Thank you. My mom said something much like this, actually, but I just can't help but feel happy that Parvati found her place...and sad that it was taken away from her. It'd be like (muggle reference here) being a concert cellist and having a friend who's a concert violinist. 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!"
