I really can't sleep. I'm worried about my friends. Are they going to become the next-best thing if the Death Eaters can't kill me? What if they find out how important Luna was in Voldemort's downfall? How do I know if there's enough protection around them?
Dumbledore's dead, and I've been going downhill as a wizard ever since Voldemort died. What if the protective wards at Hogwarts and Grimmauld Place can't stop the rest of the Death Eaters? They'll die. And if they die, I die. I'm already half-dead in this boring flat even if I do get visits from Lupin and a Chocolate frog every once in a while...
I guess, the only thing I can do to help them is to start practicing spells again, starting from the basics. I mean, maybe I wasn't completely dependant on Voldemort for my magical ability, and maybe I have enough talent from my parents to fight them again...
The reason I'm worried is I got an owl about them today -- hand-delivered from good old Professor Lupin. He's looks so old now that he looks like -- well, I guess you could say he looks like the picture of Nicholas Flamel on his last Chocolate frog card.
Anyway, the owl was from McGonagall, and it told me about an attack on the Hogwarts Express (not the kind of news you often get on Sky Network). No one was killed, but plenty of students were injured by practically every jinx, curse, and unforgivable discovered. (It's a good thing most remaining Death Eaters have horrible aim these days, or someone would have been killed.) Hermione, Luna, Ron, and the rest of the DA were able to hit some of the Death Eaters and delay them until the Aurors arrived (nevermind why they weren't there in the first place).
Maybe they'll be more protected from now on, but I'm not going to take any chances. I start spell practice again tomorrow.
