Jun. 25th, 2003 01:22 pmAm stealing a moment on Poppy's computer to update everyone on the situation.
As Lisa posted, the fourth-year Ravenclaw have been found alive and perfectly healthy, though frightened out of their wits. We've also located the second-year Hufflepuff and while half of them are currently being looked after by the Healers, the other half were not so lucky. The dungeons are now an emergency morgue. I don't recommend anyone go down there unless they absolutely have to.
Harry's been found, and I've been to see him. I will be honest with all of you - he doesn't look well. The Healers are doing their best, and they've stopped most of the bleeding, but Harry won't wake up and I just couldn't stand it in there any longer. Sirius is with him right now, sometimes as Padfoot but mostly as himself. When I left, he was perched beside Harry's bed, singing some old Muggle songs to him that I never knew he knew, and being a nuisance in general to the Healers. But no one has the heart to tell him to go away.
I am torn between wanting to be there for Harry and not wanting to be in the way so I am sort of hovering nearby. I've sequestered myself in Poppy's office, and if anyone - students or staff - needs someone to talk to about what's happened, I am available. I can't pretend I understand it at all myself, but maybe we can all help one another to understand. I don't know, I don't know much of anything anymore.
Time to close the door. I can hear Sirius singing about sunshine, and clouds of gray, and it's getting hard to see the computer monitor.
Knock if you need me, Hogwarts.
