The Way Things Will Be

I've thought about dying many times.

Nymphadora has even suggested that I'm suicidal. Not to my face, of course, the girl has some tact. But she's told Molly and Arthur, Albus, most of the Order. I can't help having exceptional hearing.

She's wrong, even if everyone else seems to think the opposite. Even if everyone else seems to be reluctant to leave me alone with sharp objects.

Why would I want to die? I grieve for my friends, my lover, but I don't want to join them. Yet.

One day I will be dead. I can wait.
