Here Be Dragons!
Well I've done it!! Have arrived in Romania and it is terribly early in the morning but I am so excited that I am not tired at all. Charlie says that it's good to be early around dragons because they are easier to deal with when they're a bit sleepy. Also some of them are nocturnal so if you want to see them in action you need to be up before the sun is!
Ginny stayed with me until Friday when I left. I did not want to go at first!! It was so sad to have to send her home but she was so sweet and said she would visit me if her mum lets her, and I will be home for Christmas. So it's not so long really!
This place is very BIG. It's on this enormous hill behind a very creepy looking castle that Charlie says belongs to Dracula. I don't know if I believe him but there is actually a sign in the cantina on the sanctuary grounds that has warnings about vampires in the area. My room is in this small building that's also a look-out tower, and you have to use a broom to get up to it. The view is AMAZING. You can see all the pens from there and all the dragons and every so often there'll be a big puff of fire from one of them when he snores or burps or YOU KNOW. Hahaha!
I have orientation tomorrow and then Monday I actually get to start helping Charlie and his partner Fiona with feeding. The dragons eat animals of course and they have to be live and I think Fiona thought I'd be rather squeamish about it, but it's really just like feeding a really big Lilitou so I think I will be fine.
Oh and about an hour after I got here who should I see but Mrs Malfoy! She came up to the tower and we all had tea. She looks so DIFFERENT now but the best thing is her hands were tattooed with these beautiful red designs. She said it wasn't permanent which is very sad because they were so GORGEOUS. I want to get my hands done like that!
Okay I have to go, am about to get brekkie and a tour of the sanctuary!
Ginny Princess I miss you and I love you.
Edit: my mum just owled me about princess diana. that is so horrible. oh my goodness. she was so pretty and kind. how could something like that happen?
