“Why didn’t you fucking tell me!” he shouted. “How could you- you- you fucking poser muggle bitch!” (c is dat out of character?)

Yes.

Also how does this make her not-Goth? I mean, so many other things do, but how does not telling Draco that Voldemort threatened his life suddenly erase her Goth-ness?

The Ten Commandments of Gothic Fashion

1.  I am a member of the Gothic community. You shall worship your own beauty, likeness, and creativity and only you shall you emulate.

2. Thou shall not wear heels thou can’t walk in.

-The unveiling of calloused feet is an unjustly sight.

3. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors gothicness.

- Being Gothic is about originality and authenticity of style - from the inside out. Discover your inner artist and express the creativity that lives within you!

4. Thou shall not wear makeup for another’s face.

-Wear makeup that accentuates your best features, makes your skin glow, and compliments your bone structure.

5. Honor your body and age.

Everything in life evolves, and so should your Gothic wardrobe. Ageing doesn’t mean it’s time to put away the black lipstick. On the contrary, it simply means it’s time to discover the many other fashion divisions of the subculture that will best flatter the evolving you.

6. Thou shall always avoid the sun.

- Always protect your skin - no race is exempt! The daily allowance of Vitamin D only requires a short amount of time in the sun. It is absolutely no secret that UV rays destroys layers of skin and accelerates ageing.

7. Thou shall not mix black fabric undertones.

                                                          -All black fabric is not created equal. Some black fabrics have grey, red, or black undertones. For a flawless look, make sure to match your blacks!

8. Remember to keep holy the color black.

Black is universally the most elegant and appropriate color in fashion. It is also the base color of Gothic fashion. If nothing else, make sure your black wardrobe is darkly radiant.

9. Thou shall not take Gothic fashion in vain.

- Goth is a legitimate subculture. True Gothic fashion centers on artistry and self-expression. It is our cultural lack of mental programming through clothing and behaviour that teaches us how to become self-aware and how to shape our own identities throughout our lifetime.

10. Thou shall wear colors other than black.

There is no Gothic uniform; Goth is not a cult.The Gothic subculture is a community of people with shared artistic interests. Wearing the color black simply does not a Goth make!
