alt_terrySometimes I've felt I'm likely to go mad from the loneliness.
The gorgon's gone back to the school so it's just the git now. He ignored me while she was here, and he ignored me for another week after she left because he was wrapped up in doing his mad notes about his experimental subjects. Then he started paying attention to me again. It's been awful. Not like he's been hurting me or anything. If anything he's been in a good mood (I have no idea why). But he wants me no further than a few feet away from him, and he's starting to watch me when I sleep. Sometimes he'll wake me up in the middle of the night, order me to do something pointless (like to move a stack of books from one corner over to another corner) and then he'll tell me to go back to sleep again. Which is all but impossible because he's still staring at me.
I hate that. I can't try to sneak in any studying or work on the animagus thing when he's practically breathing down my neck all the time.
At Hogwarts at least there were other people around every day, going about their business so I could see how normal people live. But here I only catch occasional glimpses of other people, disappearing around the corner just out of sight. Everyone scatters whenever the git's coming.
There's another boy about my age. I think I mentioned him before. He's a muggle, I think. He's blond, and even skinnier than me, looks half-starved, really. He's the one they call 'Dudders.' Mad sort of name. He's noticed me, too, and from the look I see in his eye, I think he wants to talk to me and he's trying to work up the nerve to do it.
Maybe he's lonely, too.
