Professor Minerva McGonagall. It's been my title for years. Head of the Gryffindors. I knew it would change someday. Albus told me I was next in line. But…not now. His office looks like it always has. Fawkes is missing, though. Haven't seen him since the funeral. I haven't cried so much since Merlin knows when. How am I going to manage a Hogwarts full of scarred witches and wizards? I can't even control my own emotions. I can't do this. I cannot do this.Voldemort is on the loose. Snape...a traitor. And Malfoy. Malfoy. I told Albus. I told him. That boy cannot be trusted. Oh god, Minerva, not again. It's over. He's gone. No one knows your secret now. It has died with him…just as he promised. Just as I feared.
