A Completely Unofficial, Biased Set of Announcements
wherein I speak for myself, and only myself, and not Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Ministry of Magic for the British Isles, or St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Just Seamus Finnigan.
So, Mum, Da, I'm sorry if you were worrying but you should have known I'm not much of a fighter.
I can't believe he's gone.
As you can see from the post, we've finally given up on Sirius or Harry coming back to the infirmary. They'll be fine, whatever. We'll hunt them down in the morning and check up on them. Gentlemen, you are free for the evening.
Wasn't Lisa brilliant?
I don't know what sort of rumours are going around as I've only just now got back to the common room after a lot of hours on my feet, but really, leave Draco Malfoy be. He wasn't even there, and he shouldn't have to answer to whatever his father was doing. I say this as someone who lost a friend to the man: Lucius was his Da. Have some fucking respect for the lad and his loss. Loss-es, I should say.
Do you know what I was supposed to be doing last night? Drinking whiskey! DRINKING FUCKING WHISKEY WITH MY FRIEND WHO IS GONE AND WILL NEVER SEE MY NEW FLAT AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE HIM OVER FOR DINNER OR ANYTHING.
Right, I'm off to find my boy and get some life. That is, after a very long shower. If I can ever wash off all this blood.

I remember a little more now. Lisa was brilliant.
I'll be along shortly, but Madam Pomfrey was giving out doses of a mild sedative for people who asked for it. I know I'll need it. She said she missed you before you left, so I'll bring a dose for you and Dean, in case you want/need to take it.

No. Thanks, but no. I want to be awake when I'm awake and asleep when I'm asleep, and I have other ideas for how to get there. But leave it on the table in the room, and if my idea doesn't work, I'll take full advantage, thanks.

I looked for you in the Hospital Wing when Ron got his hand put back on but you were gone already, I think, I just wanted to see you.
| seamus_f @ 2004-06-25 04:59 am UTC |
Honey. I want to see you, too. I was worried about you. I should have hauled your arse into the back with the wee ones but I didn't think of it. You sure you're okay?
I'm in the common room now. Getting ready to go back down but I have to answer some email. Whole bizarre "official explanation" to give the Muggle half of the family and all. And eating; Dean scolds when I don't eat.
| divineparvati @ 2004-06-25 05:04 am UTC |
I just hid under some stuff, a table or something and just cried and cried, what kind of Gryffindor am I. I mean, seriously. I didn't even - I was distracted with N.E.W.T.s and stupid school things and I feel so sick. Anyway, enough of that.
Ron's got his hand back. We've just been milling around all over the place, I was down with Lavender for a bit and then Padma and I went for a walk, a restricted walk. I think she's put her hand up to help pack Lisa's things up. I didn't sleep much. Do you know where breakfast is? Seeing as we can't go into the Hall and all. I'm in the library, myself, there's a trillion people trying to use the computers, I'm all hunched over mine protectively.
| seamus_f @ 2004-06-25 05:12 am UTC |
Honey, you can't always. This is the end of something that came to someone else a long time ago. And there are many ways to be brave, you know.
There is food in the common rooms actually. And freer computers, though the room is rather silent and sad. I didn't sleep much either, I just sort of clung and dozed, but I feel better now, especially for the shower.
| divineparvati @ 2004-06-25 05:19 am UTC |
You are brave, Seamus. You are amazingly brave and wonderful, and you really should sleep one day soon, you know. I'll owl your Mum if you don't, and then you'll be in trouble.
Oh clung, you guys. Is Dean up there too? Is the food any good or is it old and cold? We should put some music on. I still have a Broomhandle Confessional album I stole from Lisa months ago. I should probably give it back.
| seamus_f @ 2004-06-25 05:25 am UTC |
I think you should keep it. I think you should bring it up here and play it. I think we should remember and remember and remember things except the things we can't forget.
The food is fine. Dean just came down now. I will sleep when the work is done, but truly, I'm well enough.
Don't you owl my mum, I've only just calmed her down!
| divineparvati @ 2004-06-25 05:31 am UTC |
It will really just make us cry a lot, Broomhandle is kind of like that at the best of times. Well okay, it will make me cry a lot. I wanted to be her friend once but I think I tried too hard and she didn't like me. Maybe she just knew that I'd stolen her album.
I'll do it, I know where you live. YOU CAN SEE HIS RIBS, MRS FINNIGAN. HIS RIBCAGE. THE BOY IS MALNOURISHED.
| seamus_f @ 2004-06-25 05:41 am UTC |
YOU WILL NOT. And you can't, anyway. I could stand to lose a few, as usual. And I know where you live, as well, so there.
I think crying might be good. It's better than this dull ache. Anything would be better than this dull ache and powerlessness and horribleness.
| divineparvati @ 2004-06-25 06:04 am UTC |
I JUST MIGHT. YOU WATCH.
And I feel like I should be all dried up by now, but no! Somebody says something or I walk past somebody or something and I well, yeah, it's awful. I'm just glad we have our wands back. I don't think anything else is going to happen. I mean, I don't know, I could say this and then more awful things could happen but I think we are okay. As okay as this can be, anyway. To think, we were all freaked about exams.
| seamus_f @ 2004-06-25 06:28 am UTC |
This is like some horrible practical exam.
I have to go back to the wards soon! Come up here now!
| divineparvati @ 2004-06-25 06:43 am UTC |
I don't think we'll really relax that much when this one's over.
On my way, save me a spot on the couch. I'll come help you in the wards later if you want, if I'm even allowed, I don't know if I am. I feel like I've done nothing and everyone else has performed these amazingly noble acts of heroism. Or, you know, just smaller things that still make all the difference.
I think I just got elbowed in the back of the head by a fifth year. See you soon.
