We're back together. We were up all night, talking and all, that's why I was so tired at breakfast. And anyway, he's spent most of the day with the Headmistress and Lupin came up, but he should be back from dinner soon. Anyway. Yeah. I told him if he ever acted like such an angry prat like that, I'd hex him good. He's on alert now.

~~I'm so happy, I can't say. Harry's getting help...and I feel better about us than before. I don't want to learn lessons like this anymore, but...everything is okay.~~ So. Whew, huh? No wonder people think I'm Most Argumentative. But...it's all good. So.

Yeah. I'm smiling like a moron. I can't even pretend I'm not.

See, if I had my way, you'd just stay with us the whole time. But I can be unselfish. I suppose. You can come any time--I was just wondering...well. Did you want any company on your non-Gelsey visits to London?

It's a tempting offer, really, and one that I would gladly accept if I didn't think Gran would be too lonely.

I think I need photographic evidence of the Great Woolly Neville. And I will frame it for all time.

You should bring your Gran along one day, we'll introduce her to my Auntie Muriel. How are those two not best friends for life, they do remind me of each other. Muriel has the same fur stole that your Gran does. But hers looks like it wants to eat me.

Hopefully you would hide this evidence under your pillow and only look at it when everyone else is asleep.

That might be a recipe for trouble. What if they suddenly bond stronger than any spell and gang up on us? Merlin knows my Gran would probably enjoy anything that is wearable and also looks like it wants to eat you.

No, I'll go. It was just a thought I had. We go every year, so of course I'll go.

We would all be required to carry green handbags, too. My Gran has multiple coloured handbags, mind you, so the colours may vary. Would I be forced to wear a skirt?

Oh - yeah they can. She said that I can't say a thing or else she'll 'hex me back to 10000 BC to be eaten by dinosaurs.' I have to say - I believe her. I told Lupin about this, and he said that when you see what your anger can do unbridled is when you really start to learn to control it. It wasn't the first time - when Snape was running from the castle after - killing Dumbledore, my anger - So I suppose that's good, that I'm learning it now.

It's just - that I had to hurt Ginny this bad to learn it. Bollocks.

Thank you Ginny, for the add. Bloody hell did you write this up right after I left? ~~You beat me to it.~~

Yeah. I am. I went to McGonagall first thing on Wednesday and - told her that she was right and apologised for being a right git to her when we first discussed it. I feel bad for causing a fuss, I mean - Lupin came up today to talk which was - so appreciated. And tomorrow the Healer that the Auror Program uses is coming up with Shacklebot; I think McGonagall gave them a guilt trip to end all for not having me see someone sooner but honestly, with all of the chaos right after the war, it's so understandable that something like this would slip through the cracks. ~~Besides it didn't really help that I was insisting that I was fine and just needed sleep and a sandwich all of the time.~~ We'll set up a regular schedule for me, once a week with the Healer as well as with McGonagall.

This is hard, to say that I need help. But I don't want to - be the person that saying no to the help will create.

Kingsley is coming here as well to help? At least you know you'll be in capable hands; I've only heard good things about the Heater that works with the Aurors. Hopefully they'll be able to straighten everything out.

Private to Harry
We were worried, Harry. It might have sounded like we were attacking you at first, but we all felt it was for your own good. And look, you're getting the help you need so, you're welcome.

Ah, Happy Christmas to the DA! Kingsley wanted to come to the first meeting, but Ministry matters prevented it. So he's combining coming along and as he said, making sure what should have been done months ago is done in terms of my 'post-combat decompression' - which is what they call it there how formal - and then coming to the meeting to speak about his experiences as an Auror, the importance of DADA studies and on.

Can you picture Fudge doing this for us? Anyway I'm hoping to have Tonks come for a meeting right away once we resume the term. Maybe a return of Moody, if we are all that lucky?

Private to Hermione
I know. It is - hard. And I got a bit cross with Lupin yesterday about feeling like I was being ganged up on - he said I sounded like Sirius. Yeah. That gave me pause.

No because I already know his answer. I'm asking you, Head Girl.

Really? Maybe he'll be able to teach all of us some of the things they learn during Auror training, and it would be a good opportunity (especially the younger years in the first DA meeting) to listen to him. It'd be great career advice for them.

Post-combat decompression - I wasn't aware that they called it this. Maybe there's something in the Library that can give us a better idea as to what it is and the treatments for it. I'd imagine it's very similar to Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, but St. Mungos and the Ministry generally do things a bit differently than in the muggle world.

Fudge would never have even allowed for a "club" like the DA, Harry, you know that. I hope Tonks does get to come, we haven't seen her in awhile.

Private to Harry
Well, it's only natural that you would have felt that way since we were ganging up on you a bit. I'm sorry for that, but you now know that it was for your own good. We were just worried and so was he. Though, I suppose it's quite the compliment to be compared to Sirius like that - you were close to him after all.

Very well - things between Ron and I are obviously not well. I know that you and Ginny were listening in on the conversation from your bed. I'm sorry you had to overhear that fight though. Had I known you two were in there, I would have insisted that we go somewhere else.

