9 a.m.: Woke early. Showered, got dressed. Toast for breakfast. Read the paper and marveled at Rita Skeeter’s column. Thought about how the wizarding world will always need gossip, no matter how meaningless.
12 p.m.: Received owl from Hermione. Ron has proposed. No indication of response or apology. Stared at the wall for the rest of the hour.
1 p.m.: Went shopping. Passed a florist and tried not to think of Valentine’s Day during fifth year.
3 p.m.: Returned to the flat empty handed. Opened the cabinets to make lunch and remembered original intent to buy food.
3:30 p.m.: Went shopping again. Bought more bread for toast.
4 p.m.: Returned to flat. Had more toast.
5 p.m.: Cleaned flat again. Realization settled in while dusting shelves.
5:30 p.m.: Vomited.
6:00 p.m.: Despite daylight quickly fading, went out to practice hitting bludgers against an old tree. Thought rage might help expanding Quidditch horizons.
7 p.m.: Stopped bludger practice when tree splintered in half. Arms sore, eyes tired, throat raw.
8 p.m.: Scribbled messages on parchment, each one balled up and thrown against the wall. Finally settled on “Don’t say yes.”
9 p.m.: Went to bed. Tossed and turned. Got up and had three mugs of firewhiskey and two pieces of toast.
10 p.m.: Returned to bed. Promptly fell asleep.
12 a.m.: Awoke to an owl scratching at the window. Hermione’s response: “Too late.”
1 a.m.: Three more mugs of firewhiskey. Fell asleep with head on table.
2 a.m.: Awoke and stumbled to bed. Slept dreamlessly. Nothing left to dream about anyway.
