Pansy, I was thinking maybe Neville could write to him privately to say that he really did just trip and he feels terrible that Professor Lestrange would think he was making fun given that he's someone Neville greatly respects and is eager to learn from? If he wrote it privately, it wouldn't restart the fight with Draco saying OH YES YOU WERE MAKING FUN YOU TRIPPED ON PURPOSE YOU PONCE and so on and back and forth. But he could say something right away, tonight. If Professor Lestrange is on Neville's side that'll help a lot, and he's not a bad sort, you know, in general.
Do you think a private comment is a good idea, or a bad idea?
