alt_lunaAre you all right?
It's just that you had that diadem for years. Even though you've told me you knew in the end it was bad for you and you were glad to be rid of it, I suppose it must be rather a wrench to know that it's gone for good now.
It's all right to tell me I'm daft (people frequently do). But I just wanted you to know that if you miss it and want to talk about it without being judged for it, I'm entirely willing to listen. I'll even bring tea, if you like.

They wouldn't, and told me to go find you. I never found you, though, and wound up walking round the grounds instead.
It's probably just as well they didn't let me see.
I wish it hadn't been necessary to destroy it. I mean, it was Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, it was a piece of the history of the Founders before it ever held a piece of the Lord Protector's soul, it's a shame there wasn't some way to pull it out and get rid of it instead of having to destroy the diadem.
But, I'm glad Umbridge took it when she did. I'd been planning to ask Dolohov for help with it, and I have no idea what he'd have done with it. Or if it had convinced me not to show it to him and just put it back in the Room of Lost Things -- I'd have gone back to get it again, sooner or later.

Date: 2015-05-01 06:11 pm (UTC)As a Ravenclaw, I'm sorry, too, but mostly for the historical loss. I tell myself that it wasn't our friends who really destroyed it, but the Lord Protector. If it had fallen into my hands instead of yours, I might have ended up sorry for other reasons. I don't know if I would have been as strong as you. You held on to it for years!
Do you think you could draw a picture of it? I would like to see what it looked like, at least.

Date: 2015-05-02 02:12 am (UTC)It always felt a little like the stone was looking at me. I suppose that might have been the piece of soul. It didn't feel evil, though, when I had it, it felt like it sympathised with me, with whatever I was going through. Like it was looking at me because it was on my side.
