
Could you not say his name, please? It really just makes me feel like throwing up.
(parent)| missgranger @ 2004-04-26 06:07 am UTC |
I'm sorry, Parvati.
I can't help but notice that you have not creatively capitalised once in this entry or in any of your comments.
| wheresmytoad @ 2004-04-26 12:06 pm UTC |
I'll stop by to visit her, and I've got a pot of pink flowers I'll bring her.
Thanks, Pavarti.
| wheresmytoad @ 2004-04-26 12:03 pm UTC |
I've been worried about her for a year, and I've noticed this month how terribly bony her wrists looked--about all you can see through when she's wearing robes--but my attempt to get her help last year failed spectacularly. It sounds awful to say when what happened must have hurt her so much, but I'm so glad she's finally getting the help she needs.
And yeah, Draco Malfoy is a worm who deserves to be squished.
| deanthomas @ 2004-04-26 05:38 am UTC |
Shite, poor Lavender. Believe me, Parvati, you are not alone in your sentiments regarding Malfoy. We should start a pool and set Harry up with a set of wicked brass knuckles. Razor would be good too.
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 06:03 am UTC |
Or, you know, we could just get Malfoy's wand off him and let loose with our own. Oh, sorry, I meant to say that violence is not the answer, Dean.
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 06:25 am UTC |
I don't think I'd want any of us to sink as low as his level.
(parent)| wheresmytoad @ 2004-04-26 01:00 pm UTC |
Actually, there is one other consolation that comes out of all this.
If Malfoy thinks Lavender is too fat for him to date, then it stands to reason that every girl in the world is too fat for him to date.
So he'll never have children, and we'll all be spared another generation of Malfoys.
| seamus_f @ 2004-04-26 06:38 pm UTC |
I would venture to say that this is some sound reasoning, Neville.
(parent)| seamus_f @ 2004-04-26 06:41 pm UTC |
He isn't worth it. He fights dirty. Honestly, pushing a frail girl to show how surprisingly evil he is. I mean, really. It's pathetic. Pushing Lavender is like kicking a puppy.
Don't brood. If you feel like brooding come find me and we will attempt to not brood together.
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-26 09:55 pm UTC |
If there's no brooding involved, could there be smiting?
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 11:28 am UTC |
Oh! Ron, hi, you? I mean yes, I am, I suppose. You?
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 11:50 am UTC |
Are you sure, really, or not really sure? Lavender's stuck in the hospital wing, how would you be if you were stuck in the hospital wing? Oh, that wasn't supposed to be mean or anything, I just know I would feel horrible. She hates Malfoy again, anyway, which can only be a good thing. Gryffindors united again, it seems.
(parent)| knight_to_h3 @ 2004-04-28 11:57 am UTC |
Not sure! I dunno! How are any of us supposed to feel, I guess. I didn't know she was having happy little teas and crap with Malfoy, wtf. Was she losing her mind? Did she just forget about Trevor, or what?? Good thing you followed her!
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 12:01 pm UTC |
I didn't follow her! Well, not much, I just kind of stumbled across her. I didn't have anything to do, at all. Everyone was everywhere else.
I think she'll be okay. Well, actually, I don't know but I suppose I just hope. I have to be there for her more than I have now. I've been terrible. I am just a terrible person, I think.
| knight_to_h3 @ 2004-04-28 12:06 pm UTC |
Sorry I wasn't there, should've come back Friday. You like Puddifoot's?
Don't start, you haven't been!
| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 12:09 pm UTC |
Well, I honestly didn't know if you would want to speak to me at all, so I suppose it's good you are. I'm so sorry, Ron.
(parent)| knight_to_h3 @ 2004-04-28 12:17 pm UTC |
Don't! Why would I not want to talk to you?! Don't be like that, of course I want to talk to you, mostly you actually, I dunno what to say to anyone, what is there to say?? Do you like Puddifoot's, we can go there if you want.
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 12:33 pm UTC |
Really mostly me? Well! I have to admit I feel quite a bit better, now. And Puddifoot's is all well and good if you're a - well, yes. We could go?
(parent)| divineparvati @ 2004-04-28 12:48 pm UTC |
Next Hogsmeade, then. Though I don't expect to wait until then to speak with you?
