Journal Entry; 11 September 1980.

[Warded to Elle]
I am such a mix of emotions right now. I am elated that the Death Eaters have been defeated and that we have managed to take back the Ministry. I am so very proud that Gawain was part of that. But at the same time we lost so many people and friends. I feel terrible that I was not able to do more for Florence. And I'm going to miss Jo terribly.
But at the same time I am engaged. I am engaged! I'm going to be Mrs Gawain Robards! I feel so absurdly girlish about it all and it clashes so with the sense of loss at everything else.

Elle, I have a very important question to ask you now that I'm well enough they're actually letting me up and walk around.
