Private Message to Papa
Nov. 6th, 2014 11:52 pmI'm sorry Mama and Abuelita were upset by the Matron's call. Honoria will be fine, of course.
She's always had a flair for dramatics, you know that, and she's been lamentably spoiled and encouraged in it, I'm afraid, so Mama is right if she's blaming herself for not teaching her better discipline in the first place. Being the coddled baby of the family, she's always been prone to self-indulgence, and what Mama passed over as 'independence' has always really been rebelliousness.
Well, now the owl's come home to roost, and Honoria's had a taste of what comes to rebels. I mean, honestly, we can't gloss over the fact that she asked the Hat to sort her into that nest of mischief-makers and traitors. It was maybe ten seconds of a curse we all endured in training and that a roomful of others bore up under today. Not that any of them will seek to repeat the experience!
I rather think it might have been the shame rather than the curse itself that caused her fit, knowing she'd dragged our name into infamy. Though, if that's true, this is the first I've seen her think of what her actions might bring the rest of us.
I'm hopeful at least that she might have learned today what her association with halfbloods and harebrains will cost her if she doesn't separate herself from their hooliganism.
Meanwhile, it's my brief to bring the whole sorry assortment into line. I'm beginning to be sorry I agreed to this posting.
