Dear Diary,

I'm scared. It feels good to finally write that down, to tell someone (even if you are just an inanimate object). Every time we sneak out for another night raid, every time we liberate another student from the clutches of the Carrows, every time we have a meeting I am terrified. If we're caught, it's all over for us. All they need is one to be caught and the rest will be caught faster than you can say Crucio. Some of them are so young, so weak, they can't know what they've got themselves in for. It's up to me to protect them, and that's so not fair, what if I can't? Of course I can't, I can't watch every single one of them every moment of the day.

I have to be brave, and be strong for the others, I can't fall apart. I'm their leader, like it or not, and they rely on me.

I guess they think some of Harry rubbed off on me when we were together, they sure treat my like his second. Though, they definitely seem to think he is in contact with me. I let them believe it, it's important to keep their spirits up, but who is going to keep my spirits up? I haven't spoken to him since the wedding. I'm scared for him, I don't even know if he's still alive or if he's hurt, what he's doing, if my brother and Hermione are still with him, I worry so much I can't sleep, I can't think straight. As long as no one finds out, it will be okay.

I just wish he was here, I can't do this alone. Luna and Neville are great, they really are, but I just wish he was here. I miss him.

Ginny.
