You'd cheer for her if she landed that big symphony, because it's not really your thing, anyway. Sure, we're both girls, and we go to Hogwarts, but otherwise, Parvati and I are very different people. We weren't competition to each other; instead, we supported each other through the whole process. As soon as she got her bid, she owled me and said, "wish you were standing here, too!"

Melindawarren, just when I think you couldn't impress me more you show us even more of your kind heart and level head.. I truly hope you find a home with the daughters... any woman would be lucky to have you as a sister!
