Auror training was the most intensive thing I had ever done.
At least it's prepared me well for life outside the walls of the Ministry. Mostly, anyway. At times. I did not need to see what I saw tonight. Ever.
I'm going to try and get some sleep. I have to be awake and doing something in roughly four hours.
I really felt like a rookie tonight. I know I am one, but I just didn't know what to do when I saw those Muggles. We're not even sure that it was Death Eaters, but any seemingly unexplainable mass Muggle death? We can't take the chance that it wasn't. And those poor children-
I'm really really glad I went to that concert last month with Igraine and Fiona. It's nice to know there's still a little bit of the world that's civilised. And of course the music was brilliant. It made me miss how much I like playing and I feel so guilty that I haven't picked up my guitar in Merlin knows how long. Note to self: the next time I'm home, I'm going to play. I hope I haven't forgotten that much.
Something else I realised the other day after squeezing in a little time to see Solon for dinner: in a little under three months, he and I will have been together for four years. Four years. And one year since we People can meet for the first time, date, get married, maybe have a kid and get divorced in that same amount of time. Chris and Celeste were at, what, five when they That's just- I don't know if anyone expected it to last that long because. Well. We're ...different from each other. It's not difficult to see. But different is good. I love him and it feels right and I don't care what anyone else thinks of it.
