I don't understand why she has to gravitate towards one extreme or the other. What does she want from me- total obedience? Who doesn't have issues with close friends of lovers? Or... would-be lovers in Arjun's case.
Do you know you were mentioned in the Daily Prophet today? That's what my mum called about. I was mentioned too.
..not anymore. I wrote a- well, it's not anything official, but I wrote myself a manifesto of sorts, just to try to get over my feelings of jealousy and inadequacy and build some self-confidence. Oh Merl
There's this new columnist whom The Daily Prophet introduced this morning, for no other reason than to stir up political tensions, I'd think. Or perhaps to work on the weak-minded who crave social acceptance.
It said that you are a philanderer and I, by association, am a brainless- harpy, according to my mother. I read it, and what she really wrote was that you impersonated Celestina Warbeck and were "rewarded with kisses, much to my chagrin." The entire article is almost fully saccharine in malicious sentiment... and my mother believed it. Believes.
Padma, listen, yeah? You're bleeding incredible. You're the most incredible person I know. You've nothing to be jealous over. Fact is, all those other witches, they've reason to be jealous of you, and I'm not bloody touting myself as the reason why either. I'd be at the bottom of the list, more like. That reminds me - remember that list I owled you last year? Pull that out and re-read it. Seems you've some revising you're needing to do.
Sounds like someone was bored off their arse and decided to write some worthless bollocks for their own ruddy amusement.
Your mother believes it? Shows how well she knows you, doesn't it.
Mikey. Stop tempting me with thoughts of revision. ...I know I'm a decent person, even if not of "the upper echelons of society." But I need you to know- there's nothing or no one further from the bottom rung of my life than you.
..I have a feeling it wasn't that unplanned, actually.
I can't blame you if you don't like my mum, Mike. Especially in comparison with your mum... your mum is so incredible, so kind and giving, responsible and caring. I suppose it's only fair. You've the better parents, and I've the better sibling.
You're in the upper echelons of my society for what it's worth.
Doesn't matter if it was or wasn't, right? If you're not going to pay it any mind, then that's all there is to it.
My mum's brill, I won't argue that. Though she reckons there's some good in Alex buried underneath all the evil, so take that how you will. And I s'pose this once I can grant you the better sibling.

Oh Mikey. I reckon I should reward you for the admission.
