There's no canon to back this up, but I wonder if there aren't 
several types of memory charms, including a temporary one.  KS could 
have done one of those on her.  She was sent off to bed at the end of 
the chapter, but the first mention of her in the next chapter places 
her in the hospital wing.  

It is entirely possible that she went back to the Ravenclaw Common 
Room, and Cho (or another friend), upon seeing her, took her to the 
hospital wing.  They would have certainly asked her about her face.  
Even if KS had obliviated the DA meetings, she would still remember 
her visit with DU.  At this point Cho would have been agast and 
probably pointed out to her that this would have gotten her (Cho) in 
very deep trouble.  Marietta may have decided to keep quiet of her 
own free will at that point.  

KS wouldn't have needed a permanent one, only one that lasted through 
the interview in DD's office.  

Of course, as Marcela pointed out, the DA Ravens could have filled in 
the blanks.

Like I said, no canon to back it up, but it seems someone like KS 
would be the type to use the "softest" method that would have been 
efficient.  Especially when dealing with a student.  Or maybe I 
romanticize KS cuz I'm quite taken with him. <guilty grin>

Just a thought-may be right, may be wrong.  All it proves is that I 
can still type.

Ginger, who thinks Lupin holds back around Harry because he has lost 
too many close to him and doesn't want to get hurt again.
