PARVATI PATIL ✼ 1991-1998 ✼ PURE-BLOOD
Of all the things Parvati could have done with her life, going to work at St. Mungo’s was never on the list of possibilities. Going to work was barely on the list -- and even then it ought to have been more of a hobby than an actual job. She’s a Patil, they don’t need to work...but Parvati isn’t here because she needs the job. She’s here for a higher cause: friendship. Ever since she was sorted into a different house from her twin sister, ever since that first terrifying and lonely night up in the wrong tower, there’s been one person who was always there for her through thick and thin and she means more to Parvati than anyone except Padma herself: her best friend, Lavender Brown. (If she’d read her tea leaves better, Parvati would have just taken her to that dumb ball!)
When Lavender was savaged by that beast, Parvati swore she would find a way to heal her. It doesn’t matter how many people say there’s no cure for even a partial lycanthropy infection; she refuses to give up. It doesn’t even matter how many times Lavender tells her it’s okay, stop -- Parvati won’t let her friend down. Maybe some people (Padma) call it an obsession, but if you can’t be a little obsessed for your friends’ sake, what kind of friend are you? It was one thing to pull away when Lavender was mooning over that idiot Ron Weasley; this is serious. Even if Lav had been fully infected, Parvati still wouldn’t abandon her -- and anyone who thinks a few tainted scars mean that Lavender is less than human now had better keep those thoughts to themselves around Parvati, or she’ll show them that nobody can cause pain like a Healer!
