Returning to Hogwarts was a bit surreal. The rest of Winter break was enjoyable if you took out the part of Mr. Weasley returning from St. Mungos. He was welcomed by all in 12 Grimmauld Place. Though, they seemed to be going over the top about it. You would think that after seeing him mostly recovered in St. Mungos on Christmas, that his coming home would not be that surprising. I was wrong. There was essentially another celebration for him coming home. Maybe my point of view was biased. My parents and family have been healthy as far as I remember. The only major injury that any of my family has had to deal with was dental related. The feeling of the bracers I used to wear as a child came to focus. An involuntary shudder went through me at the thought. Though this shudder was nothing like the one caused by that book.
