Warded to Alice Longbottom & Peter Pettigrew:
Alice, I know that you've said you were able to go as of Tuesday and Wednesday. I can put in for Tuesday through Friday myself, no problem. Peter, would you be able to make it Tuesday until whenever we could get back? I don't mean to rush you, but with everyone else gone this weekend, it's making me a little antsy to get moving.

Warded to Alice Longbottom & Peter Pettigrew:
It looks like we're all together on Cloud Castle. Alice, I know that your schedule is going to be the more difficult to manage, but when will you be able to break away? And you, Peter?
I have to admit that I don't know the first thing about this place. Well, I've heard the stories, of course, but actually going is another thing. I have never heard of anyone - outside of books - who has actually been there, so I suspect we're going to have a bit of fun preparing for this.
I assume there's going to be some high level magic involved to get us there. Do we have any sort of recon on it? Should we ask Caoimhe and Remus if they have any other information?
(Also, as a tiny little side note, are any of your as excited about GOING as I am? I know the reason is an awful one, but CLOUD CASTLE!)
Warded to Caoimhe Sullivan:
I don't mean to bother you, Caoimhe, but I wondered if you had any research on Cloud Castle you wouldn't mind sharing? I know that you have a lot on your plate, and I hate to ask it at such a time, but I promise to make it up to you somehow if you could spare a few moments?

Warded Private:
I worry about Doc going back to the Ministry. He says that he's all right with it, but I remember just how miserable he was there. I know that Doc's reason for going back is a good one, but I can't understand how Albus Dumbledore could possibly ask someone to give up their livelihood and health. Dumbledore is a great man, so I feel terrible even thinking about questioning him and I can't very well question DOC for
Then again, maybe this is all just because I'm feeling useless, and I don't particularly have any way of becoming useful.
Warded to Caoimhe Sullivan:
I know that it's a terrible time for you, and I hope you'll forgive me for asking, but is there something I could be doing? I have so much spare time these days, and it won't pick up until after the new year. I just feel like there's more I could be doing to help. Especially since I'm not the best figh
Warded to Doc Dearborn:
I picked up the paperwork for you today so you could fill it out this weekend.

I've been praying for the Hales since Brianna was attacked. I cannot even imagine how terrible this is for them. My heart goes out to all whose lives she touched.
Warded to Iona Cornfoot:
You're going to John's party this evening, yes? Doc might have to work, and I don't
Warded to Doc Dearborn:
I think I might have gotten your costume finished. We'll have to do a fitting when I get home, and then I can finish the scarf. Will you be home at noon or so?
Also, are you off for John's party this evening?

Did you need any help with the baby's room this weekend?

Warded to the Order of the Phoenix:
Ravenclaw's diadem was at Hogwarts. Sirius found it, and Doc destroyed it with Fiendfyre. One down.

Warded to the Order of the Phoenix:
I've only just arrived home. Point me in a direction for something that needs to be done that doesn't have anyone assigned.
Warded Private:
I think it's worse knowing what's going on, to be honest. At least before, I could put it out of my mind, if only for an evening. Instead, I now know how every missing piece of affects the world.
I don't know how the rest of the Order has managed for as long as they have. They're all so much stronger than I'll ever be, and that's to be commended, but instead, they're forced to hide their identities from everyone -- even loved ones, law enforcement (when they're really on their side). I wish they knew how much everyone would appreciate them if they only knew that ordinary citizens are fighting as hard as they are for them. Maybe it would help everyone realise they can make a difference.

I have so many books I want to get caught up on, and I really wish there was a device for the telly that would record programmes for me. I've missed the last few episodes of Doctor Who. Is it just me or does the Doctor and Romana get younger and younger every incarnation? Next thing you know, the Doctor'll be younger than I am, and his companion will be a teenage shop girl from the city.
And now it's off to the grocers.
Warded Private:
Leaving work at noon every day gives me way too much time, and instead of going through cupboards and drawers, I've been going back through the journals for Order wards since Sturgis Podmore showed me one particular entry. It's a little mental to know there's this whole under-belly going on right under all of our noses. They write a lot about so much, and as much as I feel like I'm a part of it now, I can't deny that I'm bleeding terrified, and so very uncomfortable that Dedalus Diggle's run-in with me is one of the things that got him thrown out of the Order. I'm cringing at every single reply and feeling utterly awful for it. But then I have to ask myself: if he didn't get killed, would I feel bad about it?
I know that mum and Doc had this special sort of relationship, one that I never wanted to destroy after the divorce. I wonder if she had any suspicions about Doc's involvement with the Order of the Phoenix. I wonder if he ever told her about it.

Warded to Sarah Cornfoot:
Sarah, love, I just wanted to let you know that I'm free after noon today. I've amassed a fair amount of holiday time this year, which I think I remember telling you about. At any rate, for the next few weeks, I'm taking half-days and Fridays off.
What time should I come by today?

Weddings have got me thinking too much. I took today off since it's off season, and with the kids back at Hogwarts, there's not too much for me to do. Thank Merlin, I have two months of holiday pay. I thought this year I would take mum on a holiday. Maybe to Spain or China. She'd always wanted to see those places, but then I remembered that I can't. Kind of a slap in the face, and then I thought how many more people will be thinking the same thing?
Instead of planning a holiday, I went through her things. Old photographs and the like. I think was one of my favourites of mum. I snapped it before my weddi She was so happy then, and I like to think that she was always this way. But I know she wasn't.
( Margaret Burbage )
I found one of the only photographs of my mum and dad together, on their way to their honeymoon. Mum looks so young. Dad never even knew I was born

And I've still got boxes left to go.
