Twenty Aurors dead. Twenty. And one of them Eloise's brother.
This is almost too much to deal with. I can't stand being here, so far away from all of my friends, when they're obviously in trouble. On the other hand, I (somewhat selfishly) want for my family and I to be safe. I just feel completely helpless.
At least I had a chance to meet Lavender and shop. It seems like forever since I've talked to her, at least, and I missed hugging her, and telling her about everything I've been doing, and gossiping (even though I promised myself that I wouldn't do that, but it's so easy to forget promises around Lav).
And Oliver -- as much as Padi hates to hear me repeat it -- is too charming for his own good. One day, someone's going to snatch him up, and I do hope it's me despite the fact that Quidditch is his main love. He'll make someone very happy, though. Katie, maybe. I did a reading this morning, and things appear to be looking up for her.
... I wonder if I've ever made any sense to anyone besides Lav.
