I hope everyone in Ravenclaw is doing okay tonight.

I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Sarah Fawcett.

No matter what she was in trouble for, she didn't deserve to die like that.

Private Message to Midgen and Jones

I've just got notice that your tutors were certified, and it's all been sorted for them to start working with you.

You can meet them first thing tomorrow morning to sort out schedules. I hope you'll get some good use out of them.

Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

Hello.

Are you back from the Infirmary?

I hope you're feeling okay.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_megan]

Oh. Yes I'm back. Madam Umbridge wanted me and Healer Kerr said I was just taking up space anyway and am well enough. So I've been putting Madam Umbridge's files back together. MLE left them on the floor. All of them. And it looked like somebody used a stirring charm on them like the one we use in Potions. So it took me a while. But it's done now. But I'm not feeling okay.

Harry?

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

Yeah?

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_megan]

Is it true?

Is Sarah
is sarah dead?
please don't let her be dead

I don't know. It's hard to tell for sure.

I mean, all they know is they can't find her, right?

And.

It's

It's hard to know sometimes when you do something how it'll turn out. And sometimes you look back on it and think about all the things you could've done different. But at the time, you didn't know. And if you did, you would've taken it back.

And that's okay.

Like in the Triwizard cup, when we were in the second task, I tried to save Fleur, because she looked really bad off, and I wasn't thinking that someone else would take care of her. And because I went for her instead of the Oroboros, like I was supposed to, I

I made my Father really angry. And that wasn't good.

And I felt really awful about what happened after, because it was my fault, because I made him so angry. And I wish I could take it back, and that I did something different.

But I didn't know. I was just doing what I thought was right.

Um.

Anyways.

I'm glad you're not in the Infirmary any more.

But if Sarah ran away because Madam Umbridge was so angry then it is my fault because I made Madam Umbridge so angry earlier in the day.

please don't let her be dead
please don't let her be dead
please don't let her be dead

She shouldn't have run away! But she probably didn't know how to calm Madam Umbridge down. It's important to always do the right thing because then she doesn't get so angry. But sometimes she's already angry and then nothing helps and then you just have to wait. And if you're really quiet she doesn't hurt you so much. So that helps. But Sarah didn't know that and she must have got scared and run. it's always worse if you run And that doesn't help. Sometimes nothing helps.

Does your Father get angry a lot?

maybe if you were really quiet he wouldn't

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

Yes.

He does.

No matter what I do.

I think maybe she was thinking that what happened to Sophie Fleet would happen to her. Which is why she ran.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_megan]

WHY DID SHE EVEN TRY TO GIVE ME THAT POTION IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THOUGHT SOMEBODY WAS TRYING TO TRAP ME. AND THEN I THOUGHT IT WAS A TEST.

Because everything is a test. A test of our willingness to serve. Madam Umbridge says. To bring out our best selves.

Do you think everything is a test?

I tried my Patronus again. After we talked because you said it wasn't against the rules to practice it by myself. It doesn't work any more. I think it's broken.

i don't have a best self

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

You could try thinking more about the day at the zoo, and what it was like. Like we were talking about in the Infirmary.

Maybe.

And why you were happy when you made the memory.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_megan]

I know we talked about it but

I can't make the happy stay.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

Yeah.

Well.

Hogwarts isn't a really happy place these days, is it?

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

Maybe she just wanted to help. Because she thought you needed it more than she needed to follow the rules. Even though it meant she might get her wand snapped.

I think some people like to test us.

But we have a choice about what we're going to do about it.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_megan]

I WISH SHE NEVER HAD.

I told Susan she should leave me alone too

People just get hurt when they try.

You should be careful too. She won't like you writing privately to me.

Re: Private Message to Jones

[alt_harry]

I don't care what she

Okay.

I'll try to be more careful.

Night, Megan.
