Padfoot?

Today's been rather nice, all things considered. Someone left a pumpkin pasty on my nightstand, which was lovely to wake up to (even if it was a little odd: I'd been dreaming about Mum trying to bake some sort of gigantic pie, and then when I tried to cut it, Prongs and a couple of professors were inside, but it smelled delicious), and after that ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's absurd how one's parents still think one remains their baby well after one's seventeenth birthday.

Could we stop them if we knew what it was?

Would these questions stop chasing one another around my head if that was so?

Will I come home someday see that Dark Mark above it?

It is very possible Sirius comes to visit just to have more of mum's cookies. He's lounging on my bed, and snacking on them even now. I think he's gaining weight, actually. Despite that, he has a horribly good sense of balance and utterly fails at falling down when on the rollerskates, unlike I. It really hurts less to fall than one would think ( Read more... )

Andromeda, Ted, Congratulations On The New Member Of Your Family.

Sirius, Happy Birthday. I Have Something To Tell You.
