Did you see what happened to Althea Deverill? I thought she was going to flip her nut when she found out why everyone was staring at her at lunch. She nearly took off Towler's head when he told her what was on her face!!

I wouldn't have thought anybody'd hex her. And anyway, I heard it happened to her boyfriend, too, that Frobisher bloke from Ravenclaw.

Maybe they're joining some kind of club and you have to get that mark on your forehead to join.

I dunno. What do you think it means?

That can't be it, they looked really unhappy about it. Furious even. I thought at first maybe it was something like AK, but they didn't look paranoid enough to start with. And they didn't look like they thought it was funny at all, nearly everyone who got hexed in AK laughed after they got over being cross.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. You're right. Althea Deverill went totally spare when she found out what had happened to her face. I thought at first it was because everybody was looking at her and talking about her, but the more I think about it, she looked really scared, too. And then she rushed off and nobody's seen her since lunch.

I mean, I guess I might be scared, too, if I found out I had an enormous red blotch all over my face that I didn't know how it had got there.

Maybe but Neville just shrugs and goes to find someone to unhex him when that sort of thing happens.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, but Neville kind of knows it's just another hex, now. Since it happens to him all the time.

Maybe she thought she'd caught something and that her face was going to stay like that forever.
