Hickengruendler:

A betrayal by Marietta again? I don't think so. IMO, it would be too 
repetetive and rather unsurprising. Also, IMO, it would in hindsight 
confirm Hermione's actions, since it would make Marietta seem totally 
sneaky and untrustworthy. If she would openly confront Hermione, than 
I could understand it. But becoming a traitor again? The empathy I 
currently have for her will completely vanquish, if Marietta does 
this.
