I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good: Private Message to Sally-Anne Perks

[alt_luna]

I saw what happened. The kiss, right before we all stepped into the floo at the wedding reception. I think it's quite a good idea, and I've been rather waiting for it to happen for a while.

I hope Ron thought it was a good idea, too. Although he may have been taken a bit more by surprise? Boys sometimes can be a little dense about figuring out that a girl likes them.

Are you feeling better today? Madam Pomfrey is very good, isn't she, so I hope there won't be any scars?

I think we should all carry dittany in our bracelets. And it was very clever of Hermione to slap on some of that leftover spider web that Professor Dolohov used to immobilize her on the cuts. It's very good stuff to stop bleeding.

I feel like maybe I got stepped on by a very large dragon. Or by several very large dragons.

I'm alive, though, which is better than I was sort of expecting at certain points yesterday.

I'm in the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey let Ron stay here with me.

That's very nice that she allowed Ron to stay with you. I hope it gave you a chance to talk.

I am so glad we all got away safely.

I don't know how I'm going to face Professor Dolohov.

He looked me right in the face but he didn't know who I was behind the mask and it was like -- I don't even know. He was

He's always been kind to me. I guess I did know, in my head, that he could be different. But I'd never seen it. Until last night.

I have been thinking and thinking about it. He let us go, didn't he? I suppose...he let us go because he didn't want to face us. To confront us, I mean. If he figured out who we were, or at least who some of us were, and he's so clever that I imagine that he might have. But I can't imagine his reasoning why.

They warned us about him--the Order, I mean. But I agree, he's so nice, it was hard to see.

I suppose that, being as young as we are, it's not always easy for us to see that being nice is not exactly the same as being good.

Although that's not exactly right, either. I remember Mr Black saying during our training week that the world isn't split into good people and bad.

It's all most confusing.

Well. I suppose we would have arrested by now if Professor Dolohov did figure it out and wants to make an issue of it--but he let us go, so I don't think he will.

But he might do something else. And trying imagining what that something else could be makes me nervous. I've been wracking my brains, and I can't think what he will do.

Perhaps I don't have an imagination that's vivid enough.

Although that might be a blessing. Ugh.
