Locked to the ladies of the Coven
For those that know, and now those who do not, I am as of today a single witch. I'm sure those of you who were present for the howler my dear mother sent were wondering what the fuss was about.
My marriage to Octavius Rabins has been annulled, declared Null and Void, no longer in existence, as if it never happened.
Do not weep for me ladies, it is, in the end a most fortuitous event.
I have been well compensated....so I would ask you to raise a glass to Octavius along with his (and my) benefactor Ricard Ptolemy.
I'm sure this deserves a night out for drinks in the near future.
PRIVATE
On a quite not so sad note the hell-harpy who whelped me has now disowned me.
Good riddance.
A howler, she sent me a howler.
The bitch.
Luckily it came when the great hall was not completely full. Only a few of the staff were present at the time and about half as many students as would normally be present due to OWLS.
She is "appalled that our family's name would be so besmirched! That a pureblood witch of such an ancient linage would allow her name to be..." blah, blah, blah...."I will now ask for the return of our family runes that I so blindly placed in your trust so long...." more blah, blah, blah "your sisters and I will never live down the shame. Do you ever think of anyone but yourself? How will I hold..." bitch, bitch, moan, moan.
It took every ounce of Slytherin pride in my blood to sit there and finish my lunch. It took even more to calmly walk from the hall knowing every fecking eye was on me. I wanted to bolt from there, grab my broom and fly away.
My colleges have been kind.
Father said to pay her no mind, as he is head of our family and has no intention of disowning me. He is a dear.
Father took care of all the details. I have been deeded a lovely cottage on the Isle of Mann along with a nicely stocked vault at Gringotts.
I am glad that Irma suggested I get my own legal advice....not that I think Octavius was trying take me, but Father and his Solicitor were able to structure the agreement in such a way that I am greatly benefited.
Its been a busy week.
I had lunch with Sybill. I know, I know...I guess hell did freeze because on Thursday, or was it Friday I ascended the tower steps.
The "official" reason for my visit was passing The Book onto Sybill, but truly I wanted to apologize my remarks so many weeks ago. She was in such a good mood that I must say it did rub off on me and luch was quite enjoyable.
I found myself asking for a collaboration of sorts. I have received many troubling castings of late and thought to check with her on what she has "seen" lately.
I could sense there is something, but Sybill wanted to wait for a later date to discuss it.
Lucky Irma has a beau.
She is so happy and I am happy for her. She popped by before her dinner with Mr. Burgess to do a quick hair charm and consult on the color of her robe. I think the darker blue make her skin and hair look lovely. Later she came by to talk about her evening.
I guess one would think with my marriage ending I would feel a bit of sadness to see others beginning a romance, but truly it gives me hope that I may still have a chance as the years go by. Who knows, maybe I will have my own "Wicked Wizard" to make me swoon with passion.
On Saturday I apperated to the Isle of Mann to look over the cottage. It is lovely.
I am in love with it.
It is perfect.
It is mine.
Mine alone. How wonderful....
I cannot wait to spend time there.
Maybe next Friday and Saturday I'll take Conbec with me to spend the night and explore.
later
Ahhhhh....I have had an epiphany.
I am beholden to no one, it does not matter what my mother, or father, or Dumbledore, the Governors, the Ministry, Minerva, Snape....anyone thinks or says.
I can do as I please when I please.
I have the means to support myself and never, ever need look to another for my upkeep. I have NO master.
I am dependant on no one.
I am now, my own mistress.
Blessed freedom...
