I received an owl from Portia Rubens, one of my roommates. She's dreadfully upset about what happened to Thomas. He used to help her sometimes with her Arithmancy homework.
I think all of the Ravenclaws will be quite shaken by this, not just the half-bloods. One of the not-so-nice things about our House is that sometimes we take some excessive pride in our cleverness, think it's all we need. And it's true: he wasn't just clever in Arithmancy, he was truly brilliant. I suppose he thought he was so good at that one subject, that he would be safe.
Merlin, listen to me talking about him as if he's dead or something.

It truly is awful.
