why hello there!

[rollingmeadowes]

I think it's time to make a general announcement, since all of our close friends and family have been properly informed of The Big News. Plus it's been a bit difficult to hide the secret, or it will be fairly soon

Congratulations! How far along are you?

[rollingmeadowes]

Thanks so much, Rita. Nearly a month and a half along!

How about you?

[juste_skeeter]

Oh my, that's terribly exciting! Do you mind my asking, um, how?

I'm almost six months, it's amazing.

[rollingmeadowes]

I told you, it was immaculate. My Annunciation!

Six months? WOW. Oh wow, Rita!

...can I ask you a question?

[tout_que_jaime]

Only one thing.

Catholicism wow!

I also...was meaning to have a word with you.

[rollingmeadowes]

It was pretty terrific.

A word? Have a few!

In private?

Um...I was having a word or two with Bellatrix. About general things, education and all that, and I thought I'd bring up something that I noticed, because it sort of worried me. Ish. Not much, just a passing thought.

Have you discussed, um, your daughter's education with Bellatrix at all?

Looks like you've read my mind, Professor.

I was actually just about to sit down with Bella and talk to her about it. Dia's a Muggle, and there aren't any Muggle schools around where we live now. Now's the age where she'd be entering some sort of primary school, isn't it?

I definitely can't home school the girl, it wouldn't be fair to her either. No children her own age and that. We might have to move.

[rollingmeadowes]

School, Bella. Muggle children her age need to go to school. We can't homeschool her, we don't have the knowledge for that. And she needs to meet kids her own age.

[rollingmeadowes]

We should really try to get her into daycare or something. She needs Muggle friends.

We're going to have to talk about this sooner or later. We did adopt a Muggle.

Congratulations dear! That is truly wonderful, news! Do tell Bella how happy I am for you both.
