Miss Brown, I want to say again how particularly disappointed I am in you. Now, it is a fact that men - young and not so young - can forget themselves and lead innocent and untainted women astray.
But it is your duty, my dear, to resist that temptation, to hold true and strong to what you know is right and proper. Now, I think back to your first year, and how dear Parvati Patil was blessed and honoured to lure the unicorn to her, through her tender and delicate purity.
Ask yourself, dear, how much better it would be to preserve that selflessness and continence in yourself, to be a beacon shining to others of the right and best way to behave. You have been misled, but you might yet redeem yourself, were you to truly apply yourself to mending your ways. Professor Carpenter speaks so very highly of you, too, and I would hate for her to be disappointed by your little flaws.
Now, if you are willing and ready to renounce your foolishness completely, and to work entirely with me to allow me to shape you to better ends, we might be able to arrange for you to rejoin the HJC next fall. Perhaps.
