First day of classes at the Ministry is over. And has been for a while, actually, but life doesn't like to make things easy for me ( Read more... )

I never understood why so few people took Muggle Studies as a subject. It would be rather fascinating for a wizard, wouldn't it? Hearing about things that are completely different to you.

Aeroplanes are actually very clever. It's machinery. Sort of like muggle magic. Things that they accomplished with brain power because they didn't have magical ability.

Clever, huh?

I'm certainly regretting it now, as we're learning practically the whole course on eight hours a day for eight weeks.

I still don't understand the use of the telly. I watched a bit with D- in France, and it was rather boring. Except for the porn, that was interesting..

Cell phones are rather useful, though. Why haven't we figured out something like that? Portable floos, or something? Would be handy, not having to run to the nearest fireplace to chat with someone.

God, if you're interested at all in aeroplanes, let my dad know. They're his secret passion in live. His life's goal is to figure out how they stay up there and what propels them. Once he's gotten that straightened out, he wants to sneak past mum and ride in one. I think he's mad, honestly.

I'm glad to hear things are working out. Can't wait till you come to the Burrow, I'm going mad with just mum to talk to.

It's something called aerodynamics and jet engines and it's all rather complicated. I'll have to share my notes with him.

I'd rather like to try flying in one. Daniel took one, you know, to America, and he made it alright, so I suppose they're safe enough. Flying across a whole ocean and all. I'd settle for just flying over England.

I'd invite you to come to the Manor and stay for a bit, but I'm afraid it would be rather dull for you. I'll be at class, then the rest of my time is spent pouring through all the shite we've gathered over the years and signing papers. I'd actually worry for your safety if you came, as some of the things are a mite dangerous, and I've already had to call over the Aurors three times.

Oh, thank Merlin about Muggle Studies. Please let me know if you have to do anything horrifying, like...well, I don't know. Just tell me.

I'm glad you're liking it, because I am horribly bored. I don't want to impose this on you, but I am.

I'll be sure to pass along any gross experiments we're forced to sit through.

I'm sorry you're bored, love. I wish I could come entertain you, but it's so fucking awful, trying to deal with all this mess. Actually, I wish it was safe enough for you to come here, I found a photo album of Mum's, with pictures of me and her, and I almost started crying, right there in front of the fucking Aurors that came to pick up that bloody collection of books Lucius had in the ground floor study. I can't wait to leave here.

Paris told me you have to take apart BATTERIES. What are they!? Do they move!?

Don't worry about me, I'll manage. And so will you. I'm so sorry, darling--I wish I could be there with you now so you wouldn't have to cry alone, or even in front of Aurors, I wish I could be there to cry with you. But as we both know, the manor is not the safest place in the world.

Paris is full of shite, you don't take apart batteries. They're... It's...

They're a bit complicated, yeah? You stick them in things to make them run. Muggle toys use them a lot. But you can't take them apart, because there's this acid stuff, and it'll burn you.

I don't know, I don't think I can do this. I haven't even looked in Mum's room. I can't bring myself to get rid of anything that belonged to her, you know? But what the fuck am I supposed to do with her wardrobe? Her shoes? I... Fuck, I can't even talk about them without wanting to go off to my room and cry over the whole mess.
