If I were home in Camden I would've liked to visit my church to ask Reverend Foster why it is that God has decided to punish the Ravenclaw house this year. I would ask him what is it that we did to deserve our suffering.
I suppose he might point me to the Book of Job as a reference, which would be rather pointless because I've read it before. Several times, in fact. If he gave me a direct answer it might be that we have to suffer to remind others of evil, or that we suffer because God is all-powerful and we have to remember that. But Reverend Foster always said it was dangerous to give reasons for suffering. I suppose that means we're supposed to just do it in silence. Suffer, that is.
I haven't seen him in over a year, but I suddenly feel very cross with Reverend Foster.
And I'm tired of sitting in the great hall, waiting for what comes next. That's the worst suffering of all, I think.
