" But why should she be.  She broke an oath!  She made her bed, so to
speak, and must lie in it.  A punishment is pointless unless it is
followed through."

Del replies :
Sure ! And why not reinstate the Red Letter for adulterous women while
we're at it ?! Marrietta, a 15-year-old girl, has had to keep those
monstruous pustules for more than 2 full months !! And the worst of it
is that it is completely useless anyway, since she doesn't *remember*
WHY she is being punished, now that Shacklebolt erased her memory ! If
anything, the punishment could actually backfire, by definitely
convincing Marrietta that the Trio are cruel.

I mean, honestly, it would have been pure *compassion* for Hermione to
help her get cured ! And I notice that neither Ron nor Harry cared
about it either...

Del, incensed that anyone could consider such a CRUEL treatment of a
15-year-old girl as acceptable.
