[wehaveseven]

Me too, man.

[erniemacmillan]

I'm sorry, sir.

Can you tell your son I said thanks for saving my life? I haven't been able to talk to him.

[wehaveseven]

I'm sorry, too, that you lads have to live through these dark times. Rotten stuff, really.

I saw Ronald yesterday but I don't know if I'll see him again soon. He saved your life, hey? Good boy, old Ronald. Wasn't worried about how he'd do at all, not at all. So you're all spick and span then?

[erniemacmillan]

Yeah, he was wicked. I appreciate it.

Not really, I guess.

[wehaveseven]

I understand, son, I do. I hope your lot throw you a nice party with some streamers, tomorrow. Most parties are good parties, big or small, as long as Ron doesn't sing.

If you see my daughter around, could you please tell her we're looking forward to having her home on the hols? I couldn't find her yesterday.

[erniemacmillan]

I don't think anyone wants to have a party, man. Presents could be good.

Yeah, sure. You're not coming back to the castle then?

[wehaveseven]

It could be a very quiet party. But then you have to ask where the line is between a party and a gathering, really. And presents are always good, especially if they're well-wrapped and take a good while to open.

I'm not really sure on this. I think I will be, but maybe not for visiting. Ministry, and so forth, but nothing to worry about, you understand?

[erniemacmillan]

It doesn't sound like nothing to worry about.

[wehaveseven]

Nothing for you lot, I haven't slept for a while now but that's all right because I've done that loads of times before, you lot should all just rest up, feel better, look forward to hols and all that.

[erniemacmillan]

But he killed Pansy Parkinson.

[wehaveseven]

It's hard to grieve and do this and do that at the same time. I've heard what he did. I look forward to seeing the man locked away for what he's done and old fool or not I am determined to assist this through to the end.

Shouldn't you be resting, lad?

[erniemacmillan]

I just mean it is something for us to worry about.

[wehaveseven]

Oh. Yes. Well there's nothing can be done about that, not now. Only an idiot would return to the same spot he's done something dreadful like that so I think you lot are all right, really, I mean I can't say for sure but Hogwarts should be safe. You have good people looking after you.

[erniemacmillan]

I'm not really convinced, man.

[wehaveseven]

I had a feeling you wouldn't be. I'm afraid I'm not very convincing at a time like this. You should go speak to Professor McGonagall because she's frightfully convincing, you know.

[knight_to_h3]

I'm here! Don't worry about it, you feeling better mate?
