Private Message to Sue

Are you, Wayne, and Stebs coming back for the funeral? I sent an owl to Summers and Eloise as soon as I heard.

It'll be just the six of us, now.

Almost half our year gone.

D'you think

I mean, we'd talked a few times after the Battle, and it was awkward as anything, and I thought

I figured we'd have more time to sort that stuff out.

I guess I had time to sort out what he did and why last term, and come to terms with the fact that even though I hated him at the time, it wasn't for the reasons I thought, and it's not like I ever sat down and talked to him about that part, because, you know, we'd have the time for it later.

And I don't know whether he forgave me. For not

For not doing an awful lot of things. To start.

And I guess now I won't ever really know because he's dead. Gone out in a duel with bloody Bellatrix Lestrange and Dolohov because he's a god damn hero, and it's not like I'll ever get to tell him what I really think of him now that I know what he's done.

Bugger.

I fucking hate funerals.

Do you think he hated me just as much as I hated him?

Suppose he did.

[alt_susan]

He didn't hate you. Was frustrated with you maybe No more than I did.

And yeah, the sett is looking damn thin on the ground these days.

[alt_ernie]

Heard they're looking for any wand they can get.

I'll be there, Sue.

[alt_susan]

Be careful out there. That goes for all 3 of you! I'm in the second wave with Ron's lot so I'll see you on the field.
