D'you really think that Hermione of all people would judge you for being a mermaid or a siren or whatever it is that you are? She's the founder of S.P.E.W for Merlin's sake!
No one thinks you're a monster. People just aren't too keen on the idea of something like that happening again. I know I'm not. I don't ever want to have to deal with that nutcase raging on about murdering you anymore if I can help it.
Not that I saw. Didn't really go round browsing everything that was posted when it was happening.
That might be for the best. It's sort of like being a werewolf, isn't it? Full moon? Lupin hated having to go off and hide during that time of month, but he got on all right most of the time after.
