(no subject)
Lovely. It has been decided that I will spend the summer here.
They had a "family meeting" to discuss what should done with me for the summer. I'm thrilled that I wasn't invited to give my thoughts on the subject. Philis took notes on the meeting, paraphrasing everyone's suggestions. I got the owl this morning; the "transcript" came with a few other things, all aimed at cheering me up, I'm sure.
They just remind me of how much I want to be home.
And now, my summary of the
Mama: Wanted me home. Reason: I'm her baby and I've been traumatized. Yay Mum.
Papa: Wanted me at school. Reason: Safest place in Western Europe, blah blah blah. Why couldn't we just take a vacation to South America or something then? Something not involving Europe.
Marie: Wanted me home, or somewhere else away from school. Reason: I'd been traumatized and would need counseling; counseling is what she does for a living, so she would know this. Yay Big Sis.
Katrine: Wanted me at school. Reason: Safer blah blah blah. Most likely she just didn't want me drooling over her latest conquest. For once she didn't side with Mama...
Janna: Wanted me at school. Reason: Safest blah blah blah. I. Am. Stung.
Beka: Wanted me at school. Reason: Agreed with Papa. Eh, the twins go with the majority most of the time.
Gert: Agreed with Beka. Of the two of them, Beka is the Fearless Leader.
Philis: Wanted me home. Reason: "Spending summer at school is horrid. And what could be safer than being surrounded by Durmstrang graduatess?" Philis is wonderful.
After more discussion, Mama changed her mind and agreed with Papa to leave me here. I am not happy at all.
Philis said she might see if she could visit, as did Marie.
Maybe they'll let us eat in the kitchens...or in our rooms...
