Narrowing the Search...
Tonks picked up the spell quickly, even quicker than I did. After practicing it a few times around Headquarters we set out to canvass Cheapside to find our quarry. We both Apparated to the designated Apparation Point for the area and decided upon a plan.

Learning the Spell
Hermione sent me an interdepartmental memo earlier at work inviting me to stop by and pick up an outfit for Lily. So instead of heading straight home from work to Godric's Hollow I've stopped over in Hogsmeade. I Apparated near the Three Broomsticks and stopped in and put in an order with Rosemerta for me to pick up and take home for supper tonight ( Read more... ) -
Back to Work...
It feels odd to be leaving Ginny and Lily home alone to return to work. Truthfully, I'd prefer to stay home longer with them, but Viktor Crabbe and Gustuv Goyle aren't going to wait for me to master the art of changing nappies. Besides the owlpost I received from that official ministry owl stated that if I didn't return today I risked disciplinary ( Read more... ) -
Oi!!!! What a Day!
The day seems to be going all right. Despite the world going insane with our esteemed Minster exonerating one Severus Snape, the murdering bastard, and now McGonagall's gone insane and is letting him teach again. I've resigned myself to the fact that it appears one Zemelda Smith is every bit as corrupt and incompetent as the previous three ( Read more... ) -
Ministry Decree: Find Yourself A New Wand!
I'm really starting to enjoy the breakfasts Ron, Tonks, and I share each morning before our shifts begin. This morning we spent the meal debating the Cannon's chances of moving from the bottom of the table. Ron, of course, is convinced this is their year, but Tonks and I are pretty sure they will again be trolling in the bottom. ( Read more... ) -
The "New" Order...
I pace back and forth in front of the fire. While the flames send eerie shadows of light throughout the room, there is no heat generated, which given the heat wave outside I'm devoutly thankful. As I turn back around Ginny gives me an amused smile from the loveseat where she sits sipping her pumpkin juice.

Did I Make a Mistake?
Sweet Merlin!My eyes are starting to cross. I honestly thought once we finished going through all the reports on the at large Death Eaters that they'd assign us partners and let us start working cases. That was a foolish thought. Dawlish delighted in assigning me the task of going back through the files and writing recommendations on how to proceed ( Read more... ) -
A Talk With Ginny...
CRACK!I suck in a breath of air and survey my surroundings. As usual everything is quiet and not for the first time do I pat myself on the back for my decision to build our home further back on th property, away from the village proper, rather than on the sight of my parents old home. I do sigh heavily as I realize something really needs to be done ( Read more... ) -
Big Surprises...
I finished my twenty-four hour ready-response team shift, Apparated home and passed out in bed. To keep us sharp for twenty-four hours we are required to take a Pepper-Up Potion every four hours of the shift. Pepper-Up has the tendency to keep you sharp and alert, but when used in this manner your body usually needs somewhere in the neighborhood of ( Read more... ) -
Plans Cancelled...
I'm awakened by a tapping at the window. I blink my eyes and spot the owl hovering outside the bedroom window. I wonder who would be sending me an owl post at five in the morning. I quietly drag myself out of bed, careful not to disturb Ginny, who for once seems to be resting completely peacefully, instead of rolling about trying to find a ( Read more... )
