Thank you!!! Yes my access is limited, but mostly because I haven't any idea how to ask Harry for specific texts - I mean he lets me have anything he has, which is mostly Quidditch books and school books and some duelling books that look very dark to me, but fortunately he took absolutely every elective last year so at least I've got books for all of them.
I don't know if I'll be able to tell Terry about anything, but I'll try, I mean, he can't always see the journals. You're right that he's a better hand at runes than me and also he needs it more. Thank you about the Cruciatus curse - I've never been questioned under Legilimency but I don't want to be - but it was all right truly, some people said 'oh you're just being stoic' (which is a funny word isn't it? Where does it come from?) but I wasn't, it wasn't as bad as being humiliated is, is it? When I was really little, I mean a few years ago, I was punished by being humiliated mainly, and that was far worse because it wasn't ever done, but if someone puts the Cruciatus curse on you then even if it hurts you can't be embarrassed by it because if you bear it okay then other people respect you more for bearing it. I mean not people like the Dark Lord but maybe even Lucius Malfoy, if he ever thinks of Muggles, and definitely people like Harry and Draco, who it matters more about anyway.
In any case.
Thank you very much and if there's anything I should do, I mean, if there's anything I can do to deal with the curse - it isn't like I like it. It's just that it's better than some other things. So if there are exercises or something I can do to get better at resisting it please tell me.
