Father's acting a bit strange lately. I thought it mighta been just me at first, but my bros and sisses have definitely caught on as well. We tried to ask him what was wrong, but he got oddly mad at us and just shooed us away ( Read more... )

Well, I gotta say, I wasn't sure how I'd do with archery, but I was pleasantly surprised with my results! It was fun either way, but to get a bulls-eye so many times? I feel pretty accomplished ( Read more... )

I'm going to camp!

It did take quite a bit of convincing to get Father to allow me to leave during the latter half of summer (and I do know he likes having me around to help him, which is something I regret not being able to do during all of this break), but being able to see America is just something I couldn't resist.

And apparently the trip to the vacation home was a treat for me! In all the... er, ( Read more... )

I don't know how I got so lucky as to make it out of that with just a cut on my hand... but I am so thankful for whatever was looking over me that day. Miwako, you're still doing okay, right ( Read more... )

... Oh, well this is a right predicament. I hope you Hufflepuffs don't mind the tower, though- it's a nice place! If anyone needs any help getting settled, just lemme know! I'd be happy to help out.

I'm planning to have a bit of a homework session later in front of the fire. ... You know, if I can get there. Bit crowded, innit? Anyhow, any of you ( Read more... )

That's the second time I've nearly panicked when reading the Daily Prophet. What good does it do that Hogwarts is the safest place to be right now when your family... your non-magic siblings aren't living here with you? Sometimes I think I'd gladly give this all up, just to be home with the rest of em to be able to protect em ( Read more... )

... I don't wanna be this small again. No one respects you when you're this small. And nobody notices you. Not even when you're an inch from death...

[ ooc: Tragic past y'all. LOL. He'll snap out of it soon enough. ]

Oh wow, a phoenix costume! Flashy and classy, I'd say. A lot of work went into this; it makes me want to start drafting ideas for circus costumes ( Read more... )
