The resolution of Harry’s problem is good, except that we should have had Margaret Bulstrode’s time turner hinted at. (Maybe it was, I should check, but I don’t think that she’s appeared before.)
And as soon as they burst into the Slytherin common room, Tracey Davis took a deep breath and shouted, “Everyone! Harry Potter couldn’t cast the Patronus Charm and the Dementor almost ate him and Professor Quirrell saved him but then Potter was all evil until Granger brought him back with a kiss! It’s true love for sure!”
It was ordered storytelling of a sort, Daphne supposed.
The news failed to produce the expected reaction. Most of the girls glanced over and then stayed in their couches, or the boys simply kept reading in their chairs.
“Yes,” said Pansy sourly, from where she was sitting with Gregory’s feet in her lap, leaning back and reading what seemed to be a coloring book, “Millicent already told us.”
Thank you, I remember that now, although the name didn’t stick with me. Excellent!
And you did say (in this chapter) that she used it for gossip, so I should have been reminded, even if I forgot the name.
ETA: Actually, we’ve got a name mismatch here. Ch 62 says ‘Margaret Bulstrode’ (twice), while your quotation says only ‘Millicent’. The Wikia says that ‘Millicent Bulstrode’ is correct, and also that she’s in Harry’s year (not a 4th year student as Ch 62 says).
So is Margaret actually Millicent’s older sister (not from canon), and if so then why did she let little Millie get the credit for such a nice scoop?
Ch 62

it was mentioned once that Margaret passed on the gossip about harry/hermione’s kiss impossibly fast.
