Property of Bertha Jorkins

Nice to see how so few people care that, for the second time, a family has been attacked by dark creatures.

Maybe if it happened to the Minister, or one of his cabinet, people might actually pay attention.

I hate being stuck at Mum and Dad's. I still don't know if it's safe to stay at my flat again.

At least I'll get to see Matthew tomorrow for his birthday party.
What a shame Cathy and Edith will probably be there.

Just the way I want to spend my Saturday, visiting my parents.

Damn early wake-up call. That's just not something that should happen on the weekend.

Makes you wonder, if the Quibbler only prints nonsense, why was the editor attacked by the Dark Army last night?

[Charity]

I just got scolded by Narcissa Malfoy.

What the hell?

Not that you can see it. That part was private.

[Charity]

See? We didn't have to be the ones to ask the question.
It really is a ridiculous name.

Loved your last article, by the way.

I may die of shock. The latest edition of the Quibbler (or at least parts of it) actually made sense.
And did you try that color change thing at the end?
Of course, I missed the note at the bottom--
Wicked brilliant.

Oh, and work is busy as hell. Someone else in the office has been misfiling paperwork, and they're making me fix it.
Like I'm the only one who screws up around here, honestly...

[Private to Friends]

Malfoy scares the hell out of me, sometimes.

I should learn to shut my trap, I really should--

Git still didn't deny what they wrote in the papers, though.


[Private to Charity]

When are you moving in, again?
Need to clean the flat--

I hate missing out on the good stuff. What a scoop that was.


And in other news... I saw the captains of two rival quidditch teams leaving the Leaky Cauldron together. They made quite a cute couple. And you may as well guess who I'm referring to. It's too delightful to keep that bit of information to myself.

Anyone have plans for the solstice? It's only a week off.

[Warded to Friends]

It's that time of year! I've got a table reserved at the Leaky Cauldron for Thursday night, and I expect to see it filled. I won't demand presents, only good company.

Dear gods, I can't believe I'm going to be 23 already...

I spoke with someone at the Apparition Test Center. They can see you next Tuesday in the afternoon to discuss obtaining a license.

Two more days!

Can you believe today's Prophet?

I mean, I'm all for ending this sodding war, and can even understand why they're doing inquiries. They're going to eliminate my job, with my luck. But I'd like to know what the hell these new pieces of legislation are.

Marriage? And transportation regulations? What the bloody hell?

It's been far too quiet at the Ministry lately. Like every second, we're waiting for Death Eaters to appear and kill us all.
Maybe not quite that dramatic... but the air has changed since Friday.

Mum insisted on having me over for Sunday dinner, along with my oh so wonderful sisters and Matthew. It's the first time we've all been together since I left Hogwarts, really.
It was odd, to say the least.
Mum's really worried for all of us.

I just can't wait until they get this whole mess settled and I can go back to work the way it used to be. The tense silence is absolutely dreadful.

All these disappearances and deaths... it's really quite depressing.

Oh my god, I swear I ran into Ludo Bagman in Diagon Alley the other day!
I could be wrong, but I'm sure it was him.
He was having the same thing I usually get at the ice cream parlour!

All in all, a fair bit more exciting than catching Fiona snogging an older man in the lift on Tuesday.
I'm sure he was some Ministry official or other.

Anything happening this weekend, does anyone know?
