The universe seems to be closing in on me.

The summer continues fine

This is just as stupid as the other thing, Hermione. You should come and stay at the Burrow. Because you couldn't be in a funk here, mum wouldn't let you. It's something in her blood.

Just for a few days or something. I know Ginny would like it, and maybe we can get Harry here too.

[the_smart_one]

Maybe. I'll ask Mum and Dad, I suppose.

It'll help, probably.

[forever_cannons]

Come on, Hermione. I already hacked off Ginny and Harry at me, I gotta do right by at least one of my friends or something.

What's wrong?

[the_smart_one]

Everything

I wish I knew, Ron.

I'm kind of caught between two worlds, at the moment.

It's all right, though. I'm going to go to sleep and things will be better in the morn.

[goddesspatil]

Maybe tomorrow then?

Hermione, it's almost painful to hear you this sad. There's got to be something we, your friends can do.

[the_smart_one]

Tomorrow would be fine, actually.

I don't know. I feel vaguely, disconcertingly dramatic for bringing this stupid teenage angst of mine to the fore. It simply doesn't seem like something I should do. But I'm sick of not telling people that I'm feeling bad, and since nobody can tell over these journals, I imagine it's as good a course of action as any.

I'm not certain how long Parvati will be with us, honestly. There's a new bookshop I'd like to visit, and there's a dress shop across the street. I could be wrong, but I'm almost willing to bet galleons on her choice.

Perhaps Weasley is right though. I can't imagine that you're having a great deal of fun in your house right now, even if your mum has dropped the subject. Maybe a holiday would be good. You know the door is always open here.

[seeing_pink]

Wait, where am I going?

[the_boy_who]

Did your mum tell you? I rang you yesterday morning when Petunia went out to do the shopping, and I rang you on Friday afternoon too, but she said you were out.

Are you near a telephone now? I'm back at number four but they're going out to someone's house for tea.

[the_smart_one]

You did? Mum didn't tell me!

I'm right here. I'm right here. I don't go out with Padma until later. Please call!

[the_boy_who]

As soon as they leave, I'll ring. I think I might have scared your mum anyway, I said I was a friend from Hogwarts. I wasn't certain she'd want you talking to Harry Potter but I reckon Hogwarts isn't the right word to say either.

[the_smart_one]

It isn't, it really isn't, but that's all right - she shouldn't've, if it was my Dad he wouldn't've.

I'm so glad to finally speak with you again, Harry, I can't tell you. How does Sirius look? How does he feel? Is he all right?

There's plenty of noise here, and you're welcome to my room if you want it. I'll be hiding under a rock for the rest of the summer anyway. Perhaps we could trade.
