Does anyone else think it's too quiet

It is really quiet. Not many sixth years stayed on to help. Are you the only one in your dorm too?

[seventhdaughter]

Luna's here too. But you and I are the only Gryffindors, I guess.

[shutterbugaboo]

I thought Gina Scheffley was staying too... guess not. Explains why I haven't seen her for a few days. Some fifth years wanted to stay as well, but I heard Dumbledore said they were too young.

Dennis is at home protecting my dad. Your dad doesn't need protecting, I reckon.

[seventhdaughter]

I haven't seen her, but she might just not be staying in here. I don't think I could, if Luna weren't here too. It's too lonely.

Good for Dennis. My dad needs lots of protection, really, it just sort of comes with the job.

[shutterbugaboo]

Yeah. Lonely.

[seventhdaughter]

Yeah.

...you okay?

[shutterbugaboo]

Sure. There's lots to do around here in the day... anyway it's not like I didn't know or whatever.

[seventhdaughter]

But you didn

Yeah, I guess so.

It'll be okay.

[shutterbugaboo]

Yeah, as long as it isn't... okay I mean. Everything's flipped over right now. Every night I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow, but not the good kind of wondering.

[seventhdaughter]

I know what you mean. It's like the evil opposite of Christmas eve. Only every night for weeks.

[shutterbugaboo]

Yeah.

Hey Ginny?

[seventhdaughter]

Yeah?

[shutterbugaboo]

I don't like it in here like this. Everyone in Harry's year stayed on for the summer, so I don't want to ask them if I can move in there... into Dean's old bed. I don't want to sleep there, but... well... maybe you and Luna could sleep here for a while? It's not smelly or anything, since Evan's gone home... and I can't come up there, but you two could stay up here. Maybe just for a few days, the two of you?

I'm not trying to be - I mean I don't think of you guys like that. I don't want to think about anybody like that ever again. I just want to hear some people sleeping... when I'm sleeping too.

[seventhdaughter]

Don't worry, I know what you mean. We've all got to stick together, really.

Luna's lovely asleep, and I don't want to wake her just now, but I'm sure she won't mind...we'll move in tomorrow, all right?

[shutterbugaboo]

Thanks.

I don't snore.

[seventhdaughter]

Well, good then.

Good night, Colin.
