I don't really feel like writing, but last night people kept whispering and looking at me and I know they want to ask, so I might as well tell.
I saw Dennis. His body, I mean. Professor Slughorn didn't want me to but I did. They told me he died in an instant, and nothing could have saved him. They don't know how he died yet, but Professor Slughorn said it probably wasn't anything to do with his magic. He said mudblood children have manifested magic for a long time without ever dying or killing anyone because of it. And then they all told me that Dennis probably didn't feel any pain.
He felt fear, though. I saw it. On his face, I mean. He was scared when he died. That probably counts as a kind of pain, doesn't it.
And I keep thinking about what they said was written on the wall by him and Ollivander. "Enemies will be found and fall." Whoever this Heir is, or thinks he is, I don't know how Dennis could be his enemy. He was a mudblood and his magic was going mad, yes, but he was completely loyal, and he would have gladly given away his magic to anyone if he had only been able to. I don't see what makes him more of an enemy than Carrow's mudblood, or Ollivander for that matter. He was just nine years old.
I wonder if they'll tell his parents, but then I don't even know if he has parents. Dennis didn't know if he had them, either.
