"Are you going to tell me a scary story now?" Mandy asked with amusement, leaning over him as her hair curtained her face. "Because I admit, I read Bram Stoker's Dracula this summer, too. I'm quite fond of them now." she chuckled, grinning again. She shook her head as he mentioned the gossip again. "I don't think she realizes that it's scandalous in Ravenclaw house. She's just caused her own downfall, I think. Girls take that stuff and use it against each other." she whispered, shaking her head and then glancing out across the lake as the sun started to set.
