I'm back home for the time being. As much as possible while I can, I'm sticking around the flat with Fabian and Kingsley. It's not so bad while they're at work, not like it used to be when I was alone, at least I can get some research for my lesson plans done. I've gone on a few missions since finding out Benjy was killed, but I'm still feeling a little hollow about it all.
I still can't believe my mate's gone. What am I going to do without him?
For now I'm just clinging to Kingsley when he gets home, trying to make the summer last as long as possible before I have to live in Scotland. I can't waste a minute of this. I just can't.
I'm buying a few bottles of wine and a cheese platter. You're all welcome to come to hang out at the flat for a little while tonight. BYOB, 'course.
Anyone who gets too drunk to apparate or floo home gets to sleep with Fabian in his bed.

I'm out buying a few books in Diagon Alley. I should be home in a few hours, and I'll be bringing home dinner for all of us. I invited our friends over for a little shindig. Nothing fancy, just a small get together.
Did I mention that I love you? Because I do. Madly.
Only a couple of weeks before school starts again. I think I'm gonna need some new robes.
