I've been told, now that I'm conscious and can get my voice to work, that I should update this thing. So now I am. Mr. Malfoy and Miss Bulstrode have visited me today, and Pomfrey tells me that more Slytherins have requested to come. Certainly they may, though I do not know why they would wish to.

So. I am alive. One of my students is dead, and one of my friends, and other people whom I have had reason, at one point or another, to care for. And I am alive. I did not know what was going to happen. Moreover, I freely admit that I am still not sure what did happen; like Xiomara, I seem to be suffering intermittent memory loss. Also I cannot walk yet and my left hand is crippled. They say it is permanent nerve damage.

I have never been one for inspiring speeches, and I am certainly not going to start parroting them now. I will only remind all of the students of what my Slytherins should already know: when catastrophe has struck, there is only one thing left that we can do. We survive.

I shall be stopping by to see you before I leave, Severus. Be well.

Thank you for speaking with me a fortnight ago, Professor. As well as for protecting Millicent during the attack, given that I wasn't there and Millicent has made it obvious that she cannot be safe without me.

You are welcome on both counts, Mr. Malfoy. If you are in need in the future, you have only to ask.

Thank you, sir. Perhaps I shall write to you when I return to the Manor.

I don't imagine that anyone's going to set me on fire now, sir, but I suppose I should be likely to stuff it out.

Professor, are you receiving visitors? If so, may I come by?


potions_master @ 2004-06-30 06:09 pm UTC

Yes.

Good to see you, Severus. There was some cause for worry.


potions_master @ 2004-06-30 06:10 pm UTC

More than some, perhaps. You are well?
