I know that we all have bigger fish to fry. And I know that Quidditch should be the least of my problems. Yet how is it that I'm gutted, absolutely gutted, that Gryffindor won't retain the Quidditch Cup this year?

Oh well, better go ahead and be gracious at any rate. As much as I can be anyway.Congratulations to Ravenclaw on your Quidditch win. So

Oh Godric. This had to happen. I couldn't keep avoiding you forever. You're my friend. My friend. We're friendly. Right? Of course right. I like someone else. Maybe more than one someone else. But you're you, and I'm me and... you matter. And you left me. In every sense of the word. You just took off and left me here with a Quidditch team, no Seeker and a HUGE sack full of emotional turmoil. And I'm not mad, but I don't know what to say to you. And I'm horrible Captain, and you were a wonderful Captain. And how can anyone be expected to fill YOUR shoes, Harry? You're Harry Potter, for Merlin's sake! And I want you in my life. In some capacity. Don't ask me how. Shite.

I'm alright. You?

I was, um, sort of hoping for a lengthier response there. Never thought I'd actually want a girl to talk more, but there you have it. And I know I should have bigger worries at the moment, and I do, but are you seeing anyone at the moment?

That's good to hear. Great. Um....so how's the Quidditch season going? No, I can't ask that. Things have been a lot more boring here than what you'd think. I can't tell you much, but it basically involves a lot of sitting around and hoping something will fall into my lap.

I know this must be frustrating for you. Please don't be angry with me.

Gryffindor courage, Ginny. NOW.

I'm sure something will fall into your lap, Harry. Things always seem to with you, don't they? I used to fall into your lap a lot... but that's different. Shut up, Ginny. Um, if you ever need something to to entertain you I'm sure we could come up with, erm, a game or something.

I'm not angry. Just confused.

... Do you think it works the same way with webs? Smooth, Harry, real smooth. Change the topic - quick! What sort of game?

My research states that many antique articles rumoured to be Ravenclaw heirlooms have indeed been in the possession of a wizard by the name of Janus Fettersley, an elderly wizard from a pureblood clan based mostly in Halifax... but it also states that Mr Fettersley died in the early 1950s, so your information may be a little obsolete. I think my next step is going to be to research if he had any family or friends or connections who may have survived him and provide some clues about these Ravenclaw articles.

How are you faring, Harry? Are you keeping safe?

Private to Hermione

[ihaverealissues]

I've been keeping safe. There's really not much else to do here. I almost wish something would happen, just because it means I'd be making progress. I just feel like a spider that's cast out all its webs and I'm waiting for something to get stuck in one, but nothing has!

And I can't shake the feeling that this wasn't what Dumbledore wanted me to do. Well, he did want me to look for horcruxes, I'm sure of that, and McGonagall and the rest of the Order wouldn't be helping me if he hadn't of wanted that, but what if I'm going about it the wrong way?

I'm so happy you're with me, Hermione. Well, you're not with me, but you're helping me. Dumbledore and Sirius aren't around anymore and I hate to even think this but with Ron do you feel like he's not taking this very seriously? Hard to tell over the journals, but he seems to be talking about leaving school and hunting horcruxes with me as if it's some sort of field day, but it's not. Maybe he's just frustrated at being stuck in school and is relieved to have the chance to finally do

I know... I know how frustrating it is, to have tried every avenue, and to feel alone and, well... at a dead end.

I can't pretend to know what Dumbledore's intentions were, but for what it's worth, Harry, I am proud of you, and will be with you every step of the way, and help you in any way I can, no matter what. I am happy that you're keeping in better contact now even though in a strange way it worries me MORE to hear from you and to know that that horcrux is still out there somewhere, and... well, we'll see what we can come up with together, all right?

I know what you mean about Ron, and it's horrible, and it makes me feel so wretched sometimes, because there are times when I wonder if he takes ANYTHING seriously any more. Has he really lost perspective of things so much because for the most part, things have been going quite smoothly this year despite Dumbledore's death? I can't even imagine what it's like to be in your position, but even from mine, it's impossible not to grasp the seriousness of the issue. But also, Harry, if

I hate Quidditch. Almost as much as I hate school...

How's the horcrux hunt going?
