Upsetting her is one thing; it's quite another matter to witness a total nervous breakdown in progress and know what the cause is.
I mean to say, we already talked about the fact that there was no good way to send them without reopening the wound but, Merlin, I feel a right pillock.
I hate it when women cry. Bugger all.
Re: Order Only: Private Message to Moony and Alice
I'd imagine it was quite unexpected. But it's done now, and although there might've been a less sudden way to give them to her, I think Remus is right, they do belong with her.
What did you say?
Re: Order Only: Private Message to Moony and Alice
As little as I could. I told you she'd confessed to nicking a bunch of my old albums, yes? Well, I found one she'd left behind and I put that in as well, so she'd be able to work out that I sent the lot.
The note just said that it seemed like Reg wanted her to have the rest and that I noticed she'd overlooked the other, that she ought to give it a listen.
I ... couldn't think of anything else to say. Plus I didn't want to go into details. The less she knows, the better.
Bloody Sirius Black sent her a stack of bleeding books from his miserable brother.
If anyone's wondering.
If anyone asks what's up tell them she was feeling a little ill this morning but thought she'd be alright, and then at lunchtime she started feeling just wretched.
I mean yes, thank you, and I really don't know why (and why NOW?)
Apparently when Regulus disappeared he left behind a stack of books that were meant to Pansy. And that's what came by owl at lunch. Books, and a note saying 'looks like Regulus wanted you to have these' and some muggle music albums (as if getting mail from Sirius Black wasn't DANGEROUS ENOUGH WITHOUT MUGGLE MUSIC for Merlin's sake!)
It's just so odd--now, of all times, I mean, to do something like this. I keep going over it and I can't fathom why he'd send something like that out of the blue.
I mean to say, he must have known it would shock her frightfully, what? And so far as we know he's got no reason to go out of his way to harm her. Which leaves...bally all, really.
What's he been doing, dragging a load of his brother's books around everywhere, and now he decides, 'Oh, look, it's the third of February! A perfect day, wot, to send all these to Pansy!'
I say, Ron, that's brilliant! That's what's been bothering me about it all. Of course he's not been dragging them about with him, saving them for the right time, what--because even if somehow he were saving them, now's surely not the right time, what?
Which must mean--oh, I say, do you think it could mean that he's only just come across them himself?
But I'm not sure what difference it makes whether he's had them or just got them or what. It was daft to send them to her like that.
I wonder what books they were. And whether there was a message from the other one, Regulus, in them. I mean, maybe, he said what date they should be sent on? Who knows.
The difference it makes is that he didn't intend any harm; he came across them, what, and saw that his brother wanted her to have them so he just sent the bally old things along. That makes quite a difference, what!
I say, it also makes a difference because it means he's only recently been where his brother was, do you see. Which means we can guess where that was, what?
Still, I'm dashed sorry it gave Pansy such a turn.
So I'm assuming Pansy's right when she says she knows it was him. But I'm sure she is. I mean ... that's probably what the albums were for, come to think of is. So she WOULD know.
Bloody hell! Why couldn't he leave well enough alone?
For that matter, where did he get hold of anything belonging to his brother, what? I've gone back and read their correspondence. They were never bloody well in the same bally old place--
Unless. But I don't think so, really. It couldn't have all been an act, could it have?
Only, he's not usually cruel, Sally-Anne, he just isn't. I don't bally well understand it, either.
And now I'm not sure whether to tell people she's sick, or to admit she's upset, or what. Draco's asking and of course he SAW her this morning and she was just fine.
How about saying something didn't agree with her at lunch? I mean, people are getting untransfigured bits of nasty stuff all the time, aren't they? And that's enough to turn your stomach when it happens.
That's just my point, yes. I mean to say, you'd not ask any further, would you? And nor would I, or anyone. But it's also something that just happens and it can't be proven, either.
Draco's her boyfriend, after all, so if she's ill or something, he might want to go and cheer her up. That's what I'd do. But if she's having a--female thing, well. I mean to say, old chap, that's the sort of thing he'll steer well clear from, what?

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Pansy Parkinson
I'm sorry to worry you, Lucius. I felt all queer at lunch all of a sudden. Madame Pomfrey looked me over, and said that I'll be fine with a bit of rest.
Reassuring, but what prompted the incident? Somehow I suspect you are a bit beyond stomach aches in anticipation of an exam, even a particularly nasty one, hm?
Was it your luncheon disagreeing with you, or something causing your ulcer to flare?
It's a bit embarrassing. I'd never had a reaction that strong before, you know, and because it took me by surprise I didn't know to take something beforehand. That's all. I just need to relax a bit this weekend and I'll be better.
... I see. Between you and Draco each airing your grievances in public this week, the journals are like to lose their reliability altogether. Perhaps I ought to change the notification spells.
Am informed (from no less than your acquaintance Mr Baddock) that there is no cure for adolescence - saving its passage.
Nature's surprises aside, you are otherwise well, I hope?
Yes. There's going to be a bit of a get together on Sunday organized by some of the girls in my year, and that ought to be enjoyable. And classes are going well. I'm doing quite well in Potions this term.

Re: Order Only: Private Message to Moony and Alice
I think she'd rather have the books, than not. You did the right thing by sending them to her.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
There's one that's the Complete Works of Calderon de la Barca, and another that's the Complete Works of Samuel Beckett.
There's some poetry by a bloke named Giacomo Leopardi.
There's a book called the Book of Jests that's jokes, and she kept looking at that one and crying harder, when we were in the dorm this afternoon.
There's one called the Decline of Slytherin.
And there's a book called Hexmistresses! that's biographies of witches from a long time ago.
