Harry James Potter

Private
Well, that was a bloody awful birthday.

Oh, mum tried to make it special, but I wish she hadn't. I could see her getting all upset, and it was hard to pretend I was enjoying myself when I was really thinking about everyone back home. In October it will be a year. A whole year in this place, and they must all think I'm dead now, no question. And the dreams seemed to have slackened off, from what people are saying, so does that mean my world is getting further away? I wish I knew more. I need to get Aberforth alone to talk to him, but he's avoiding me like the bloody plague. I so miss Hermione. First chance I get I'm raiding the Hogwarts library, if its even still there.

Ginny
You all right? How's freedom suiting you? How's Ron? I saw a bit of him when I was there for a meeting. He didn't even look at me, was pretty weird. Shame I missed you. That place is full of people! How does anyone sleep? You're welcome to visit here if you like, though we're pretty full up, too. I'm trying to figure out a way to get home. You'd tell me if you dreamed anything important, right?

Dad, Sirius, Remus
Hope everyone's okay. I know everyone's busy, but we shouldn't lose track of each other. Is there any news of Regulus? Or Bellatrix?

Sirius
Do you suppose you could ask Regulus if he thinks he could get Voldemort to come to Grimmauld Place, alone? Or as close to alone as we can get. I don't see the point in holding off any longer.

Ginny
Thanks again for the other night. I hope I didn't annoy Neville too much. Ron is my best friend so I'm pretty good at spotting the signs.

Outsiders who are in on the Horcruxes
So... Horcrux killing party, tonight? There's no reason to put it off any longer.


Private
Seeing Ginny was good, but it's made me sick as hell. Homesick, that is. Worse than ever. I seriously have to get home, but I can't exactly expect anyone to help me with it until we've taken care of the Voldemort situation.

Story of my life. Literally.

So current plan: find and destroy Horcruxes, kill Voldemort again, figure out how to get home.

Private to Mum, Dad, Remus, Sirius, the Longbottoms and Vera

Talked to Mum and Dad, and it looks like, unless anyone has any better ideas, we're going to the Chamber tomorrow night. I reckon, and Dad agrees with me, that since there's no way of telling how long I'm going to be here to help, the sooner the better. We're going through the forest, since that seems to have worked so far, and it's probably the best way to avoid getting anyone inside the castle into trouble.

Vera, I'll need you to come inside with me, since you're the best one to know how to talk us out of any sticky situations. Everyone else will be stationed at points along the way to cover the retreat. If all goes well we'll be two more Horcruxes down by Monday.

Meet you all on the road to Hogsmeade at midnight.

Private
I've been selfish. Spending time with Mum and Dad when people are suffering everywhere. Hermione would be slapping me about now if she was here. It's time to do something.

James/Lily/Remus/Sirius/Vera
If we're not getting any further with capturing some Dementors (gulp) I say we go ahead with the Hogwarts plan. And soon.

Remus and Sirius
So you guys ran out pretty quickly the other day. Something up?

Mum Lily
Great to see you the other day. Hope you're all right. Any word from James?

Ron
Hi Ron. You don't know me, but I just wanted to make sure you were all right. Hermione too. And Ginny. Just let me know, yeah?

Private
Vera gave me this journal. Its all a bit Tom Riddlish, but she promised it's safe, as long as I use the right privacy charms. I've read enough to know that some people here are dreaming about my world. But I'm not dreaming at all, or if I am I don't remember. I wish I could dream about home, especially since the dreams seem to be real.

Poor Gin. I hope she's not too worried. Though I can't even think what I would feel like if she suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Tell him to run farther
