Celebration's over

[alt_draco]

It's hard to believe that something so good can end in a way that's so bad.

Up until the explosion, yesterday was one of the snitchest days I've ever had. I was with my family and friends, we were watching the Quidditch World Cup, which I didn't think I'd ever get to see here in England, and to top it all off, everyone else was invited, too. Who would want to ruin that? My Father was hurt. He should be alright, but he was lucky. Not everyone was.

Aunt Bellatrix was one of the ones leading the demonstration. I sort of wish I could have joined her and all the rest of them, but I'm not of age, so I couldn't.

I'm glad you're okay, Draco, and that your father is going to be alright.

Thanks, me too.

Private message to Draco Malfoy

Last night after I got back to Pansy's and couldn't sleep, I kept thinking, what if one of my friends had been really, really hurt? Because doing the mediwizardry on strangers was scary in some ways but in the back of my head I guess it wasn't too hard to focus on their injuries and who needed care the most. Because the people themselves didn't matter to me. Much. Does that sound terrible?

I don't know if I could have done that with a friend, and I'm afraid I would have frozen up and forgotten everything.

I think you would be able to help a friend who was really, really hurt. If you had to, you would.

It would probably be easier if you were grumpy and mean in general daily life, though, like the Matron is.

It was awful seeing him hurt like that.

I'm glad that he will be okay.

[alt_draco]

Yet again.

It was a brilliant day right up until it all exploded. We're lucky to be alive, I guess.

Mother said you helped her get clear of the things that fell on her. She was really grateful, so thanks for that.

Did they keep your father at St Mungo's or is he home now? I hope it's a quick recovery.

Listen, I'm going to Savile's tomorrow to see about a replacement for the robe that got ruined last night. I was thinking you might want to go along and have lunch somewhere after. Justin, too, if he's not gone back yet. When does he leave?

[alt_draco]

Oh, I did do that. I'd forgotten.

They say he should be alright, but he's still at hospital, so who really knows what that even means. There was so much blood.

I don't know about tomorrow....it depends on how Mother is. I'll let you know.

[alt_blaise]

Understood. Come along if you can. If you don't turn up, I'll know you couldn't get away.

How is he, Draco? Any change?

[alt_draco]

He's resting. I'm sure that he'll be back to his usual self in no time.
