Order Only: Private message to Ron

[alt_sally_anne]

Sorry I wasn't at breakfast. I promise I'm not avoiding you.

I had really, really, really bad dreams last night. Woke up at like 4 in the morning and wound up waking up Pansy because I wanted to talk about them and I think I finally dozed back off just before I usually get up and she thought she'd just let me sleep.

Ugh ugh ugh. It was sort of like some of what I saw with the Prophesying Potion -- except, I remember this, and after the potion visions I just had what I'd written in the journals. But, you know, when I said Hogwarts was shattered and there were all those bodies. Except in the dream I was there while it was happening.

And it was full of -- there were loads of people who were dead, who were alive and fighting again. Like your Dad. And Percy, who was there fighting on our side. And Dean Thomas. And Neville, I mean not that he's dead but he was fighting. Also, some people were on our side who wouldn't be, like Patil and Finnigan. And loads of people just weren't there. Almost none of the Slytherins except for Draco and I think I saw Vince and Greg -- but, like, no Pansy, no Hydra, no Blaise. Well, I suppose Blaise would get the heck out of the way if a battle were starting so that's not surprising. Evelyn wasn't there. Mr and Mrs Longbottom weren't there and neither was Sirius but Mr Lupin was and so were Tonks and Mr Shacklebolt (and also your Mum and the rest of your family, I mean it wasn't just Percy). And the Headmistress! She was another one who was back, I guess.

Voldemort was there and the Lestranges -- right, Raz was ALSO not dead -- and Dolohov. But not Crouch. And Dolohov didn't fight nearly as well as he does in real life. None of them did, really. (None of the Councilwizards, I mean.)

People were dying all around me but I couldn't touch anything. No one could see or hear me. It was like being a ghost only worst. I mean, at least if Nearly-Headless Nick shouted 'look out behind you' you'd hear him, right? Even if he couldn't exactly patch you up with dittany if you didn't duck fast enough?

My dad?

[alt_sally_anne]

Yeah. He was alive, and fighting. And still alive when I woke up.

[alt_ron]

...

Who died?

[alt_sally_anne]

Fred, Tonks, Mr Lupin, Lavender Brown, Colin Creevey, those are the ones I saw for sure.

[alt_ron]

I don't like the idea of you as a ghost.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, this dream certainly didn't make me think it would be fun.

I don't know if that's quite how they feel. The Baron, Nick, the Grey Lady, Myrtle... any of them. I suppose I could ask.
