I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_hydra]

How is everyone feeling? We're supposed to be happy, I suppose.

I'm happy about some things, but not about others. I'm happy that the bomb in the school didn't explode. And that members of my family weren't killed. Yet I'm a rather sick at the thought of how many people who weren't involved were killed. And then there's those strange things they've said about what was done to the airport. It can't have been good.

When I was little and first heard the word "airport," I thought it was a place for ships that carried air in their cargo.

I keep thinking about odd memories like that and getting distracted. In Potions yesterday, I nearly exploded our dizziness draught by stirring in billywig eyes instead of black beetle eyes. If Remy hadn't shouted at me just as I was about to add them, we would have probably both slept in hospital wing last night. And this morning, I tried to re-read my Arithmancy notes and could barely follow them, which I suppose means I wasn't concentrating during lessons. At least I'm not the only one. I've seen a lot of people who look as if they're having trouble concentrating.

And did anyone see that Mummy said some rather unkind things to Madam Umbridge on the journals? It made me a little pleased, just for a second, but then I remembered that she doesn't really deserve that - even if she does hate kittens. And you know, if Mr Yaxley is injured that probably means that Mummy is in charge of MLE, which I'm sure she doesn't like one bit. She doesn't like having to manage people and mind little details, so it's probably driving her mental. That pleases me a little, too.

That's all. I just felt like talking to all of you.

So what's your point?

My point is there damn well is more to the story than they tell us. The people I'm with know more of it. And I'm not allowed to explain everything I know, even if it's killing me to keep my mouth shut, and if I said everything I know about Luc some people there would probably be some people on this lock who would call me a liar. Because they don't want to believe that people they care about can do something so bleeding inhuman.

And I'm angry. There's no excuse for what the Irish did, I'm not defending them.

But for Merlin's sake, get your heads out of the sand.

We get it, Terry.

YOU KNOW MORE THAN WE DO.

I'm really not sure what you expect us to do with this information we don't have.

Hello! Have you even read what we've all been saying here?

Any of it?

Do you think it's more whatever when you say it than when the rest of us do? Because. Everything you just said is what we've been talking about. How the news is lies, yeah? And how what they're doing over in Ireland is horrible.
