Viewing Black's body

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, the weather was perfectly horrid, unfortunately. If it had been horrid right away, that would have been better because we'd have just turned around and come another day, but we'd already been in the queue for an hour when it started sleeting. I was wearing my lovely new coat (thank you again, Pansy!) so that helped. After a bit Mr and Mrs Stretton left me and Jeremy to hold our place in line and they took Gemma and Philip and the little ones, and Maureen to help them with the little ones, and went somewhere warmer until we were closer to getting inside.

Anyway.

Seeing Black was a bit grim but also brilliant. I thought about all the awful things he'd done to all of us, and how he would never get to do them again, and someday ALL the enemies of Our Lord will end up like this, and after that I didn't feel sick, I felt warm all over. And we all signed the book, even Gemma, and went home to get dry clothes and hot tea. The Strettons are going off to some New Year's Eve party in a little while.

I SAW MY MUM.

MY PARENTS CAME TO THE VIEWING AND STOOD RIGHT BEHIND US IN THE QUEUE.

'A bit grim.' Good joke, Perks.
