Summer & OWL results

[alt_seamus]

The owl with my OWL results had to find me on a fishing trip with Mr Rosier. We went to Folkestone and went out sailing and fishing. I'd never been on boats much before, it was interesting. Anyway the owl did find me, even as far out as we were, and we were both reasonably pleased with my marks. Two O's, three E's, and the only exam I failed was Divination.

I didn't have my journal with me on the trip, but we're back! Padma you can come over anytime, if you'd like.

Well, that doesn't make any sense. That he would turn traitor now, instead of years ago.

Besides, it's Our Lord's choice how people are best able to serve Him, isn't it? And if serving Him means fighting in games or punishing muggles or...or sacrificing little boys or someone's mother, well. Who are we to say that He's wrong? Aren't we supposed to trust and believe that it's for some reason?

We're supposed to go through hardship, you know? That's how one becomes a better person. And if the hardship is something that costs a life in this life, then we'll come back with a better life next time.

Yeah

My mum didn't die for nothing, though, it wasn't for sport. There was a reason.

I hope my mum comes back as something nice.

And you're right. Someone who didn't know, who didn't understand, might think my mother's death was for no reason. Just out of -- blood lust, out of revenge, something like that.

But there was a purpose to it, a larger purpose.

We're not always going to know. That's what loyalty is all about, I guess, that sort of trust that Our Lord's actions have a purpose even if we don't always know what.

Yes, and you're right that she did die to serve a higher goal. For something important.

And yes, that's it, exactly. You can't just be loyal when it's easy. You have to know which loyalties are more important, you know, so that when you have to choose, you can choose the biggest, most important thing to be loyal to.

Anyway. It's late. If I'm coming over tomorrow we should both get some sleep.
