I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

Still nothing of substance from Percy. The only one he's talking to is Penny Clearwater, and she's useless for pumping for information. George gave Aurelius Kappa a thumping for trying to pester him about what happened. That felt pretty good, actually.

(There's one thing we don't get. Why haven't they hauled away Amycus Carrow and sicced the Dementors on him already? What the bleeding heck are they waiting for?)

I know. It's not like he wasn't caught red-handed.

Maybe they're taking so long because they're trying to come up with some way to explain how they're not at fault for letting him stay here so long.

The only reason he's still around is because He wants him here. Because it certainly isn't the Headmistress, or Lucius, or Professor Raz, or even Auror Crouch. They all hate him. You can tell.

It's Him.

And because it's Him, they're waiting to see what He will do.

He just saw someone die. I wouldn't be talking much either.

[alt_gredforge]

Yeah. It's just weird seeing him like this. It's as if someone's drained all the Bighead Boy gittiness out of him. We barely even recognise him.

I can't seem to stop thinking about the time last year he caught me in his office. With Sandoval.

It could have been me.

I just

I feel almost ashamed? It sounds so crazy.

I want so badly for Carrow to just be DEAD. I mean I thought before that I hated him but now I REALLY hate him.

Nearly everyone got owls today with tonics that are supposed to help with grief and shock, I feel like I could drain every bottle in Slytherin and I'd still

I wish I could just drink dreamless sleep potion for the next month and do nothing but sleep and when I woke up Carrow would be dead.

I know what you mean. And it feels awful, wishing death on anybody. Even him.

I'm glad it wasn't you. Not that I mean I'm glad it was her, mind you.

Nobody should have had to die at all.

It doesn't sound crazy at all.

I think you're feeling bad that you're feeling relieved that it wasn't you. If that makes sense.

But none of it is your fault, and none of it is Abbot's fault either. Because neither of those things are the sort of things that people kill people over. Unless you're Carrow, I guess. But this isn't something you could have planned for, or expected.

When I think that it could've been you, I get all shuddery. I don't know what I would do. I feel so sorry for Susan Bones, but I can't even imagine what that would be like. I don't want to.
