Lovegood

[alt_lavender]

I got an owl from Mummy at breakfast, and it's true. We're going to be fostering Lovegood. Mummy says it's our Wizarding Duty because Lovegood's mother was Daddy's third cousin once removed, and the Protectorate wants her to be with a relative.


I still don't see why she can't go off and live with the Weasleys; she's friends with them, they want to have her, and if she ended up living in a closet or something it would be her look-out.


But I suppose we have to do our Duty.

Abuse takes many forms Sally Anne. Clearly if the living situation makes her feel unwanted, its not a healthy environment. And Lavender deserves what she gets if she can't keep some thoughts private. Clearly what she is writing is just a sample of whats to come for my dear friend.

Just because all looks well on the outside, doesn't mean there is not something wrong.

Whichever one of you Gryffindors is reading this, please tell Ginny that if she goes on like this she's going to make it a lot less likely that the Browns will let Luna visit you on holidays. It is also entirely within their power to forbid Luna from receiving owls from Mrs Weasley, at least openly.

Ginny insulting Lavender is only going to make things WORSE for Luna, not BETTER. I'd say it to Ginny myself but I don't want to give them (the Browns I mean) any ideas.

I'll tell her. Right away.

That's not what Lavender was saying at all!

As for things looking well on the outside, but being wrong on the inside, perhaps you ought to go up to Matron to get your head examined, Weasley.

And you might also tell her not to lecture a fostered halfblood on the subject of abusive foster homes and unhealthy environments.

Um. Yeah. Definitely.

I expect she's been talking to Dean Thomas.

I don't think his foster father is very kind to him.

Which should give her an idea of how much worse it can be than the Browns, really.
