How could I have let Riley's death happen? I knew we were in danger. I shouldn't have stepped out for the mere few hours that I did. I shouldn't have let her stay home alone. I should have cast more protective spells over our flat. I could have prevented this! She could be alive, but I was stupid and irresponsible. I can tell the Order is suspicious of me now; they all think I had a hand in her death. But I didn't! I can't even be sure who did it.
I think I'm going mad. I have recurring nightmares about her and the faceless person who did it. I'm not thinking clearly anymore. I know that getting revenge would cripple the Order's efforts, but I can't stop myself from craving the feeling of watching her murderer's life drain from his eyes. I fear becoming as bad as them.
Please alert me if you recognize the handwriting in this note. I found it next to her body.
Merry Christmas and to all a very HAPPY New Year
Do not think your actions are going unnoticed. Justice will be served.
I've put a dent in my gold wristwatch. I should be more careful about these things.
