I would just like to convey how crushed I am due to my own house's refusal to believe my eye witness testimony. The only people who believe me are the Gryffindors. My own house thinks I'm under the Imperius Curse, or worse, actually a Death Eater.

I was so absent from the Hogsmeade trip because I've been undertaking my internship with the Aurors all this week. That is why I was there, and I helped out in the fight.

When I saw opaleyes unmasked after she was captured, I realised that she was one of the Death Eaters I had been duelling. I cannot convey how devastated I was by this.

As she was lead away, Nikki was screaming that she was innocent, and justice would out. But I can't deny what I saw in her eyes. She was working with them. She was trying to take down Aurors. She tried to take me down.

My own Head Girl. My fellow leader. My friend.

She was heading for the Floo network. I can only assume that it was to either escape, or to get to Hogwarts.

I then spent the rest of the day helping with the ensuing chaos, and this is why I couldn't come forward earlier. I come home to find my house cold, and untrusting of me.

I fear for my school.

If you don't believe me, then fine, the truth will out. But stay strong, Hogwarts. These are fearful times, and people who are afraid do stupid things. I hope you will choose the light.

Constant vigilance.

Peace,
Rotae
