14 August 1981: As Lottie Parkin
This? This was a mistake. This was a complete mistake. I don't know what Nico's got herself into but I doubt it's good but it still can't be as bad as where I am right now.
All I ever wanted to be in my life was a Seeker, just a Seeker, just a really good Seeker who would catch the Snitch and go home and not be very remarkable or known otherwise. I never wanted anything else. Now I'm a girlfriend and he wants me to be mother to his children at some point and probably his wife, and this is too much, this is TOO MUCH and Nico was right to break it off with Cam MacKenzie and I should break it off right now, before it gets any worse. I never should have agreed to this.
Oh, like Ricky would ever let me break it off. The problem with unconditional love is that there's no way to break it.
I should say something in public, at least.
All I hear about these days is either the greatness of the wizarding music scene or whispers about contract negotiations. All rumours, I haven't really been keeping up with either! I'm happily settled with the Bats and my Cap and my managers, unless that is some team would like to pay me bagfuls of Galleons per Snitch I catch (and I catch quite a few, you know). At the very least I heard that Prophet writer who gossiped about Natalie's little sister the Harpy had his building egged, or something like that.
And speaking of them of course no one really missed the news that Jenny Ward's back on the Harpies, first-string Beater, no one on the Bats could miss it because it's all Barry kept muttering under his breath about. I hope his little French Harpy can calm him down!
I've got a terrible cold so I'm home with some Pepperup, must've gone outside with my hair wet or something, but I think I'll just stay in and listen to WWN. The Phoenix Flight is still my favourite program after all these years and new kids!
