The trick is to make half of what you're saying utterly sincere. That way, no one will be the wiser.
I may be a prefect but you're the one that was just a hair away from taking the mark. I'm glad you didn't. Alfred's terribly disappointed, the idiot, but he's hoping that his good showing will mean he gets chosen in a few years.
Part of the reason Samantha was in St. M's for so long... well, what the centaurs did drove her a bit mad, I think. She wasn't herself, most of the time, and when she did seem to come to her senses, she'd try to kill herself. It's been a month since her last "episode." Her parents are hoping she's past the worst of it. I think they give her a lot of potions, though. To keep her calm and such.
It's just sad, though, because before Teddy died I heard him telling Vince that Samantha got what she deserved because she was a promiscuous girl. Well, "whore" is what Teddy called her. And I know that Teddy was disgusting but I think some people might share his opinion. Worse, I think she shares his opinion.
So, cards and letters and things really might help.
