36. Meeting

"Come on, Lav, let's just go to the meeting," Parvati said. "See what it's all about."

"I just...I'm not sure about this," Lavender mumbled.

"Everyone's going."

"Fay and Ginger aren't going."

"Okay, so not everyone, but they never go to anything," Parvati said. "And I'm not asking Fay and Ginger to go, I'm asking you," she insisted.

Lavender cast a despairing look at the Hog's Head. Its windows were so dirty you couldn't even see inside. "Oh, can't we just go to Zonko's?"

"No," Parvati replied firmly. "Umbridge is a useless old bat and I want to learn magic, not theories. Besides, this is our O.W.L. year! Do you want to get a T?"

"Of course I don't!" Lavender exclaimed. She fidgeted for a moment in deliberation before sighing dramatically. "Oh fine, you win. Let's go to the stupid meeting."

"Brilliant," Parvati said triumphantly, looping arms with Lavender and joining the group that was waiting for them outside of the dirty pub.
