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 Hydra
The diary was more subtle, I think, but I'm not sure why. I'm glad you were able to look past what the thing was saying to you, though.
I don't know if we should use fiendfyre again. It doesn't sound very safe at all.
Re: Private Message to Hydra
But it did know just what sorts of things to say, even if it wasn't particularly subtle. It was dashed perceptive, in fact. It offered me vengeance upon Auror Crouch straight away. And--it went on to talk about how what I'd done to Minister Fudge meant I was truly a dark wizard, that I couldn't be as good at dark arts if my soul weren't black and twisted.
If I'd been in another mood, what, or another sort of person, perhaps, I can see how it would have been dashed tempting to keep it and hold it to its promises.
And no, fiendfyre is decidedly not safe, even with all the precautions we could think to put in place. I shouldn't want to use it again even with 'proper' supervision. Nasty stuff, what.
