Hello! I have returned from holiday. I had a marvellous time. We visited the Pinnawela elephant orphanage in Kegalla while staying in Sri Lanka. We were fortunate enough to see them bathing the elephants in the river Maha Oya, which I had been told was a sight that one must see. It was astonishingly peaceful at the orphanage. Elephants are ( Read more... )

My preparations are nearly complete! There are merely a few loose ends to take care of and I shall be finished. Soon I shall become a sane, functional human being again. It shall be a few weeks of touch and go, but after that everything shall be in its right place ( Read more... )

I am quickly updating this log between shifts at the Ministry. My life has become quite overwhelming of late. There are many things to be done and many preparations to be made within the next few weeks. It shall be quite trying, but I do believe that the ends will justify the strenuous means.

I must admit to being slightly frightened; her tone was so minatory that I feared I was being arrested for reasons unknown. I followed her to a hall in Durham, where I was introduced to a myriad of persons who all seemed quite eager to ( Read more... )

Recently I had the privilege of taking in a jovial game of Literati with my brother Ronald. It was during a kerfuffle he seemed to be in the midst of with his friends Harry and Seamus. I quite thought that he would enjoy a distraction, and as he proved to be far too superior at Literati for me, my assessment was correct ( Read more... )

Due to an incident involving my brother Ronald and a wand, my personal computer is currently undertaking repairs at the wizishop down the road from my flat. I have scarcely had time to use any of the computers at the Ministry and am currently updating this log from a computer that belongs to a friend of mine from the Ministry. Miss Clearwater, ( Read more... )

I have decided to slip out of the Burrow now while most are sleeping ( Read more... )
