It looks like we're going to have a new life to celebrate! I know it's insa--- A blessed event, isn't it? I am sure they are going to be wonderful parents, but, in the meantime, Cissa and I intend to throw them the best wedding in the world. Any ideas?

[hexed to the 30+ crowd and warded against Ministry supporters]

I still don't believe Ernest is gone. I suppose it's to be expected since, even a year later, I still half expect Angus to walk through the door.

Teddy and Draco are too worried about me. It's not their place, little darlings. I'm fine. I miss Angus, of course I do, but I also feel a sense of independence I haven't in a very long time. It's ironic giving the papers I am forced to carry, but in a way, that just makes me more determined to succeed. I will prove my son and I have every right to exist so help me.

[hexed to remus and severus]

My son is no longer seeing Hannah Abbott? Does this have to do with the last weeks' events? How is he? What do I need to do? This can't continue.

Darling, can you fill me in about your cousin?

It's funny how the bitterest months are right before spring. Perhaps what they say is true --- hitting rock bottom is the only way to go up.

[hexed against all ministry supporters as well as current students]

All I want to do is rush into Hogwarts and make sure my baby's alright. I know it would be terribly embarrassing so I'm not yet but he was so happy a few days ago! I want him to enjoy his last few months at Hogwarts before the Ministry hands him the parchment branding him for life. I also sort of want to hex the teenagers who clearly think my nephew doesn't know the right end of a wand. As miserable as Teddy might feel, I'm glad they still stick together after all these years.

So, parents, tell me how you don't swoop in and try to fix everything? I want to kiss the boo boos.

I think I'm going to take a job. Now that my baby Teddy's all grown up, he doesn't need me fawning all over him and I could use some time out of the house. I do have a question about how to go about doing so, however. See, I've never really worked outside the house before. Is anyone willing to help me a bit with writing up my qualifications and going about hunting?

[private to self]

Angus' will was generous, but we already spent so much of it in settling the estate after his death that I'm afraid we won't be able to afford the taxes for long. I don't want to worry Teddy over it. His trust should get him through a few years at least. He doesn't need to fret over helping me.

[tear splotches]

Angus, darling, I wish you were here. So much. I can't ----

[hexed to adults]

Apparently I missed the page in the parenting book where it noted controlling my child's every action is necessary. It's becoming rampant, don't you say? Weren't the Europeans suppose to be less 'hands-on'? I always heard that rumour when visiting the States. From the way several of my son's mates' parents are acting, I hardly find this a true statement.

Angus is rolling in his grave I'm sure.

[hexed to teddy]

I love you, my precious. How are things?

[hexed only to adults. 18+]

I'm not exactly sure what this 'town meeting' consists of, but you can bet I'll be there. Apparently we're all getting invitations soon. There's only been rumblings of the idea, but one of the nicer Aurors informed me I might wish to attend.

If they propose stricter laws for my kind? I will fight it Salazar help me.

[hexed to pansy]

Sweetheart, are you feeling better? I was so worried!

Well, this takes me back! Writing in a diary that is. I recall being a little girl at Hogwarts giggling into the night with the other girls as we read over our entries. All about who loved who and who had kissed who at the ball...oh, memories, indeed. I still have those old diaries. I plan on giving them to Teddy and Draco to read over at some point. Then my grandchildren. I do love keeping history alive, don't all of you?

Oh, the presents were brilliant! I didn't expect so many and I'm so grateful for each one. My birthday was nice. Narcissa and Lucius had me over for dinner and we shared cake and wine. It was lovely. Of course, I kept thinking about Angus, but---

How is everyone out there? It's so funny to think everyone can pop open some parchment and read this silly thing!
