"I suppose," Minty replied, though it hadn't ever occured to her that was a benefit of remaining in the shadows. It was true, though. If someone had a reputation of being virtuous and beyond reproach, people would have a harder time believing they had done anything indecent. Not that Minty had any plans of doing scandalous things. Still, she had been a Slytherin at Hogwarts and she remembered something he'd told her during an older interaction.

"Reputation is everything. It matters less who you are and more who others think you are."

Minty didn't actually believe her twin was as big of a whore as people thought her to be. She thought her foolish and reckless and damaged goods, but she wasn't a whore at heart. She'd given herself to Reuben Crouch because she had thought herself in love with him. Whores didn't know such a thing as love.
