How is Flynn?

It's an awful thing to say, but I'm almost relieved that things have sorted out the way they have. It will still end in death, but a far kinder death than we'd thought it would have to be.

Cold comfort, that.

I've a feeling I'll get an earful at Saturday's meeting. I don't want to tell my children what we Undoubtedly, those who were least involved in the planning of it will find it the easiest to pass judgement, and will insist that there were alternatives that would leave a lighter conscience and cleaner hands.

But I see the crushing guilt and fear that consumes Draco and the close scrutiny that Harry is under and I know that this is the best of a series of awful choices. Thank Merlin for Rachel. Thank Merlin for you, Severus. And Frank, thank you for helping to bear this burden and this responsibility. You are my strength.

I've been sitting at my desk for the past hour staring at my journal. There's not a chance I'm getting any sleep tonight, so I might as well make use of it and help keep watch. I'll be there in a few with a thermos.
