It's so strange. I keep thinking that the secret I told everyone here that was supposed to keep me from breaking this Lock is out now. It's been blown sky-high.
But even if the secret's out, there's no way I'd ever break the Lock now. My parents must have given me up to my Gran to keep me safe. That's the only way I can figure it. It's not that they didn't like me, or they didn't like kids. It was so they could do work that's so dangerous that they could get arrested for it. Maybe even killed for it, the same way that Sirius Black was killed.
I can't repay that by doing anything that would ever hurt anybody here. Or any of the other people they were trying to protect.
If we ever find out who they are.
I'm scared for my brother, though. If it was so dangerous to keep Evelyn and me, are they sure they're going to be able to keep him safe enough?
