The table, Molly thinks, is probably at least seventeen generations old. It was an old Prewett heriloom, kept in a relative's attic somewhere when none of Dad's siblings had a family large enough to warrant such a giant piece of furniture. Molly's does, though, with the advent of a third son, and so she's just finished polishing it after a round of ( Read more... )

Terence Boot's journal was, even within the halls of Hogwarts, a great source of connection. In great display of his social ineptitude, Terry had decided to hold written conversation to Mandy throughout the evening as they were bundled within the very same bed, but as his bare feet shuffled down cool steps and led him to the glimmering Gothic ( Read more... )

I've just placed all the children to bed, even Fred & George. I wonder if they'll make it through this night for once, as it's why I haven't been able to touch this thing in ages. They've managed to figure out the mechanics of crawling, & although it isn't far, they seem to take after both father & uncles. & when that happens, what is one to do?! I ( Read more... )

Today's objective: packing T.D. Boot's Bottomless Hogwarts-Standard Trunk, possibly in the hopes of filling it to the brim with more than just socks, undergarments, and the occasional pair of trousers. So far, I have achieved the following:

• twenty-three black socks, yellow-renforced heels
  
• seventeen variants of white socks

I know, I know -- you always have to have a pair of bad days before you get the good ones, right?? Makes you like them all the more better, blah blah, because you can't have sun without clouds and all that shite. I definitely believe it, really, but that does not make the following suck all the more:

• So, when I was scouting for a flat here, I went ( Read more... )

susan, thank you ever-so-much for giving me reason to get out of the house!! if your family gets an owl with any vegetables and a fair amount of ingredients for antidotes, know it was me. you may get a second owl with some sparrow shortbreads, but that's only if i'm able to get to it, since today is even busier than it usually is for me.
