Madam Pomfrey says she's quite sure now that my Daddy will live.

if you had looked for him, only looked for him, he wouldn't have suffered so much

Thank you for spelling me sitting with him. I think he's so much calmer when you're nearby. Perhaps a tiny part of him remembers you. At least a little.

Oh, I wish he remembered me.

I'm sorry I cried so much last night. If your shoulders were sponges, they would have soaked up a gallon of tears.

I keep looking at the sketch portrait you did of me, and it's

I don't know

It's so beautiful. I'm not used to thinking of myself as beautiful. And it's comforting

Is that really how you see me? truly?

It's not quite so bad this month. I still feel fretful, and I've cried oceans today, but I suppose finding Daddy might be the reason for that. I'm not as irritable as last month, either.

And I'm not so frightened.

Mr Lupin's tea helps. I think Colin has poured pots of it down my throat in the last couple of days.

I'm not craving meat this month. Instead, my appetite has gone completely off; I don't want to eat anything. My skin is starting to have that same sensitivity again, though. I've switched to wearing my oldest and softest clothes, and I'll probably spend all day tomorrow in my pyjamas. Colin told me he noticed that I startle much more easily.

Let's see, what else.

Oh! Colin and I have been sketching almost every day for the past week. I do it when I'm talking to him, or when he's telling me stories, so I'm not thinking while I'm doing it. He pointed out that my sketches have started looking quite different from my usual style over the last day or two. Shorter, thicker lines, more jagged edges, more shadows. I hadn't even noticed it until he pointed it out, but it's true. Anyway, he suggested I might continue sketching up to and just after the full moon, and showing the sketches to you. I asked him why, and he said that it might give you clues about hand-eye coordination, and mood, and...I don't know. He thought it just might be useful.

I think he just wants something to be useful.

So anyway, I'm saving the sketches, and dating them, and putting them aside.

Did you...do you think there might be a potion I can try this time? Or will I just have to use the tea and learn to bear the whole thing?

Are you still willing to be with me during the full moon, Terry?

That's good to hear, Lunes.
