I don't particularly care for what Cavanaugh has done with the greenhouses. They're all fussy now. I know she's the expert on 'ornamental' gardening, but she likes to pretend growing plants isn't dirty or something. And she's always rearranging things. So they look better, I guess. Which means it's hard to find anything. Next time we go in there, I'll bet you a knut there'll be a topiary. Or she'll have put ribbons on something.

~~And when she ripped up all of Longbottom's~~

Good thing she hasn't rearranged our NEWT beds, ey, Zach?

Finch-Fletchley is still pretending like everything's normal. I think he's well gotten the message by now, but he is rather good at being excessively polite. At least we only have to put up with him for a few more months. Then he can bally well share a flat with Weasley, which will no doubt be heaven, as they can both sit up nights sorting out even better ways to kill things.

Yeah. Makes me wonder what she did to her office.

Although...she was a traitor. Supposedly. I dunno, I almost find that harder to believe than the idea that she's gone. I guess it makes a certain amount of sense, though. The way she was with everyone, regardless of who their parents were, or if they were fostered or whatever.

So maybe we're not supposed to feel like Cavanaugh's changes are a violation.

That's just

I don't know

Being a Hufflepuff, innit?

She was giving help to terrorists. Apparently. The sort of people that blow stuff up. And yeah, they don't care who your parents were either, but that's a bit of a leap.

I wonder if she took the fall for someone.

Or was set up or something.

She might've been taken advantage of, because she trusted people. Or she didn't know what she was getting into.

That's what I was thinking too! Because it is too easy sometimes to end up being taken advantage of when people turn out to be not good people at all. And you wind up trusting them and then later you find out you shouldn't have but it is too late.

Honestly sometimes I think that if they just put all the untrustworthy and horrible people in one House it would be simpler for everyone. Because we could just herd them into their common room and then hex it off completely.

But anyway one cannot tell. I mean, Umbridge was a Hufflepuff and look how awful she turned out to be. I am just glad the Headmaster did not bring in another professor like her for Herbology or anything else. So yes, you might be quite right about Professor Sprout having been led astray and never meaning to actually do anything awful.
