Ginny Weasley

I don't want to be here! I know what Harry is doing is vital, but I don't see that leaving me behind to fret about the three of them is helping. I mean, love is what is going to defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and I'm sure that I love Harry as much as Ron and Hermione do.

Hardly anyone has come back to Hogwarts this year. Like they'd be any safer at home against Death-Eaters! Mum wanted me to stay at home with them at the Burrow, but Dad came to my rescue when he said that with them working for the Order, they wouldn't be able to look after me all the time – not that I need to be looked after! – and at least the wards at Hogwarts are the strongest they can be.

Seamus is watching me again. He doesn't have anyone to talk to, with Neville in the Library all the time and no-one else from his year coming back. But he won't talk to me cos of Dean and what happened last year. He looks worried all the time, and not just about school and NEWTS either.

I wonder what Harry is doing right now? I wish I was with him…

But I made a promise, and I'll stick with it, even though I'm terrified for him.
