Michael knew how things went when people got scared. He'd read enough books to know and when she mentioned turning against each other, one in particular came to mind: Lord of the Flies. He knew just how quickly it could turn into this and he was scared that he might have contributed to the witch hunt by calling out Bianca's name, even if it was true that her case was different than the rest. Maybe he shouldn't have enabled Lavender's suspicions, regardless of how scared she seemed. He wanted to protect her and make her feel safe, but looking back at the fallout now, it seemed more likely it had done more harm than good. Maybe he was doing all of this because he cared too much about Lavender's well being, not because he wanted to find out the truth about Bianca's visions.
He nodded. "I guess this isn't how we started things out in seventh year, huh?" It seemed a lot easier back then, all under one roof and nowhere else to run to unless your parents decided to pull you from school. "Look Lav, I'm here. I don't think you're nutters. I haven't since you first told me. I wouldn't have told them if I did. What you have noticed is true. And maybe Bianca is just a special seer or maybe she is having the visions because she's remembering things she's done. We don't really know one way or the other. All we know is that her case is different and that is something to be weary of, no matter how sweet she might be. That doesn't mean we want her stoned to death on the spot, but I guess-I guess you should just steer clear of her and Justin for a while until we find out more about her visions. Hopefully it will all cool down and we can get some answers."
