Hadrian's gone again. Mum told Arianwen he's staying with friends. I don't know if that's true. It probably is, he got in such trouble for going to Mrs Scalara's last time. Honestly though, from what he said about me and Mum, I guess it doesn't really matter, he's going to go away and stay away, where ever he can, as much as he can. Like Daddy, but he doesn't even care at all and I think Daddy does. A bit.
I went to Mrs Scalara's house with Mummy because Bella Zabini and her father were there and ill. I guess something big must have happened to get them away from Mrs Zabini. I should ask Daddy about it, when he's allowed to tell he can tell good stories. Poor Mummy, for once I really did feel like the calm one, like I should be. She was so angry. Mrs Scalara is older and more dignified than I thought, I haven't seen her up close before. But I didn't want to talk to her because Mum has been so angry about Daddy (and Susie and Hadrian) and also, I don't know what to say to her. She's more part of my family than I am and yet I don't know her. And I didn't see my half-sister, but apparently she beats Hadrian at cards, so she can't be all bad. She's probably more Slytherin than Susie and Hadrian combined though!
Oh! And Cassie and I bought a present for Mummy. A cuddling blanket!! Next time we go shopping I won't even have enough money for a biscuit with my tea, but it will be worth it if she likes it.
