I need to work on Apparating more quietly. Mum heard me coming in after returning from Darlington and was fully prepared to lecture me about how I could've been raped and killed en route (how unfortunate poor Muggles are! as if anything worse than splinching would've happened) and she would've worried, but I'm too tired for that now. I'm probably a little too tired to be writing this, but I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep until I do.
I'm a bit quite worried about Edward right now, as this whole book release seems to be taking a toll on him and I don't really understand any of it. Well, I don't remember my father's book release too well as I was eleven at the time and I didn't read his book until this summer, so I don't think I can really relate. And while Dad seems alright, I don't think that Ed's dad is alright at all. He was terribly drunk tonight, worse than Ed was. I've always known that Ed's dad drinks a lot, but I always thought it was - I don't know. A lot of people drink a lot. But getting wasted with your son on the night of your big book release just doesn't seem normal and I hope he's alright. For Ed's sake. He was so drunk he thought I was my mother, how embarrassing. I couldn't tell if he was trying to kiss me or just stumbling - I think I'll go with just stumbling, because I don't want to think about him and Mum at all and he was drunk.
Ed had finally gone to bed when I left - thank Merlin. I know I probably shouldn't have involved with myself, but after reading Mr Finch-Fletchley's (is that what I'm supposed to call him? he has some sort of title but I don't remember what it is and I don't know if Mr Finch-Fletchley is appropriate for these Muggle pureblood types like Ed and his family are) book, I felt so terrible about Ed having to help his dad throw up into the loo. I'm so glad that Dad came out of the war alright. Better, even, than before. I can't imagine what it would be like - and would Mum just be gone like Ed's mum was? Would I have to take care of him? This is terrible to think about and I should stop.
I need to finish the book but I don't know if I can. It's one thing to hear vaguely about what happened in Azkaban and another to read about it in detail from someone who was actually there. And Ed's dad was there. Ed's dad. I mean, Ed seems like such a normal - that's not true. He's not a normal person at all, but he's not exactly a person who seems traumatised at first. I don't know if he is.
This night sucked. I don't know why I volunteered myself for it, but Ed is a friend and I felt as though I had to help out, especially with Nicholas being such an arse. I'm starting to get a headache, so I'm going to go to bed. I hope Hookum doesn't actually read these things.
