Yesterday, I tried to convince Ron and Harry to let me see it. Just see it. One last time.
Because it was so beautiful, at least that's how I remember it.
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.
