Dear Merlin, if you have any mercy, spare me.

Where do I bloody start....

(1) Ive named the baby Olivia. I took her to St. Mungo's and got her spellchecked. Its been found that she's 11 months old now since her birthday is January 2.

(2) I immediately talked with my parents about this baby (She's still with me, yes, or at least w/ the maid right now). After much yelling and much crying (mostly from my father), my mother said that she would help me. Well goodness knows how much I would have been broken in two if she wasnt going to offer help! They were insistent of putting it up for adoption. Anyway, she actually started to get excited about being a grandmother and went around her Women's Club to tell the news.

(3) Which sparked a visit from the 3 women in my life I hadnt heard from since graduation. Blaise Zabini, Star Ruet-Parkinson, and Pansy Parkinson appeared on my doorstep. It was terribly awkward and we stood on my stoop for a good 2 minutes w/o saying a word to each other. Blaise finally asked to come in. Pansy went off first to say, "Our mothers told us of your news." Yeah, I didnt think she would have noticed it all by herself either with her nose so high up in the air like that. Star was at least a little more pleasant. "We've been told to stay away since you were trying to put the blame of the baby's existence on us." "Could you blame me?" I said to her. "YOu cant keep this baby Draco. She'll become emotionally retarded, blame you, and end up doing wizard pornography," Star stated. Of course I was inclined to give her a piece of my mind about that and she finally stormed back out the house saying she would wait for the rest of the girls to finish their business outside. Blaise said she was on vacation by herself in Greece and wasnt trying to contact anyone and though this was not the first she had heard the news, she said that she found she did not know what to say to me. That's a first. The girls were terribly uncomfortable being in my presence. If it was because I didnt ask them to sit down anywhere, they have another thing coming because I've grown to dislike unwanted guests. And before I could be given a barrage of questions starting with "How", "What", "Where", and "What if" I told them that I was busy and had to leave. At the same time, I was offended they didnt want to see Olivia.

(4) Theodore Nott came by the day before to ask how I was doing. I was touched. I told him he was the first lad to ever come around these parts to give me a look up. "That's when you know who your true friends are," he said. Isnt that just the truth. He tried to make our old group look good to me by saying they all just didnt know how to handle the news and are still in shock. More of a shock now since Ive decided to keep it. I told him it wasnt any of their business anyway and definitely more now since Ive decided to keep her. He wished me well and that he would see me at my mother's Christmas party.

(5) That's right, my parents are having the Christmas party this year. They were afraid at first. It was their turn. They were hoping the Baddocks would host it again this year but they will be doing New Year's because right now they are all on vacation in Australia. Do I dare bring my child to my parents' gala?

(6) Im pushing the adoption the day after Christmas. Tale, Im ready for the papers! I dont care what those bastards at your office have to say. Just tell me who to bribe!
