"You know what, Rita, you’re right. I know exactly what you are talking about. But I know something else too. The Dark Lord hates thinking that I am defying him, but he would hate someone like you pointing that out to all of Hogwarts. They would probably retaliate on you too. So remember Rita, you can out me if you want, but I doubt He will take kindly to the whole of the school knowing that I’m being recruited and defiant." Dorcas knew exactly what game Rita was playing, and refused to be played. "It may just be one little story to you, Rita, but for me she is my best friend."
"Oh love, I can take care of myself, I always have so you needn't worry about me, I can publish any story I like, and I quite intend to." Rita smirked and leaned against one of the walls, flipping her blonde hair. "You know what, you're right it is rather cruel to make you rat on your best friend, so I'll tell you what, why don't you find me a better story than Marlene and we'll call it even."
