Private to Neville

Nev, I saw a Dark Mark out my window. I just got back from Padma's after going to find Lavender, and the Leaky is surrounded.

I still haven't found Lavender.

WHAT?

THE Dark Mar--- The word sweeps into a jagged line across the page

Are you sure?

No, of course you're sure. You just don't misinterpret that!

Do you know anything else? What about the Leaky staff? Tom? Seamus? Are they alright?

I wish I knew more. I don't. The place was surrounded by Magical Law Enforcement. I went to look for Lavender as she wasn't at her flat. Oh gods, what if she's dead?

If I find anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.

PS If it isn't too much trouble, Neville... could you talk to me through the journals a bit? I'm feeling a little lost, and I know we haven't been close, but a familiar face and all... if it's not too bothersome.

Magical Law Enforcement? There at the Leaky? Merlin, that means it's serious, doesn't it?

I hope--

I'm sure she's--

I'm sure Lavender's fine.

It's not really a familiar face, Parvati.

I mean, it's only writing after all...

And I'm crossing too much out, aren't I?

I'm a bit distracted at the moment, but I'll watch my journal as long as I can. Don't think I'll be able to sleep anyway.
