Private to Lily
I'm sorry about yesterday. I was trying to help. I just I feel rotten and I'm sorry. Do be careful.

Private to Self
Why can I never say the right thing? I hate it. But I can't just keep thinking about this all day. She's a grown witch, so she'll be fine. I'm going to start this project. I may as well do something right.

I hate inferii.

I always have. When I was a little girl the boggart in an old trunk of ours appeared as an inferius and it was awful. They are unsettling and wrong and wrong and they are just wrongEven so, tonight proved that they are manageable. I'm no longer afraid of them, just a tad disgusted, as any right-thinking person should be ( Read more... )

I am so so tired.

Work is as physically and emotionally exhausting as ever, and on top of that? The rotating shifts mean I get very few waking hours to spend with Frank each day. It's worth it: the work must be done.

It looks like I'll be at Hogwarts for a bit.

This is unbelievable. At least no one was hurt this time-- and if I can do anything about it, they won't be.

To all my guests-- I am so sorry. I wanted so badly to give you all a happy day free of worry, and instead you were all endangered. I can't apologize enough for this. Thank you, though, for being there at all, at least for the ceremony, and sharing that exciting moment with us ( Read more... )

I just got back from meeting with a florist, and I'm really in over my head. I thought I was prepared, knowing exactly what flowers I wanted and everything, but then she pulled out this mad list of all sorts of extra little charmed decorations and delicate touches that she claims make the event. Do I want a Blossoming Florifytra? Or an aisle ( Read more... )
