I spent a few hours for the last three days digging through the Rivili Mansion, since I could not go shopping without a body guard.  And it is my body guard I need to shop for.  I finally found the right thing.   It was his great grandfather Rivilli's and hidden in a heavily jinxed trunk in one of the dark rooms in the basement.   I was careful.  I ( Read more... )

The dream with Bella has been repeated twice so far.  Morgana wants to make sure I do not forget it.  I am almost afraid to go to sleep, yet my body bids me rest-more so than usual.  I realize Bella might win this one.  I will do everything in my power to prevent her success, but she has a chance of succeeding.  I need to spend more time with my ( Read more... )

I want to buy a present for Andromeda . . . something classic I think. Nina Poliakoff should have just what I need. I Apparate to Diagon Alley and walk to their shoppe. The bell rings as I push through the door.

There seems to be only a few witches looking at the glass cases. I don't see Nina in the front, but I do recognize the other young ( Read more... )

Wednesday Morning . . .

I cannot imagine why Draco would send me a letter asking for an appointment.  He is my son.  I love him.  Of course I will always try to make time for him.  He does not need an appointment.  He is already engaged to Pansy.  I wonder what he wants?  Perhaps he wants to tell me he is moving the wedding up?  I hope not.  Or ( Read more... )

He makes me so angry. He twists me and tells me to be open and controls me all at the same time. Our marriage has been one emotional battle for control after another--and I am the one who always gives in. I go and grab my broom, taking a long flight over the forested area near the manor. I finally stop in what used to be a place for dark ( Read more... )

I visited Andi today and we played together for three hours.  Her Muggleborn husband and Nymph were both gone. It was so good to just be sisters again.  I only wish I did not have to keep it quiet.

He did not return home.  I hope he will.  I hope I have a chance to help him.

This morning I took two house elves and withdrew 10,000 Galleons from Gringott's.  I put the Galleons in the basement.  If he does come home,  he will not have to ask me for gold.  (Yes,  I Apparated and it went fine, foolish healers.)

I had a breakthrough with the potion. ( Read more... )

‘Rennervate’, “Mrs. Malfoy, I’m Ernie MacMillan. I’m the healer who brought you to St. Mungo’s from your manor. I need to know how many fingers you see.”

I try to open my eyes, but the light is too bright.  I raise my hand to hold it up over my eyes, but a short stabbing pain in my ribs stops me.  Where am I?  I squint at the fingers held in ( Read more... )

With Lucera in her room, I cannot practice my violin.  Unfortunately, she's not welcome in Madrid right now.  But I have been working on the antidote to the potion she gave Lucius thirty years ago.  Perhaps one day I can prove it's safe to give Lucius, and I can undo the potion's side affects.  The study is intense as are my experiments, but I have ( Read more... )

It has been a week since I started brewing this batch of Polyjuice potion--three weeks to go before it is ready. The cauldron is nicely situated at the back of my dressing room--neither Lucera nor Draco bother with my closet, and the house elves know to keep quiet. Seriously,  I do not know why after my visit with Lucius last week I felt the need ( Read more... )
