See 1st chapter for disclaimer - they're still not mine sob!

Dear Doyle,

You'd be amazed at the amount of stuff in 'the home' that you can kill yourself with really. Knives, bleach, all sorts of other cleaning fluids, glass objects etc. and they're just the muggle items - depressing really. All those things are kind of hard to escape from when your in the mood - you end up staring at them. It's normally the first sign for me that things have built up too much again, that I need to pick myself up again.If I don't I tend to get to the 'list stage' and, well, I don't like being there. Listing the things I live for, 'cause it's a scarilly short list: Ron, Hermione, the Weasleys, the D.A., and well I suppose the prophesy should be there too. Not long is it?

I mean, at times I think it would be a relief to live in a nice padded room (though I would prefer them to be coloured - I don't like white!) it would remove all temptation after all. You know at times it's almost like a visual tug of war? Take washing up for an easy example. You're there washing up one of the kitchen knives and you end up staring at it, running the blade against your thumb without even noticing - then your brain catches up and you end up trying to look away and yet it keeps drawing your eyes to it... Annoying really. Hell at times I find myself doing it and didn't even realise that i had been feeling that deepressed! Huh! Imagine the Orders faces!

Anyway, sorry that this has dropped into the depressing again - on a lighter note, I've finnished Snape's work (the ONLY teacher to set some after the OWLs) and have started to compile a list of things that Snape would never do.What can I say it keeps my mind off stuff. Here's the start of it -

1) Be nice

2) Wash his hair

3) Not give homework after A lesson

4) Congratulate the class for something well done

5) Be kind to Neville

6) Just be kind to Gryffindors in general

7) Be polite

8) Give a Slytherin a detention

9) Be nasty to a Slytherin

10) Dress in any colour but black - namely pink

11) Dress in womens cloths

12) Hell dress nicely

13) Look good

14) Look sexy

15) Tell Malfoy to go do something personal with a pinapple.

As you can see Doyle, they'll never EVER happen! On this light note I'll see you later,

Bye Doyle,

Harry
