May 16, 1997
There is no simple way of beginning a journal entry such as this one. I know everyone must be feeling overwhelmed by grief and I...I feel the same way. Professor Dumbledore was one of the kindest, most intelligent men I've had the privelage of speaking with and I...I simply can't understand how something like this could happen! It's all too much. Such a waste.
I've spent most of today and yesterday with Harry and Ron. I know everyone is extremely curious about what's happened, and I know speculating is the next best thing. Everyone's been really sensitive so far, but over the next few days, I would sincerely appreciate it if everyone left Harry to himself. He's been through enough as it is, and the last thing he needs is to be given the Spanish Inquisition by his peers. Everyone's been so good so far, I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just make sure to temper your curiousity with some respect for what he's seen. Perhaps come Monday, he'll be more willing to share what he's really happened. For the time being, I think we can all wait a little longer.
To Albus Dumbledore, 1920-1997: may you finally find the peace you so eagerly sought.
I'll see you all at the memorial service. Please let me know if there's anything I might do.
