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.

-Justin

It didn't exactly talk to me. It talked to Ron and Justin, since they were the ones getting ready to destroy it. Brought up all the horrible things they'd done, called them Dark Wizards, said they should embrace it and use the power the horcrux had...

With me, it just made me feel like I couldn't trust anyone else with it. I couldn't let it out of my control. It didn't say that out loud, though. If it had, maybe I'd have seen how ridiculous that was.

I'm glad you trusted them, then. Because that must've been difficult to do.

And really, that's something we have, I think, that he could never truly understand. Being able to trust and love people, I mean. So I can see how it'd want to make you question it.
