14 August 1982
Yesterday we took Elodie to his parents and dropped the rest of the children off at Nathan's for the day. I love my children. I wouldn't say anything or wish anything about them be different, but it was nice to have a day that was just us. It was like when we were first married and it was a weekend that neither of us had a match. Gods, I love Julian. I'm so bloody lucky to have him, I'm not sure every husband still wants their wife after they have three kids, but I'm glad that mine does. (They should, but they're men.) I love Julian and saying yes when he proposed was the best thing I ever did.
Everything that's happened since the fifth has had me so exhausted and stressed. I can't believe the fucking Aurors. Who arrests someone when their wife is in labor? And I can't believe they arrested Lucius too. I'm just SO ANGRY about it. There are loads of other people they could have gone after, but I suppose Lucius was the best target because he's a public figure.
Of course, both Nathan and Albert have been questioned. The Aurors wanted to talk to me on my 30th birthday, lovely. I don't know if they'll want to talk to Julian but talking to Julian and I is a waste of time.
I'm going to help them both doing whatever I can, so we'll see. The entire thing is bloody ridiculous.
Ixoria and I don't always get along but it's ridiculous. We've been watching her children, but soon she's going to have to take them back. I know she's not using us, she's just been busy between having a BABY (Pandora is sweet though) and talking to John Fleecer and the Aurors, she's probably exhausted, but I can't watch five children every day. My house is a mess (not that we're the neatest people anyway, we have better things to do than worry about if there is dust on top of the shelving) and every day I hope no one just drops in and visits. And she has a house elf and I don't although I might ask if I can borrow hers so it doesn't look like we're completely slobs.
I'm glad that Aggie went to Portugal. She needs her own life, she's earned it, it'll be good for her. Of course, Julian and I would never admit to any of the Flints that we may or may not have talked Aggie into doing it, but I think that it will be the best for her. I know the Flints mean well, but you can't really have a life of your own here when you're the girl that You-Know-Who kidnapped. I just hope it works out for the best.
I also don't know what the little whore that Lotharius Marchbanks is doing. She is making him look completely ridiculous and she ought to care even though she's not pure. Even if he was a halfblood, you shouldn't DO that to another person, not in the least one you're in a relationship with. You should never make the person you're with look ridiculous. I don't know what she's trying to prove or doing or if she's just that fucking stupid.
I don't know Padraic Ockley that well or his wife at all, but if he is cheating on her, I hope she hexes him good. Nobody should be made to look that ridiculous. I just wish people could control themselves and act like normal witches or wizards.
Maybe she just likes the attention. Or maybe she's a tease.
Or maybe she's just a HUGE WHORE.
Either way, someone needs to control her. She's making him look ridiculous. Someone has to marry him one day and no one will want to if she's made him look like a fool.
I'm awake and I don't mean to be, but at least there's England/Portugal on right now. It's a close match, no Snitch. I don't know who I want to win, I'm not sure which one of the Seekers currently irritates me more except that I'm going to go with England only because I hope that Pierreck has a dead brill match. Personally, I think Xavier and Elodie (why I'm up) wanted to listen to the match so I won't complain. Besides Daddy is back training and needs his sleep.
Of course, we're all sorry that Aunt Hell and Daddy aren't playing but that goes without saying.
And we're all glad that Q is home although, we're losing her brother Laz to seven years of Hogwarts. I hope he goes Slytherin, but I guess we'll see. Quivoca and Amaryllis didn't.
I'm afraid that I've been too busy recently to talk to much of anyone. We've had our nieces over nearly everyday. That's good for the boys, it gives them someone new to play with, although they have a very different idea of play from their cousins. Xavier and Evander think that mud puddles are a brilliant way to pass the time and I'm afraid Proserpina and Persephone strongly disagree. I can tell that Elodie (who is trying to walk) is used to the boys because she also cries less when she gets knocked over by one of them. (Not that we condone them knocking over their little sister, but with three children, things happen.)
England just scored another goal, but there's no sign of the Snitch still. I have a feeling it's going to be a good tight match.
