Imagine my surprise to open this journal and discover that Madam Hooch had died. I mean...Hooch. I always thought that when death came for the old bat, she'd kick him in the knees and run.
Actually, I'd hoped it. Maybe just because it's what I hope I'll do. 'Do not go gentle' and all. And I thought that if anyone could manage it, it would be her. Tough old bird and all.
But they actually beat her.
Amazing.
Does anyone actually wonder why I'm not coming back anymore?
It's odd. I keep thinking...I don't really have the right. And it's really not right. But I still find myself here.
But it's not right. Not anymore.
But it's all I can do, right?
I think I know what I need to do, now. And I know what I want to do. I just know that the problem is going to be to find the strength to do either one, to keep moving along.
My God, I hate sounding like this, too.
...
They really took her down. Amazing.
