The room was so cold and empty last night with all my roommates gone, that I just couldn't stand it, and so I got my pillow and a blanket and left. I went to the common room, and there were just a few people there late, but although the room felt too empty, that felt too crowded, even though everyone was being really quiet. I left again. I won't apologize, Professor McGonagall, for being out after hours, you can give me detention if you want--I don't care--but I went down to the greenhouse and spent the night there.
I started trimming one of my bonsai, but I started remembering things again, and once I started I just couldn't stop. I cut every single needle and branch off that tree. It had been a really nice little tree, too, one of my best. I've been training it for five years. I ended up throwing it away. Fortunately, I retained enough sense not to start on another. I emptied the pot and planted another brand new seedling in it, and then I just wrapped the blanket around myself and watched the stars through the glass for the rest of the night.
