I'm all right. Thanks for asking. Most people don't, you know.
It wasn't any trouble to be outside--but thanks for being willing to come later, when Pansy got back. I know Harry wanted time alone, too, so this way you both got to see him but didn't have to talk in front of each other, which was probably better for you, too.
But you're right, Harry does want to know more about what you know (about him, mostly), and he says he wasn't jealous but I think he was, really, a little bit, that you got to spend so much time with Sirius over things that weren't questions of life and death, you know, and that you don't have the same sorts of pressures he has, but then he doesn't know yet that you're muggleborn, like me and Terry. I wouldn't tell him that without your permission, either.
As far as Sirius and Hydra, I think he just doesn't want to underestimate Bellatrix Lestrange. He does tend to make snap judgements, though, especially about people, and then it's hard to make him change his mind. For the longest time he thought Pansy was just trying to draw him out so she could turn him in to Mr Malfoy. Things like that.
Do you really think Professor Dolohov would lie to you about whether you're good at his subject? I mean, I think he would lie if it helped him, somehow, but I just don't see why he'd bother, or what it would gain him to tell you something like that. I suppose it could just be a mind-game. Do you think he's amusing himself, then? I guess that's possible.
If you're not feeling better by tomorrow you ought to go see Matron for Pepper-Up Potion. (Sorry, I'm just used to telling Harry to look after himself better than he does, too.)
