Rating: General Public
Summary: Catching Lavender up on the meeting & getting free baked goods.

Michael wasn't sure if he felt good about the meeting or not. They had discussed plenty of things and learned loads from all different sources, but there had been confrontation and not many had considered some of what he said to be realistic, which he had expected, but being the dutiful not-boyfriend that he was, he had still said it. He wanted to give Lavender a full account of what all had happened, but he had a feeling she wasn't going to like all of it. Hopefully he could put that part off for a while.

Michael knocked on her door rather than trying to enter through the roof, though at least he had been extended an invitation this time. So maybe that meant that he wouldn't be expecting anything to be thrown at him, not that he wouldn't put it past Lavender to turn the tables on him at any moment. He waited for her to open the door, holding a bouquet of lavender coloured flowers he had procured on the way over to Lavender's flat.

Michael nodded and may have given a small smirk because despite having been ridiculously pissed off, he was maybe a little proud of that fact. And it didn't hurt that the prat had deserved every bit of it. "Yes I did and he bloody well deserved it. No one fucks with my mates and gets away with it if I'm there to do something about it." Which was true with Michael Corner; he didn't like bullies and he wouldn't put up with people being rude to his friends.

"What did he say to you?" Michael didn't know what their exchange was but both of them had said that the other had said things now and he had no idea exactly what had transpired between them. "He said that you called him stupid. And then amended it to 'not so smart' later when I didn't make a comment on it saying I should have stood up for him or something. I told him it wasn't really my place to apologise for you if you were mean to him, but like I told him, I really don't know what either of you two said to one another." He really shouldn't even be asking her what Justin said either, because he shouldn't be getting in the middle of it, but there he was and he knew that he'd be in the middle regardless so he might as well see if he could get a better picture of what was said between the two of them.

She sighed, picking at her cake for a moment as she tried to figure out a place to start. "He wrote me like this letter in the margins of my journal," said Lavender. "He went on about how Bianca is such a good person that he wouldn't even consider a possibility that she might somehow be involved. Then he claimed that lots of people had visions and belittled my suspicion by saying I should have been there to tell everyone." And she had wanted to be there because all of this was important. IT all mattered because it was people's lives on the line, but for as important as it was, she knew that going to that meeting would not have been a good idea, not when it was also the full moon.

"So, I was like, I didn't just dump it on Michael and bunk the meeting, but I honestly couldn't be there, which he claimed to know, but-" She shook her head, that was not the point. Of all of it, it didn't matter if he knew that she couldn't be there or not. She hadn't been there and Michael was her proxy, she hadn't been running away from anything. "I also explained to him how lots of people don't just have visions. I mean he even called the nightmares of our worst fears that one night visions and they weren't. They were more like dreams or waking dreams for you know, the people who weren't asleep and it's not the same thing.

"I also said that just because Bianca is a good person doesn't make what I feel irrelevant or impossible because look at what happened to Ginny Weasley, and I said that we should seriously consider what Bianca's role might be in all of this." Which seemed like a moot point by now because she was on the defensive and if she was dangerous, it was going to be worse now. "And yeah, I said I don't think that he can objective about the whole thing, which he seemed to take offense to and he's the one who brought up that he might not be as smart as others, but he can give people the benefit of the doubt. And really what right do I have calling anyone stupid?"

Lavender had always been a bit sensitive about the fact that she wasn't all that bright. Especially when a lot of her time at school, she compared herself to Hermione Granger who was the brightest witch of her age. That was certainly what at least part of the Ron Weasley thing had been about and even that turned on her. "But I did say he wasn't being so smart because he wanted to prove me wrong by sticking with her for a few days even if she might be imperiused, which isn't that smart. And all of this concludes rather spectacularly with him telling me to..."

She paused not really wanting to say it, but wanting to get across what he told her accurately. "Fuck off and that he expected an apology. And that was just in the journals. So, yeah, mean."
