I don't think that the house has ever been so full before.
Woke up late this morning. Well you know late for a farm so it was more like when I always wake up but I was confused it wasn't dark out and dad wasn't yelling at me and the house was so quiet. It's bad when our house is quiet so I went downstairs in wellies and everything and mum da and Albert are just sitting there scowling at the wireless and I didn't even find out really what actually happened until they relooped the story because everyone was hogging the Prophet and I couldn't find this damn thing anywhere until much later when Annie was climbing about and found it but I'm getting ahead of myself.
So you know it's just horrible, all of those poor blokes down at Azkaban, but that's not even mentioning at all. You know it's kind of surreal and then mum goes and announces that brother Joseph, Nan, and my niece Annie are going to be here posthaste because they're in the city and you can't trust the city even though it isn't actually London and that we have to fetch grandmum and grandda and it seemed so impossible but of course it's mum so we go and get into travelling clothes and everything.
So of course now we're waiting for grandmum and da because they're over the channel in Brussels doing whatnot and they haven't answered anything yet so we're all on pins and needles but Joe, Nan, and Annie are here and really it's kind of like how it used to be before Joe and Nan got the flat and Annie's always wonderful to have here but they were so scared when we just Apparated in and Annie was crying, the poor girl, but everyone's all set up now. It's so loud, I forgot how loud it is to have two families here. Of course Albert's at his home now, as auntie is just as bad as mum and wanted her chick under the roof, that's what the owl said.
I don't remember what it's like to not feel safe in your house but you can tell that mum da and Joe and Nan do and I hate the feeling, I really do, it's just horrible. What's even worse is the worrying, though, I mean I'm so glad that we have these things all of you, because at least all of us can write in these and everyone knows we're all safe, at least for right now, just thank God for these, really. But Angelina Leanne and Alicia don't, of course, they're so silly, so I'm waiting for their owls and I'm so scared but I mean they're not stupid enough to go and attack right after they get out, right? It's just, oh God, everybody stay safe.
Oh hell, Annie just knocked over my inkwell, mum's going to kill m--