Great career advise and - well, what my focus has been is that everyone needs to know these skills. How many DA members who fought at Hogwarts are going off to be Aurors? Being well-versed in DADA is for your own preservation, for our way of life - darkness doesn't rest, neither can we. I just feel so fortunate that we have a Minister of Magic who wants to encourage this philosophy: that silence is just as deadly as darkness. We're all in this together, just like we were that night. But - more of us now, all of us.

Well that's the term that they call this - it's therapy, isn't it. But instead of saying 'therapy,' it's PCD, it's a military term borrowed from the British services. And yeah, McGonagall said that muggles call it PTSD which - isn't that what veterans of the Gulf War sometimes have? I remember that from the Beeb broadcasts, about soldiers with PTSD. I guess that makes me feel - a touch more okay with all of this. That this is something - that others have.

She and Lupin are going to be at the Burrow over the holiday. Will you be able to come for a day? Maybe we can all try to coordinate?

Private to Hermione
I know - though I have to say if there wasn't the varying degrees of McGonagall's stern compassion, your rational persistence, Nev's kindness, Ron's levity, and then Gin's dual attack of sweetness and pure fury, I might have gone barmy. It it had been all of the same - especially all of Ginny's screaming bloody hell - it wouldn't have worked out very pleasantly. I think being compared to Sirius in some areas is the highest compliment I can get, but - I can recognize that Sirius acted too brashly and rashly, impulsively. He needed to think more. When I thought about it - I realised you all were right. I had to stop lashing out. So.

Yeah, Ginny mentioned she told you. And yes - it was something I wish we hadn't heard. But - it must be something that can be healed, don't you agree? It's clear he's miserable without you - as he always is when you have been apart in the past.

Of course, I can see the need for everyone to be prepared, but not everyone is going to see it like that. Some people just like learning complicated spells and having the chance to practice them on one another. There just has to be a delicate and fine like between saying that it's to prepare us for a "just in case" and a "this can be fun and educational" all at the same time. Especially since there are those that don't see it from your point of view, Harry.

I remember watching several of those programs at home a few years ago, too. Hopefully you're able to get yours straightened out a lot easier and a lot faster than they did - after all, admitting you have a problem is the first step to healing.

I might be there. It depends on extenuating circumstances.

Private to Harry
I'm relieved that you see it from a positive standpoint instead of a negative one because otherwise, we wouldn't be having this conversation and you wouldn't be so understanding. It shows that you're maturing and I'm sure Sirius would have been proud of it, even if he was the wizard version of Peter Pan.

There might be a way to work it out, but right now, I have far too many things on my mind and just really don't want to talk to him, Harry. After some of the things he said - well, they were just hurtful.

But at some point, there has to be a distinction between the DA and DADA class. Snape is - oi - a decent instructor, making sure that students know the necessary curriculum. I personally think Lupin and Moody - well "Moody" - were far better instructors, but Snape is quite decent. The DA will teach you more tricks, some of the glitzier things perhaps, but also practical battle skills. It's more than DADA, we're Dumbledore's Army. I really hold our name as a part of our mission, Hermione. I don't mind people who just want to have fun and learn in the hopes that they embrace this larger vision for the DA that I have : that we all be prepared to be together, in case. And - maybe I'm being bullheaded, but Hermione, there is only so much I can give at the moment. ~~I need the the DA to be about keeping us all safe. Please. Understand - I just need this. So that - I can sleep a bit more.~~

Yeah. Yeah it is. Still bloody rots though.

I understand. If not hopefully a little romp to Grimmauld could be in the cards. Kreacher and I have some plans for the place.

Private to Hermione
Oh. This is five hours of talking with Gins, two with McGonagall, and three with Lupin helping me be so 'mature.' I'd like to take credit, but - the wisdom of others. Well. That and I just know that, if I lived life with his philosophy, I don't think my life would be very long. My impulses take me to very nasty places sometimes. I need my friends to pen me in - but I'd like to think that our Horcrux quest taught me patience and maturity, enough to finally let me listen. I'd like to think.

Peter Pan. Sirius in tights. Oh, now there's a laugh.

I know he did. Just - if i may say, I was - hideous to Ginny in my anger. I said things to her that were horrible and allowed some of the more disgusting elements of the school to rip into her character. Because of me. And yet she forgave me when I just baldly, sincerely - plead for forgiveness. I just hope that if Ron can apologise for what he said, an apology that comes from the heart, you'll hear him out. ~~Apologise early and often. Period.~~

I understand. We will be prepared because we have you as our teacher.

If I'm unable to come to the Burrow, I'll try to visit you and Kreacher at Grimmauld. Promise.

That's four hours well spent then since you finally saw reason. Honestly? You listen a lot better, but you still have the tendency to be a bit rash in your decision, but I suppose that's what makes you you, Harry, so we understand.

Of course I'll hear him out, but he actually has to pluck up the courage to apologise first. And we both know Ron.
