Private.
This morning as I was working, words formed in the condensation on the glass.
'Blood traitor.'
I am being threatened by the ghost of Bellatrix LeStrange.
There has been more glassware broken. And she is laughing, I know it. I cannot hear anything, but there is an atmosphere. It is malicious and is not very good for concentration.
She is not happy that I am still alive, and is making that very clear.
What can I do?
I do not want to avoid the laboratory. I won't allow her to win like that. Severus needs me because he cannot use his hands at the moment. If I remain there, the equipment around me continues to be damaged. Reparo is useless because it contaminates potions with magic.
I have tried talking to her. It feels very stupid, talking to thin air.
At least she cannot sabotage the potion at Godric's Hollow. That seems to be going well.
Locked to Severus Snape.
I cannot remain in the laboratory today, I sorry. If I do, LeStrange is going to break everything again. I cannot afford to replace any more glassware, and I dare not steal too much at a time. It is a risk every time I go to London.
Also, should I treat this as a real threat? How powerful do you think she is? Perhaps she is not physically capable of harm yet, but there are many dangerous substances in the laboratory. It could be very unpleasant if I fall on broken glass. Some of the poisons I have been working with are volatile. Could she cause protections to fail?
She is making me lose confidence. It is not good to be nervous around potions. Is there something else for me to do?
