I guess all I can do is keep smiling.

My world is falling down around me and I don't know what to do. I can't stop this. It's tearing me apart and nobody's even noticed. I guess I'm a better liar then I thought. My mum won't let me tell my brother. She doesn't want him knowing the danger.
He told her he was doing it to make our family name known. To help our how poor we were. That this....other man, promised that our family would become prominent. That we would have much money and power. My mother of course didn't believe him and has taken the baby and herself to my grandmother's in Ireland after she found out about what he wanted from us.
How could my father do this to us? Not an affair that she thought, a Knight of some sort. At first I thought it was a romantic notion. My father a knight. But it's nothing like it sounds. He's a knight for something evil. Mother says he has this horrible tattoo on his arm. It's the most ugly thing ever. And he's promised my brother as a knight too once he graduates. My little brother...he can't know. All he'll do is worry. So my mother's put me on watch for him. I can't let him out of my sight. There's no way I will either. My mother said that she and him are in the most danger. Her because she's left my father for good. My brother well... my father will try and come and get him. Or worse. My Brother is too young to...I can't think about that. No I won't.
My mother doesn't want me to talk to Dumbledore about it either. She just wants it to stay low key so nobody will worry. She's not sure if we really are in danger. Maybe this will just all pass over. I hope that's how it happens. My loving father...gone now.
