Sunday afternoon

[alt_ginny]

It has been a very eventful weekend. On Friday night someone set off a dragon firework downstairs near the entrance, and in all the confusion (and there was quite a lot of confusion) Sarah Fawcett ran out of the castle. I guess she was being disciplined by the Headmistress and thought things were so awful that it would be better to run into the Forbidden Forest.

Which seems very foolish and short-sighted of her. (Unless she had committed treason against Our Lord like Sophie Fleet! In which case it was cowardly to run away instead of facing the consequences for her terrible actions. Does anyone know what she actually did?)

Anyway apparently centaurs carried her off, that's what I heard. I heard someone say MLE came today to search for her so perhaps they will find her and bring her back. I wonder if she will get more punishment, then, or if being carried off by centaurs and lost in the Forbidden Forest is punishment enough for anyone?

Now today Headmistress Umbridge has discovered that it was my brothers Fred and George who set off the dragon firework on Friday night, and she has punished them with cruciatus and by making them each believe that the other is dead. So for those of you who saw their journal posts, don't worry, they're both very much alive and in Gryffindor Tower where people are keeping them company and consoling them. 

Sometime yet today I will need to try to finish my Potions homework.

I'm not going to worry about the potions homework. That's just so hopefully Slughorn will see it and tell me not to worry.

We might want to think about shifts tonight, overnight, because the worst would be if we all try to stay up and then everyone nods off at 4 a.m. and the twins wake up and don't have anyone to talk them down again.

And I remember after Dad died, 4 was when I woke up. Like every night. For days. And lay in bed alone thinking. And it was bad enough just knowing I'd lost Dad, I wasn't lying there thinking 'it was my fault, it was my fault.' You know?

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Or anything I can pass along to other people in Gryffindor.

I'm so sorry, Ginny.
