Private message to Padma Patil

[alt_seamus]

Well, I left. I mean, I left New London, I left our side -- what was left of it -- I left Bellatrix Lestrange and Antonin Dolohov (even though he turned out to be alive after all) and the Council.

Jason Montague convinced me. Not to go to the Order -- he didn't tell me where we were going, just that he was going to keep me safe.

He'd apparently been working for them for months.

The Death Eaters want to get out -- they're trapped by the wards, the way Mr Rosier everyone else was. Lana Sandoval suggested killing me to break out of the wards. Which might have worked, I guess, because of the way the Irish ward was made. They asked if I was willing, so of course I said I was, because -- you know, what else was I going to say? After that was when Jason asked me to promise to come with him to safety. I thought, I don't know. I guess on some level I thought he probably meant the Order, but I couldn't let myself think about it. I just kept my head down until he said it was time.

So now I'm at Hogwarts. We were in a safehouse, Jason's safehouse. But it's very small, and his parents were there as well. And Freddie -- Alfred -- he wouldn't come. He wanted to stay behind. And that didn't end well for him. Jason wanted to get away from his parents for a bit so here we are. It's -- I don't know. I don't like being here. Too many people hate me I don't belong here. I don't really belong anywhere.
