Entry 8
December 21st
I don't know what to think anymore. Mum has gone completely batty. I honestly thought she was going to suffocate me several times. I've never seen her so…so…girly. She kept hugging me and asking questions really, really fast. Dad was no help. He just laughed and messed my hair up. I really hate it when he does that.
Dinner tonight was so long. Everyone wanted to know everything about Hogwarts: classes, teachers, friends and enemies. Rose wanted to know if everything in Hogwarts, a History was true. How would I know? I haven't memorized the book like she has! Dad kept asking if anyone was giving me a hard time. In other words, he wants to know if Snape and his Slytherins are causing any trouble. I don't think he believed me when I told him I could handle it.
Mum asked the most questions, though. She wanted to know everything about everyone at school. She asked a lot of questions about Neville, Hermione and Orion…especially Orion. Dad seemed eager too which was strange. Usually Dad's the first one to tell Mum to stop nagging. There wasn't much I could tell them. I know Orion is adopted by his father and learned a lot about magic from his uncle but that's about it. Orion doesn't talk about himself much, at least not to me.
The strange thing was when I asked why they wanted to know so much about Orion, Mum and Dad got really weird looks on their faces and sent us off to bed. I just don't get it. What's so special about Orion Black?
Entry 9
December 25th
Happy Christmas, I guess.
I wish there was something I could do. I overheard Mum talking to Dad about Harry again. The holidays are always the worst for Mum. Rose and I found her in Harry's room crying like we do every Christmas morning. I hate that room. Mum basically turned it into a shrine with everything Harry had ever owned. No one but Mum ever goes in the room anymore, not even Dad.
I know it sounds mean but I wish Mum could move on. It hurt to lose Harry, I know that, but she has two more kids still here. She has Rose and me. Why aren't we enough?
I really feel bad for Rose. She's stuck here with only Mum and Dad now. Before I went to Hogwarts, we did everything together because we only had each other. I know it's harder for her because she doesn't remember Harry at all. She doesn't remember the nights Mum stayed up with Harry because he was sick. She doesn't remember the other times when Harry woke up screaming from nightmares.
That's really all I remember and I spent five years with him. Sad, isn't it?
