[Susan's Diary]
On the edge of the page is a smear of blood, dry and brown now.

I don't know why he didn't ask us to help with this because clearly it just might have gone a bit better had they chosen to do it another way. But I'm not going to insist on knowing because for some reason we were not to be involved. I think they've done something terrible that he can't tell Terry about. But the result was something that might have jumped ahead his research by leaps and bounds.
But at what cost?
He and Hermione arrived back at the house late last night in very rough shape. I'd forgotten how rusty blood smells and it was all I could do to keep my supper down, there was a lot of it all over her back.
I'm sure I'll get used to it in time.
Hermione asked me not to wake the house. I don't blame her. Who would want to bring that undo worry and fear down on them? I feel a little useful this time, even if it was only to fetch and carry the potions she needed.
I wanted to ask if she had anticipated this sort of thing happening. She had all those blood-replenishing potions and healing potions available. She must have known it would turn sour. I'm just glad that she's alright and that Michael doesn't have to explain to Ron what happened and why.
So why did they do it?
It's something to think about.
Would I put myself in such a situation if there was no other alternative? Would Terry and I face the seedy underbelly of wizarding society? Are we going to have to do these things too?
I don't know if I'm ready for that
