It's funny...I feel like I let you all down, too. Because I wasn't there--although I wasn't at the wedding because I'm not in CCF. And I'm not in CCF because I crashed my broom in the trials. Although it's even more laughable to think I could have made Professor Dolohov break into as much as one bead of sweat, if I'd tried crossing wands with him. Much less Mr Crouch! I probably would have ended up breaking my wand or something.

I dunno--I probably would have been more useful running interference for you all back at the wedding. Although it sounds like Moon and Diggory and Katie Bell did a fine job of that on their own.

But more than that, I'm just kicking myself that I was playing chess with Evelyn last night and didn't look at my journal once. I could have passed the word onto the Order! I could have let Fred or George or Lee know, and they could have sent the message along.

Ron's right, though, too--if they had known, they probably would have come charging in, and lots more people would have been hurt. Or even died.
