Oh, don't mind me - still a bit shocky from everything, I think, and these journals really don't give a sense of tone of voice, do they?

I'm ... glad to hear you say all of that.

I get caught up, sometimes, in wanting to be loyal (of course), and yet not knowing what loyalty actually looks like to other people. Or can look like, legitimately, because of course there are all different ways to show it.

Curse of my house, I guess. In some ways, I think it must be easier to be a Gryffindor, and just charge headlong into danger and worry less about the consequences.

I'll look forward to you tomorrow - and I've got a few nice things you may not have tried yet in the drinks cabinet, even.
