Private thoughts
I wonder what Luna’s been doing while I’ve been gone? I’ve thought of writing to her a couple of dozen times, but when I pick up the pen to try I realise that I don’t know what to say. Putting what I’ve been doing into words is just beyond me, and it’s not anything I want her involved with anyway. She feels so far away right now, and as much as I miss her, perhaps its best if she remains there.
I think I’m going to suspend the hunt for a few days. Full moon is Friday and I need to prepare. I don’t imagine there would be Wolfsbane for me if I return to Hogwarts. Last I knew, Severus was still having problems and I seriously doubt that making or procuring Wolfsbane potion is at the top of his list at any time, but definitely not now. And it shouldn’t be. He needs to take care of himself. Fortunately he’s not my only option.
I sent an owl to Anna Burgess asking if she might have enough for me this month, and she wrote back saying that there was always enough for me if I needed it. She’s a kind woman, and it was a relief to get a positive reply. She invited me to come and spend the next few days at the farm, and I think I will. I need to refocus. Hopefully the remaining wolves won’t cause too much havoc if I don’t continue the hunt until after the next full moon.
I think I may go up north again when the moon is up, to where I went once before. It was quiet and desolate, and I could let the wolf roam during its few hours of freedom. It’s exhilarating to run free through the wilderness without the burden of fear that you’ll harm someone. I remember being much more rested and at peace the next day, too…a welcome change from the usual day after.
Maybe I’ll take Dolph with me. I doubt if he’s ever experienced a full moon where he wasn’t confined, and he should. There’s a small grain of good even in the most horrible of situations and sometimes you should take the time to seek it out for your own peace of mind. It can make going on so much easier.
