Jenny from Ravenclaw this is Wanda from Hufflepuff.
Same thing on my street here in Revere, Massachusetts!
Candles and GOD BLESS AMERICA sung too! It was very
emotional to see how people band together! I hope NY
gets back on her feet soon and at the Pentagon. So
many need closure, sometimes you wish you could hug
their problems away, but in reality all you can do is
cry with them. I have done so all week! My husband,
Roy, is still in shock! When he is home, he is focused
on the updates. He was in Vietnam for 2 years. He has
seen to much horror over there. Now it is America! His
country he fought for, to hurt like this, is a lot of
pain he sees again. So many feel the same way. 
Well, Jenny from Ravenclaw, hope you and all of our
NYC HP family, keep venting to the group and hope
somone helps someone else with their pain.

Schnoogles,
Wanda the Witch of Revere, Massachusetts and Her Merry
Band of Muggles(not so merry this week)
