Who Poppy Caxton and Ginny Weasley What A conversation about Michael Corner's journal When During the train ride to Hogwarts. Where...on the train Rating High, probably, for language Status Closed/Incomplete
Poppy was far from guiltless herself. She probably shouldn't have called those bantering against Crabbe and Goyle morons (even if they were surprisingly stupid) and she wasn't sure how smart it was that Harry Potter had decided to go to the Hit Wizards about any of it either. It all seemed, to her, to be blown out of proportion. If people didn't like Crabbe and Goyle they shouldn't have commented on their bloody journals--had they not then pretty much all of this would have been avoided. Everyone was making a mountain of a mole hill and Poppy hoped, she hoped that Ginny would understand it, at the very least.
Michael and Hannah crossed a line with her. She could ignore the incorrect referrals to the American Revolution, she could look past that he clearly didn't read half of what she wrote before responding to it, and she could forgive--even--his enthusiasm for wanting to use Dumbledore's Army to help back up his friend--but there were certain things that were inexcusable to her. Telling her to leave, telling her to shut up, calling her delusional and telling her to piss off among them. Not to mention the fact that Hannah was just as bad, pulling rank like being a prefect made a difference when they weren't in school and when it was a DA matter and not a school one. Really, she almost had it in her to go to Sprout about Abbott's attitude because that wasn't someone she wanted representing her or her House.
She found Ginny in the compartment where she knew she would and Weasley booted the other students temporarily from the cabin so that the two girls could have a moment to talk. Poppy settled in beside her with a sigh and a half-smile.
"The year is really starting off on the right foot, isn't it?"
