Private Message to Ginny Weasley

[alt_evelyn]

I miss you so terribly, you know.

Everyone does. But it's like there's this shining banner of beautiful red hair and a bright smile that's missing every time we sit down for dinner, or have a meeting, and I can just tell that the room is a little dimmer because you're not here with us.

I'm glad you're still alive. Beyond glad. I hope we'll get to see one another again someday soon.

Ginny, I need you to do me a favour.

I know you talk with Mr Dolohov. He saved my life once. And no matter what's happened since

I think this is something he'd consider very important, Ginny. It is news about Mr Crouch, and I feel obligated to share it with him, because I owe him, and it would harm neither him nor us to learn of it. I would write him direct, but I needed a touch of discretion, and you know how very much I dislike attention. If you could copy this down exactly, and give it to him, I would appreciate it, and I honestly believe he would as well. Here is the message.

Er fiel etwa eine Meile südlich südwestlich der Astronomieturm, in den Wäldern. Es war eine ziemlich große Explosion, die eine Lichtung geschaffen. Er war sofort tot, und sein Körper war abgesehen von der Explosion zerrissen. Ich habe Erfahrung mit leeren Gräber. Ich weiß, wie es sich anfühlt. Wenn ein geliebter Mensch stirbt, und es gibt keinen Körper zu begraben... Es ist eine schreckliche Sache in der Tat. Ich weiß, es war nicht deine Schuld. Wir sind nicht in den Wäldern, aber hüte dich vor den Kentauren. Ich hoffe, dass Sie ihn zu finden, und Ruhe finden.

أول الغضب جنون وآخره ندم

البقاء في رأسك

إن مع اليوم غدا يا مسعدة

السلام و احترام المعلم

Thank you, Ginny. All my very best.

- Evelyn Longbottom.

I think you're trying to trick me.

[alt_evelyn]

I think it's a shame that war can corrupt even the best of intentions into something that is a warped version of itself, but apparently, I cannot be trusted to think on my own these days.

It's not always a trick.

I hate this. All of this. I'm sorry, Ginny.

[alt_evelyn]

Many happy returns, Ginny.

I'm so very glad you're alive. Here's to many, many more.
