Order only: Private Message to Sally-Anne and Pansy
Look, I can't PM all three of you, but I'm really disappointed you and Ron didn't think of a way to let Draco know what was happening.
He could have humoured Patil long enough to get her help. He could have avoided her or at least told St M's that he thought it was a potion. Did any of you think to trust him not to only tell what he needed to tell, without getting any of the Order into trouble?
And even if he didn't have to tell anyone, he deserved to know why she was going after him. He thought it was his challenge!
It wasn't right to do that to Patil, either. She's a horrible cow but no one deserves being forced to humiliate themselves in public. Terry and I should know. And certainly no one deserves to be driven to try to commit suicide. Someone should have been ready to watch for a reaction like that. Love potions are really dangerous, even mild ones. And it's positively cruel to play with someone's feelings, no matter what the reason.
I know you have a history with her but that's all it was: Cruel. And unfair to Draco, too. And I thought you were all better than that.
That's all.

I didn't know Padma'd tried to commit suicide. And I'm sorry to hear that. And maybe we should've told Draco about it last night, once she started clinging to him, but we thought it was obvious that it was a potion, and that her friends or the half-dozen Healers in the crowd would handle things.
Ugh. What a mess.
Anyways, yes, I'm sorry we didn't tell Draco last night, and that it got to be such a trouble for him today, and I'll tell him. I do think he was overreacting, though. Threatening to quit and everything, I mean. Do you think there might be something else going on that'd set him off like that?

And I guess it wasn't as obvious to everyone else as it was to you, but then no one else knew you'd done anything.
