Betray: to deceive, misguide, or corrupt

[rotae]

I would just like to convey how crushed I am due to my own house's refusal to believe my eye witness testimony. The only people who believe me are the Gryffindors. My own house thinks I'm under the Imperius Curse, or worse, actually a Death Eater.

I was so absent from the Hogsmeade trip because I've been undertaking my internship with the Aurors all this week. That is why I was there, and I helped out in the fight.

When I saw opaleyes unmasked after she was captured, I realised that she was one of the Death Eaters I had been duelling. I cannot convey how devastated I was by this.

As she was lead away, Nikki was screaming that she was innocent, and justice would out. But I can't deny what I saw in her eyes. She was working with them. She was trying to take down Aurors. She tried to take me down.

My own Head Girl. My fellow leader. My friend.

She was heading for the Floo network. I can only assume that it was to either escape, or to get to Hogwarts.

I then spent the rest of the day helping with the ensuing chaos, and this is why I couldn't come forward earlier. I come home to find my house cold, and untrusting of me.

I fear for my school.

If you don't believe me, then fine, the truth will out. But stay strong, Hogwarts. These are fearful times, and people who are afraid do stupid things. I hope you will choose the light.

Constant vigilance.

Peace,
Rotae

The Gryffindors will continue to stand behind you Rotae. And the Puffs will come around once they get over the shock of all this. This is what happens when you are loyal to people and not causes.

See, I actually believe you, but I don't trust the Gryffindor officials xD
Which is difficult, because you claim to be on the same - the right side.

Oh no. *hugs* I hate to hear you so distraught. You still have friends in Hufflepuff house.

It's amazing how much influence one person can have, yes?

I CAN'T BE LOYAL TO YOU AND opaleyes AT THE SAME TIME! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! I AM GOING TO SIT DOWN WITH SOME GLITTER AND SAFETY SCISSORS AND MAKE SHINY THINGS UNTIL IT ALL GOES AWAY!!

It is so hard to see the big picture with all of this but I am here for you.

I stand by my house, but I stand by my friends even more so.

That's it, I'm calling the board of directors, you crazy kids obviously don't have enough homework to occupy your time. And no, I will not owl you more chocolate or poisonous herbs.

Thali and I are organizing defensive spell practice. Would you like to join us?

your journal title word is making me wary.

I, for one, am not the least bit surprised to see a Hufflepuff implicated in this. Hard-working? Loyal? Big pointy teeth?

Smells like Death Eater to me.

I believe you!

I'm very confused, but I believe you!

Awaaaah!

I-I-I dunno who to believe anymore.

WHERE'S THE VERITASERUM WHEN YOU NEED IT. T^T
