Zacharias Smith doesn't kick old ladies

[WARDED TO IOAN]

I know you can't read this, but it wouldn't feel right if I didn't write this.

Everything that's happened for the last couple of months have been surreal. There were times when I wanted to give up, and there were things I wish I could take back, things I could have done better. We've all lost so much, and I wish we didn't. I still blame myself for your and my sister's death -- and I know everyone's been telling me that I should stop, but I wish I could turn back time and make the both of you come back, so that you'd be here with the rest of us.

I miss you. I think I'll always miss you -- and I won't be the only one; Mona will miss you too. But I think everything's going to be all right; I don't know how and I know I've never been the sort to be too optimistic about things, but I think it will. I can't say I'm going to be perfectly fine, but this is better than nothing.

All of those times when I went out to fight against the Death Eaters -- it was all because you taught me how important it is to take care of the people around me.

So thanks, mate.

[WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFFS]

I know all of us haven't been getting along as well as we used to, but I wanted to say that you'll always be my friends and that if you need me to wait never mind that's too



Yeah.

Summers, Callahan, Summerby; we're going to go back on the pitch once we get more free time, all right?

Looks like my sisters and Mum are having a war about this year's Christmas decorations. At least some things never change.

[WARDED TO WAYNE HOPKINS]

Feeling better?

[WARDED TO MEGAN AND MONA]

I don't deserve this award -- everyone else did -- but me? I left. If I had stayed, maybe I could have helped more people. Maybe I could have helped Ioan. But I ran away because I was afraid and I didn't want my family to be sad. It sounded like the right decision back then, but now looking at this medal, I don't know anymore.

[WARDED PRIVATE]

There's just been too many deaths. I want it to end, but I don't understand why all of this has to happen in the first place. And I don't get why people like my sister, Ruby, Andrew, Cicely and even Charis have to be targeted. Granted, Charis was a Slytherin but I don't think she was that bad to deserve this too. At least she had helped us cheer Mona up with the puppets back then.

I just don't think it's fair. There are worst people out there who deserve this kind of fate, but I know it's horrible to even think about it -- because no one should be getting this. But I shouldn't be surprised, especially after Ioan and my sister... but that doesn't make it easier to accept.

If we're putting people on trial for ridiculous reasons, can we maybe put Blythe Hancock on trial for overuse of emphasis?

No, maybe we should put the owner of the cafeteria where I ate breakfast this morning for charging me more than he should be for my food. Making my life unfair -- now that's a real crime.

[WARDED TO MEGAN]

I have this small problem and it'd be great if you can solve it.

See, I have this girlfriend who won me the other day, and she suggested this brilliant idea for a date. Problem is, my parents won't let me out of the house during weekends since they're being ridiculously overprotective and my parents keep nagging me about taking extra security measures, which is irritating. And I'd like to take her to that date this weekend, but I think they'd want me home.

But I don't exactly want to keep her waiting for too long.

What do you think?

[WARDED TO TRISTAN]

So that Quidditch game Francis is setting up -- you joining or what?

[WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF BOYS '98 MINUS TRISTAN]

So I've finally caught up. Nothing to do with me having dated Hannah, and Tristan's our friend -- but am I the only one who thinks it's strange they're dating?

I won't lie; as much as I enjoyed hanging out with some people at Hogwarts' Reconstruction, it's nice not to work there anymore. It's especially nice not to see any of the Slytherins again.

[WARDED TO TRISTAN]

I have a question.

[WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFFS & THE D.A]

I'm mostly all right. Thanks for helping me out that day, and I'm sorry if I was being difficult. My family's still dealing with this and I've been helping them out. I don't know if I'm doing a good job, because my sisters still cry a lot. And my mum won't really leave the house. It's been strange without her. Sarah had this habit of waking us all up on Saturday morning so we'd get to eat breakfast together as a family, and everyone used to be annoyed with her for it and I'd usually be the one avoiding it since it was always too early, but now she's not here to do that anymore. It just feels very strange.

[WARDED TO MEGAN JONES]

They were being prats.

But you shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, but I don't trust any of the Death Eaters or whoever's running with them, and I don't want you to trust them because I don't want anything to happen to you.

[WARDED TO THE D.A + HUFFLEPUFFS 98]

they killed my sister.

[WARDED TO MEGAN]

So.

[WARDED TO SUSAN]

Megan just asked me a trick question and I don't know how to answer it.

I broke my left arm, but I'm all right. I'm pretty sure my Mum is getting a continuous headache from the things I've been involved in this year, though.

Thanks for the birthday presents and cards, by the way.

Exams are a waste of time.

Not sure whether this is good timing or not, but I've been missing Quidditch and wondering if anyone wants to play a game this weekend. I haven't practised since they stopped Quidditch last year, and it would be brilliant to try it again. I know a good field to play at, if anyone's interested. It'd be nice to get our minds off NEWTs revision for a bit too, I guess.

Oh yeah, former Hufflepuff team members are encouraged to come. Ioan would have co
