May 1992
With Lockhart gone, the professors took turns teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Dumbledore had trouble looking for a replacement. In the meantime, despite the absence of attacks, everyone still blamed Potter, and after hearing why Lockhart left, many started to fear her as it was common knowledge that Potter didn't get along with Lockhart.
Our last conversations had been... mmm... a bit formal. She tried to be civil with me, and I wondered if it's because of the note I left her. Then again, I remembered how the words she wrote in her diary disappeared and were replaced by new ones... as if someone was talking to her. Could it be possible that I sent that note to whoever she's talking to, and she never had the chance to read it?

Harriet Potter: Um... Draco?
Draco Malfoy: Yes?
Harriet Potter: Do you honestly think our last conversation had been formal?
Draco Malfoy: Why'd you ask? (pause) I'd rather not talk about it.
Harriet Potter: Come on, you know we promised to tell the readers everything.
Draco Malfoy: I didn't, and I'm not going to say it.

Let's just say that Potter finally forgave me and---

Harriet Potter: After I made him wear a flower crown!
Draco Malfoy: Why do you have to bring that up?
Harriet Potter: You brought it up!
Draco Malfoy: I did not!
OddPAL1: Guys, I have a virtual camp to attend, and we still have to---
Draco Malfoy: Fine, I'll make it quick.

Before the exams, I---
Harriet Potter: Wore a crown of---
Draco Malfoy: Don't say it!
Harriet Potter: A crown of don't say it?
Draco Malfoy: You know what I mean!
Harriet Potter: Oh... you're right, I should absolutely show it instead of simply saying it. I'll go get a Pensieve!
Draco Malfoy: What? No! Harriet Lily Potter, you get back here right now---
OddPAL1: As the narrators chase each other, I shall take over from here. (Clears throat) To make things short, Harry forgave Draco after coaxing him to wear a crown of beautiful white carnations and deep pink roses conjured by Percy. Draco had to wear it because the other option would be to place it on Snape's head.
Harriet Potter: I've got the memory! I've got the memory!
Draco Malfoy: Give---me---that!
Harriet Potter: Did you know I'm also good at keeping things out of reach?
Draco Malfoy: That was ten years ago, Potter! Ten!
OddPAL1: Ano ba yan... Guys! Knock it off! Draco, receiving a flower crown from a Greek mythology fan should be a great honor! And, if you must know, white carnations are a symbol of pure love and good luck while deep pink roses are a way to say "thank you". Harry, why didn't you tell him that years ago?
