With the way the night had gone, however, Pansy had probably managed a photograph and it would appear as the lead item on the gossip page.  War Heroine Catches Rare Veela Virus.  Pansy would manage to make the article sound sympathetic rather than vicious so people didn't feel too dirty as they pried into the most private details of her life.   They'd tell themselves they were her fans, that they were just concerned.  They were just interested in her because she was a public figure.  The less charitable would say it was what she deserved for consorting with Veela at all. Lie down with Kneazles, get up with fleas, someone would say.
