It was hard to take solace in the idea that Heidi had been really tempted but managed to fight it off. A little temptation was one thing. It was understandable to Tracey to be a little tempted. But, very tempted? Very, very tempted? Tracey didn’t like that idea at all.
Fleur trailing her fingers down her arm made Tracey shiver slightly, though she fought hard to suppress it. So, Gabrielle was a spoiled brat? That seemed to be what Fleur was saying, though she was much nicer about it.
“Professor,” she began, her tone held a hint of desperation. “I need to know if…it’s true that Heidi really had no chance of being in control. Ginny Weasley told Heidi something about you and Gabrielle. If it is true, I think that Heidi couldn’t have. But, if not…I can never trust her again.”
She fought off tears but wasn’t totally successful. Tracey hung her head to hide the couple that rolled down her cheeks.
