"Carol responds:

If Harry didn't see their hands, it seems probable that Marietta didn't, either.
Harry didn't tell anyone except Ron and Hermione about his punishment, and it
isn't common knowledge even among the DA members. similarly, Marietta would not
have been in Lee's DADA class since she's a Ravenclaw and apparently a
sixth-year like Cho (which explains why she shows no concern about her DADA
OWL), not a Gryffindor seventh-year like Lee. If such punishments were
well-known, I don't think students would be laughing at that particular decree."


In a closed community like a convent, prison, ship at sea, or boarding school,
no secret remains secret for long.  That's Sociology 101.

transport grow daily more nightmarish.  Only the bicycle remains pure in
heart."--Iris Murdoch
