ORDER ONLY: Carrying on.

Harry Marvolo is in the library right now. He wanted to look up a lot of things. I helped him find books about the Lord Protector's rise to power, but he kept saying that they didn't make sense, and I wanted to tell him that he was right, but I'm not sure if he meant that they really didn't make sense or if he meant that he didn't understand them. Some of them were written for adults and all. So now he's sitting across the table from me and Madam Pince told me that I should make sure that he has anything he needs. Only he seems not to need much.

Someone left out an advanced Charms textbook and I've been reading it instead of talking to Marvolo. I wonder if the Protean Charm is what makes the Dark Mark go? It seems like a useful thing to know how to cast. I think that the seventh-years are doing it maybe. It mustn't be what makes the Dark Mark go, then, because they wouldn't teach students that, would they?
