Su? Next time we think we're all going to die and I'm piss drunk and all that, try to refrain from asking me embarrassing personal questions, oui? Just in case we end up saved and I look back to see what I wrote.
Otherwise...eugh, what a week. Haven't even looked at my journal since the battle, really, though I expect it's the same for a lot of us. Been busy being smothered by family, the celebrations in Ottery and elsewhere, owling Stebbins for a little more celebrating and comforting in a strange way. He was a bastard and I'm glad he's gone, really, but still...I don't think I'm ever going to be the same after having done that. Oh, and studying, too. Can't believe we're heading back to school tomorrow. I guess I do get to sit my exams after all. I've never been so thrilled by this prospect before. I swear, when I heard the news I actually did go dancing a bit throughout the house causing Claude to remark on, "Oui, that's why she ended up in Ravenclaw."
And Michael went from having possibly the worst fifth birthday of all time to now having that be a national holiday. I can't believe this is all really over. Well, I mean, things will take time to settle, but still.

Euh...right. You're probably getting a lot of people now congratulating you and telling you how they always thought you could do this, when they doubted you the whole time, and I could lie and pretend to be one of them, but what good would it do? I lie when it serves me, and there's no point here. No, I didn't think you could do it, and I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say I did.
But I wanted to thank you for doing it anyway. Despite people like me who doubted you. You saved a lot of lives that night, and I'll always appreciate it.
So...merci infiniment.

Perks,
Hey.
Haven't seen you since they took you away at the battle. And some reporter decided that apparently then was a good time to ask me about everything, mistake on his part. Anyway, I hope everything is going okay for you and that the Ministry realises you were on our side in the end...I wrote them to tell them that, though how well they'll listen to me is negotiable.
Euh, right. I just wanted to see how you were doing.
