It feels strange. I know I am myself again, but I still feel so disconnected from Above. It's hard not to think I'm still somehow wrong.

wWeR am I?

So are there any people out there who haven't read the Harry Potter series and therefore don't already assume they know most everything there is to know about those of us who are quite real and not the fictional characters you assumed us to be? Honestly, if one more person comments on how 'sweet' the conversation between me and my father was that day on the Platform, I might very well hex them. There is more to me than a mere epilogue in a novel that was penned by an mediocre writer, at best.

It's been quiet without Kaylee. Too much space. Now there's someone and he's really not quiet.

He thinks everything's bloody. I don't see it.

Oh man, you guys crack me up.

All of this and still no Famine or War. So unevenly balanced.

You know what you'll need to do eventually. It can't go on like this. It isn't naturally sustainable.






Cars make smog, smog collects overhead. I think it looks like rain on the horizon.

Sort of weird to be able to be honest about stuff here. Pepper and Brian and Wensleydale and my parents and the rest don't really remember none of it. I couldn't let them. It would've changed stuff, and I didn't want nothing to change. Still.. it's kinda lonely, not being able to talk to them like I used to. I'm different, even if they don't know it. I feel different. And they'd be scared of me. Everyone would be scared of me.

Don't they got a library that has books with words in them? And that don't have big empty suits of armour?

I want to thank Yuuji for his kindness.

They took me away from her. Put me here.

Good.

There are movies, too. I know what I'm doing tonight.

A slushie and some DDR. I think that's what I need about now.

Has anyone spotted an arcade around here? Or like... A bowling alley that might have an arcade in it?

I just wanted to let you all know, in case you missed it, that the irritating little little boy that showed up last night is Tom Riddle. Yes, Tom Riddle becomes Voldemort. I know as well as any of you exactly what that means. But I'd also like to point out that he's just a kid. While I don't know if he's an evil kid or one that just likes to, ... be better than everyone else, he's just a kid. And I'd like to believe that all of you'll consider that. And not go looking for him wands blazing. When I find him I'll keep an eye out for him, and I think he should stay with someone .. not one of us. I just thought all of you had the right to know and Albus has this insane notion that I should let you all.

That said. I don't think we should tell the muggles who he is if we can absolutely help it. If they know that much about us, I reckon they'll know who Tom Riddle is. And I really can't say what they'll do. Since he doesn't have a wand and doesn't even know what he can do-other than he can talk to snakes and make it really hard for people to catch him-I don't think he's a danger to anyone. And that it'll be better for everyone that he never find out just who he grows up to be.

That said, if it wasn't obvious already, I'm making him my responsiblity. If .. if the lot of you want to help, that'd be bloody wonderful because I haven't a good.

You want to do something? No school, no homework, no war, no responsi ... sounds like a good reason to find something to do.
