Dear Elle,
I don't deserve you. I deserve -
It's not about the potion. You and the Professor have both explained about that, but then I didn't get his owl until after I'd written you and I didn't get your owl until after -
I've done something wrong. I think it was wrong. Ron looked a bit ill, after, and George said he didn't know I had it in me, and Fred didn't say anything but he clapped me on the back, and Sirius was off somewhere doing something even worse probably -
It was Fred and George, they told me what they'd tried that hadn't worked, and they said why use magic then if their magic couldn't get the job done, and we didn't have any potions, you know, we should have brought some with us but we forgot and they can't brew here, and so I was just hitting him and hitting him but it wasn't my fault, it was their fault - no I know that's not quite true, but
We had his wand, and he's been petrified since we caught him, and he wouldn't tell us anything, you see, and Ron said why didn't I try as the twins weren't getting anything but foul language in Russian, and we all had been looking at the Dark Mark on his arm, and I kept wondering was he already a death eater when they invaded the museum, was it him who put you under imperius, and he kept talking about you, and I told him to shut up, I told him not to say your name to me, the bastard, but he wouldn't shut up and he said your name and I -
His blood is all down my shirt and I can't figure out how to get it off and I thought maybe you would know and then I remembered I can't ever show you this shirt and
I'm so
I knew it was wrong but I did it
