I never thought I'd be so glad to go home.
Usually, I'm sad to be leaving Hogwarts, you know? I always miss the people and the excitement, but I don't really this time. Maybe it's because of what happened in Ravenclaw, or maybe it's because everyone has been so gloomy the whole week - even my firsties! Maybe it's because it's because it's harder to go to sleep now. I see things when I close my eyes, like the leg sticking out from under the all of the rubble. I couldn't make myself clear away the mess because I didn't want to see the body underneath. So I just walked away and started working somewhere else. Gryffindors are supposed to be brave, but I didn't feel brave at all, you know? I was so scared of seeing it. I know someone eventually cleared it away because I saw the body later with a sheet over it later. It was the pink socks, you see? Only it wasn't very pink anymore...just dirty. It's so selfish to say this, but as bad as it was, at least it wasn't Padma. It's all I could think after I went up to the tower to help.
Lav, we need to do some shopping over the holiday!
