What do you think about this rumour about Potter? We would have all heard if it was true, right? It'd be all over the Prophet, right?

This year is such bollocks. I'm out of firewhisky.

I don't know and honestly? It scares me. It's like... there's nothing. And I believe it would be all over the Prophet -- the dread criminal Potter caught at last, or dead or whatever. Everything's just grey now.

I don't remember the last time I actually laughed and sometimes I wonder if I'm going to forget how to smile.

Unless they didn't want us to know for some reason. Part of me wants to believe it's impossible for him to die. He's the Boy Who Lived. It's probably just a rumour.

You're not going to forget. I won't let you.

But why wouldn't they want us to know? You'd think that if he died then they would be throwing it in our faces that we really, truly have lost. It is just a rumour. A false one. If I believe anything else then I'll go mad.

I hope not. I miss Mum.
