Public - Private to Various - July 31, 2000
Was the party as explosive for you last night as it was for me?
-Private to Granger-
Your party was . . . interesting, to say the least. I only hope it was as insane for you as it was for me.
I just thought I should let you know that Harry had a rough night and I'm sort of . . . taking care of him. I guess. So there's that, in case you were ( Read more... )
Not on purpose, no.
No fucking way I'm going to Molly bloody Weasley. For one, I nearly killed her oldest son. For another . . . my newfound open-mind only takes me so far. Living with a Weasley is where it stops.
That's all very sound advice. It's just that I've never done anything like this before. Which you know. Not the least of which because I mentioned it before.
It's just strange. I feel . . . well, this person needs me. That's rather intimidating, isn't it? What if I cock up? I can't really afford to.
At the moment the problems are mostly psychological and I presume to know very little about the workings of anyone's mind beyond what I've picked up on my own. I'll keep in mind what you said about therapists and the like even if I do think they're a all a bunch of idiots.
At the very least, I think I can provide a safe environment.
Oh, that does it. I'm sending you flowers for your birthday just because I can. And, perhaps, a card that sings as well?

Close enough to 'elated' as to make no difference. Did you know I won that ridiculous Quidditch drawing we entered when we stopped at that shop while doing your birthday shopping? I even have someone accompanying me to the set.
Just so. I was one of the more exemplary Heads of House.
Being needed can be both an uplifting and a frightening thing. It can also become a stifling burden. Be cautious. You will not benefit anyone if you allow someone else's needs to completely over-ride your own.
Psychological issues are harder to deal with than the physical - and there the extent of my useful advice ends. I cannot remotely pretend to know anything useful on that topic.
YOU may do as you wish in that regard, as you always have. My anger will only be ignited if you allow anyone else to participate in your need for frivolity.
