Dear Tom, the stupid diary,

I ran. I did. I saw my mum and dad at the station. They came early. I had to hide and people gave me funny looks. Brilliant. Just what I needed. My parents waited patiently. When they had been waiting for an hour mum told dad that they should just send an owl Professor McGonaggal. Dad said they should just use the floo to go right away, but mum said it would be rude if I had just missed the train or decided to stay for the holidays without telling them. Dad hesitated, but agreed. Then they left. But guess what? Albus is back. I heard dad say something about me being missing right after Albus was found. I didn't know if both Scorpius and Albus were found, but I'm glad Albus was. But the reason I left is so I'd be away from the world I hated... Scorpius might be back... I should go home but then I'd be in trouble. It's a much more freedom-guaranteed plan. But... Never mind. Positive thinking!
