Well now, it does seem that the unpleasantness with the Ministry never blossomed into fruition. It really is quite appalling that our government can burst into private homes for a quick search, but I suppose these are the times we live in and good people must make sacrifices in order to keep living civilized lives ( Read more... )

It seems I’ll be throwing a party soon enough, a charity event for - oh, some such cause. A museum, I believe. Lucius says it’s good to get involved and I must agree. It does present a fantastic opportunity. The parlor’s been finished for nearly a week now and no one has been around to see it ( Read more... )

It’s been terribly quiet around the mansion lately. I do wish the elf wouldn’t sneak around so - do you know, I don’t think it trusts me. Just the other day I found it rifling through my jewelry. The elves at home never went through my things without permission - I think I will have to owl Mummy and have her send me one of our old ones ( Read more... )

Do you know, I don't think Lucius's elf likes me very much. I have just had several custom-made hair ornaments sent to me from my favorite designer (utterly gorgeous, you should see the way they sparkle!), and the little wretch intentionally dropped them all over the parlor floor! I know it was intentional, as he had asked me earlier in the day ( Read more... )

I have been so lax about this thing - to be expected, of course. These last few weeks have been the busiest of my life! First there was my birthday. An absolutely perfect affair, I assure you, all the right people were there. It wasn't too big, of course, only a couple hundred guests. I couldn't possibly have my birthday overshadowing my wedding! I ( Read more... )

It's happening. It's really happening.

There isn't enough time in the world lately, it seems. Every time I look at a calendar I'm surprised at how much time has passed! To think, I'll be married in less than a month. Everything is simultaneously falling into and out of place. I suppose it's merely the thought of my life changing so entirely... I'm still excited, of course - what girl ( Read more... )

I can hardly believe it's November already! The wedding is getting nearer and nearer, and while I'm terribly excited about it (naturally), it's also rather worrying. There's still so much to do! Mother and I have been whipping the house elves into an absolute frenzy of sachet-stuffing and I don't think Diagon Alley will ever be the same after our ( Read more... )

It's been a rather dire few weeks, hasn't it? I've been absolutely out of sorts. I couldn't even muster up enough energy to visit the clothier's for wedding dress measurements yesterday. Mummy was quite concerned about my health. I do feel a bit... well, detached lately. Nothing interests me, not even wedding plans.
