I told myself all morning, all through Ancient Runes that I could do it. That it would just be an owl and that it wasn't a person or someone I knew and that it would be all right. But then I got to class and saw that stupid fat fucking face beaming at the idea that we would just be torturing those damn owls.
I couldn't do it. I pointed my damn wand at it and I couldn't say the words and now I've got detention. And I don't care. And I am pretty sure that I'm going to be sick.
