Order Only: the Diadem
Hello, everyone,
I say, we're one closer to our goal. Today, Ron, Harry and I destroyed Ravenclaw's diadem. (I say, sorry, Luna. Oh, and Charlie, I do apologise if it makes negotiations more difficult with the goblins. It did look goblin-made, what, but since it was decidedly another horcrux, perhaps they won't mind.)
I don't want anyone to panic, but we used Fiendfyre. It went better than I rather expected, what, though it was still--well, I say. We did it, anyway, and the secret room helped us keep the fire from spreading.
Ron sustained a few burns and Sally-Anne thought it best to take me to the Hospital Wing for mine. I'm back in my dormitory now. I've got a salve for the shoulder but it jolly well hurts, even with that. The hand.... Well, I can write, as you can see, though not as steadily as one might wish. But Healer Patil says I ought to see marked improvement by morning and if I continue with the ointment, it will be fully healed by next week. It seems I'll have a jolly handsome scar, which he was quick to assure me will make me quite fascinating. He was equally quick to tell us not to try this sort of spellwork again without proper supervision, however.
At any rate, no lasting harm was done and the diadem is well and truly gone now.

Re: Private message to Ron and Justin
Yes. Well, some of it was merely a twisted truth, what. But none of it deserves any thought at all.
In a way, I'm bally well grateful it said all those things. Put all together like that, the whole picture was so appallingly ludicrous one had to put a stop to it.

Re: Private message to Ron and Justin
That was dangerous.
It was how it felt.
Yeah. I mean, now it's easy to see it was saying what we wanted to hear. But then...
Re: Private message to Ron and Justin
But it wouldn't make it right. It's necessary to neutralise him but if I did to him what Dolohov and I did to Fudge, well.... It's shocking bad form, what.
That feeling, though. I say, that's what convinced me to get a move on before any of us lost the will for it.
