I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

After I got back from Cambridge, I went over to check on the muggle children with measles.

One of them died this afternoon.

His mum said I shouldn't blame myself. That he'd seemed fine. That there wasn't anything I could have done if I'd been there.

I can't remember the last time I felt so

No.

I mean, that's awful.

Are you going to be all right? I mean, I know you're not okay. But-

Do the Strettons know? Are you-

Is anyone-

I mean if you need to talk or something, we could fire call.

I know you were cross with me before, but y'know-

Anywiz. I guess just say if you need something, yeah?

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm going to Pansy's.

I'm just packing up a few things, I'm going to spend the night. I'm leaving the Strettons a note. I can't stay here right now.

[alt_pansy]

Pack more. Pack everything.

[alt_pansy]

Or no. Pack what you need and we'll go back tomorrow and get the rest.

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm going to have to come back here because I'll still need to check on the rest of the sick people. At least until I go back to school.

[alt_pansy]

Okay. But you can still spend the rest of your nights here. If you want.

[alt_pansy]

She's spending the night with me. And the rest of hols if I have anything to say about it.

[alt_ron]

Good. I guess. I mean, I wish

Yeah. I'm glad you're going.

[alt_luna]

Yes, I think that's a very good idea.

I'm glad you can be with a friend tonight, Sally-Anne.

I'm so sorry.

[alt_neville]

Oh, Sally-Anne...I'm ever so sorry.

She's right, you know. You can't blame yourself, you can't. It's a really bad disease, and you did everything you could. You were the only one who gave him a chance. It may not have been enough, but it could be that more of those kids would have died if you hadn't been there to try to help.

Anyway...I s'pose that nothing anyone says right now seems like enough.

[alt_lee]

Blimey. Don't even know what to say.

Real sorry Perks.
