Two Little Girls-Gone

[alt_dean]

A few days ago, Padma made a comment about a couple a girls disappearing that may have looked like Pansy.
I don't know if anyone saw yesterday's Prophet, but two little girls were found dead. Their bodies were badly mangled. Who could be so mean to children?

It's dead awful, isn't it? I didn't see the Prophet, but when I came into the common room all the girls were talking about it. I guess it'd be especially bad to think about if you were a girl. But, yeah.

I know. It's really awful.

I heard from my Gran, and she says she's keeping my sister Evelyn real close to home. Well she was anyway because of the sickness. I reckon Evelyn's feeling so pent up she's ready to scream, but I don't blame my Gran for being careful.

If Ginny were home, Mum would be doing the same thing. Maybe for all of us, actually. I hope this has all blown over by the time we get home for summer, because I'm telling you, if we're all locked up in the house, we'd kill each other in a day or two. Can you imagine? All of us inside at my house? The twins'd blow us up! Or Mum's head would explode. Probably both.

Ron,

You might want to inquire if Pansy is fine, especially since the talk hasn't died down about how much those girls looked like her.

[alt_ron]

She's about as upset as you'd think. It's horrible, y'know.

[alt_padma]

Yeah, it's just scary. I mean, before this, I've never heard of kids going missing and turning up dead like that, later. I mean, unless muggles were involved.

And we don't even know if those girls were the same ones, but that's an even scarier thought. Maybe someone's going on a serial killing spree, which would be really, really horrible, so I hope not.

I don't know how I made it all the way through Astronomy tonight! I know it's only been a week, but it feels like ages since I had such a long day.

I don't see why everyone keeps saying they look like Pansy. It's a common sort of a look, isn't it? Dark hair and pale skin, small stature, fringe in the eyes, and so on.
