I'm amazed the Prophet found out about everything so quickly, although I'm not surprised that the Malfoys are staying quiet about everything.  I doubt Draco even remembers what happened!

Today was weird, to say the least.  After being bounced  between the office and the Ministry for questioning, Bingley told me to come in late this morning.  I was only at work for a few hours before he sent me home again- said I needed a bit of a break after yesterday.  Still, I think I would have rather been at work- being out of the office just gave me more time to focus on everything, to think.

What would have happened to Malfoy if I hadn't heard him screaming?  It horrifies me to think that I could have stood there and watched him being killed.  I- I just don't know what to think, right now.

Professor-

I just wanted to see if you'd had any word on how Draco is doing. 

Thanks

Ginny-

I just wanted to tell you how amazing you were yesterday.  The clinic is a great accomplishment, and I was just blown away by how well you were able to deal with Draco's injuries- you are amazing.

Feel free to write me once a day to tell me that. I could do with a reminder now and then.

You got Greyback off of Malfoy, didn't you? I was a bit fuzzy with the who-and-how of the whole thing. Guess we both did good, huh?

How've you been otherwise? Tell me something nice that has nothing to do with gaping open wounds.

Yeah, I heard his screams when I was walking through Hogsmeade. I only wish I'd been able to do more, or gotten there sooner- although I suppose I should just be happy I didn't get there later.

I'm doing well, otherwise. My legal exams are in a few weeks, but I'm hoping they go well, and I've got a new girlfriend-

How have you been? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages, either!

I wonder how many people heard those screams and didn't do a thing. You're brilliant as ever, Dean.

Legal exams. I still can't believe it. Bloody law. You, of all people. And don't you dare gloss over this new girlfriend thing. You think you can't tell me? I won't erupt in some ex-girlfriend rage, I promise.

Busy. I've been busy, and that's all I can really say. It's all nonstop these days.

Thanks, Gin. I knew I kept you as a friend for some good reason! Just kidding, of course.

I've been seeing Hannah Abbott for a few weeks now- she's brilliant, but I almost screwed it up before we ever got together, just because I was being a prat. Thank Merlin I seem to be over that, now!

And, I completely understand about working nonstop. Between the office, studying, and working with Seamus on the Viewer business, I barely see my flat!

Hey, I know this is a strange question, but do you have any of that Dreamless Sleep potion Madam Pomfrey used to give out? I think I could use some after last night.

-Dean

As long as we keep up the flattery I suppose we'll stay friends.

Hannah, eh? She's nice enough, I suppose. I find it hard to believe that you were a prat, but I guess I'm biased. Sometime we should both set aside some time and just chat.

Dreamless Sleep? Do I need to ask why you need it? I'll send you some, but you know how easy it is to get hooked on that sort of potion. Be careful.

Oh, I can definitely be a prat at times, and this time it was for several months. I do have your brother to thank for pulling me out of it, though.

I had a nightmare last night, about Hannah getting attacked by Greyback. I'd just like the potion for tonight, to make sure I actually get some sleep.
25th-Mar-2008 08:21 pm (UTC) - Private to Dean
I know those kinds of nightmares.

I'll give you a nice strong batch, enough for a couple of nights if you want. But careful with it.

Thanks, Gin. I appreciate it.

Dean,

After all this and all you've done for my family, I think you can call me Remus by now.

Draco will recover. He's been moved to his home and Severus will there to care for him. He's in bad shape, but thanks to Ginny and Severus he should recover. He won't ever be the same Draco we knew. I don't know that anyone can come through that unscathed. But he'll recover.

A large part of that is because of you, Dean. If you hadn't been there or hadn't acted, he might not be alive at all.

Professor-
Remus-

I just wish I could have gotten there sooner, but I am glad to hear that he will recover. I was amazed by Ginny and Professor Snape-

Please, though, keep me updated, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

-Dean
