To those who wait.
Well, as everybody no doubt knows by now, Harry and Colin have both woken up. They aren't technically allowed visitors outside of immediate family, but Harry's been asking for people all night and poor Colin's father can't even see Hogwarts, let alone come visit of course, so they're making a bit of an exception. However, please don't try to visit Harry unless someone specifically comes and gets you. Of course we all want Harry to get better, but we shouldn't really be bothering him unless he's asked.
I haven't been to see Colin yet. He hasn't asked for me, and when I went to the hospital wing last night, Ginny was with him. I think that time alone is really something they both need, so I really don't wish to interrupt it. I'd hoped I could think of a poignant -- well, I don't know, something to say -- but I expect what Ginny and Colin need right now is each other. If either of you read this, though, I just wanted to tell you that Soblessa was lovely, and do you know, even I had to respect her Divination abilities (as you know, I've not been much of one for Divination).
Harry asked for Ron and me a few hours after he woke up last night, so when Professor Black got us, of course we went down and sat with him for a bit, first Ron and then me. He looks -- well, I suppose he looks awful. I do feel so horrid saying something like that, but he looked so hurt. I can't stand to see him that way, but of course I've read all about the sorts of injuries Harry's had and I expect he'll be better quite soon. He's not terribly coherent yet, of course, and mostly he kept mentioning fish and . . . well, none of it made much sense, especially as he kept drifting off. Ron and I weren't even around when they found Harry, as we'd been sitting with Ginny. I don't think either one of us has ever been as worried as when they found that first Hufflepuff. I suppose that's selfish, and of course it's not entirely what I mean, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I was just hoping, Please, not Harry too. I know Ron thought the same thing; I've never seen him so upset. He's been staying with Ginny mostly, and I don't exactly feel right intruding upon them. I did tidy Ginny's dormitory for her a bit, but I think the best thing all of us can do is allow everyone to grieve in privacy.
Mr and Mrs Weasley and Percy and Fred and George and Charlie and Penelope came last night when all the parents were allowed, and I think they're going to try to take Ron and Ginny home. Poor George and Fred have been trying to find a way into Hogwarts for nearly a week, and while I do see that they'd be endangering themselves, I understand why. It's lucky they didn't get hurt while doing it! Mr Weasley is so serious right now, and Mrs Weasley is of course a mess. I don't think it had quite sunk in that Ron and Ginny were fine until she saw them herself, which is quite how I feel often as well.
I must say, I am relieved that this is all finally starting to show chances of looking up. I just wish exams hadn't been cancelled!

Well, Ron, they were scheduled to start on Monday. What did you expect; we'd start taking them two days before we were to leave? Honestly.
