I hate that I had to wait two days after the attack before putting wards up around the house. But what could I have done? Totally ignored my father? I know how much it pains him to know that the Wizarding world has been in turmoil and that I insist on being a part of it. But to let him know that I put us back on the grid would have been too much for him to handle. Then add to that the fact that there was a major attack this week reminiscent of those at the beginning of the war. I honestly feel the man would reel back into depression if he were to find out about all of this.
I just hope I put strong enough wards on the house. I should probably pick up a book and refresh my memory just to be on the safe side.
Colin,
It was nice to see you the other day and I feel so bad for having to run like that. Knowing you come from a Muggle background I'm sure you understand the nevousness that comes from non-magical members of your family. Perhaps we can make plans to get together this week.
