I've decided to tell Adam that I'm a witch. I tried the whole non-magic thing again and found it to be quite manageable after all, but now that things are established and such, I want the real me out there. And yes, things are looking very established. That's what happens when you spend tons and tons of time together, even in only a few months. ( Read more... )

So much for going without magic and magic-related things. One desperate need to tidy up the flat, and I pull my wand out instead of folding the clothes myself. The next thing I know, I'm getting everything out from the hidden chest and catching up with my book again. It's amazing how quickly you adjust to life with magic. I went without it for the ( Read more... )

I'd forgotten what it was like to feel like this. All the happiness and nervousness and excitement of meeting somebody and feeling sparks. Dinner with Adam was fabulous. He took me to a nice little place for dinner and then we talked for what seemed like forever. I can't even remember the last time I had such a good first date. Things got a little ( Read more... )

Poor Justin. At least they've dropped the murder charges. Still, it's getting to be so that I'm almost afraid to read the Prophet nowadays ( Read more... )

My word, I take some time off to visit my brother and the world turns upside down. I really wish I had brought my book after all. Forget hiding magic from the muggles, I could have seen the secrets spilling firsthand. I can't say how glad I am not to have been in the shop when the Merlinade hit the fan, so to speak. I know enough not to drink ( Read more... )

Things are a little more normal around Diagon Alley, but it's still not the same.  I keep overhearing worried conversations when I'm out eating lunch. I'd assume I was still just reading too much into everything if I hadn't had that cup of tea this morning. It wasn't the Grim, but it was still a very unsettling cup.  I'm still not sure if the ( Read more... )

I didn't believe it when I read it in the paper this morning. He wasn't everyone's favourite person, but still, what a horrid thing. My condolences, Miles. Business was slow today. Nobody felt like picking up joke products after another suspicious tragedy in the area, I guess. I'm a little afraid to even drink tea, to tell the truth. I can't shake ( Read more... )

I need to get out more. The only thing in my life besides work is my family. My cousin threw herself a big birthday party with the family, instead of with her friends like any normal person would, so the Brown clan gathered to gossip and drink, which is what tends to make these things more interesting. Mum was cooing to all the aunties about our ( Read more... )

You'd think that I would have known it was coming. I should have seen it, or at least seen the signs, or maybe even figured it to be an annual event. I must have been too preoccupied with the holiday rush and coordinating family gatherings to have missed all the warning signs and therefore be taken totally by surprise and fall for the same trick ( Read more... )

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun in such a short span of time. Apparently there was a blue concoction somewhere in there, which would explain the lack of memory. Whatever happened, it must have been fun since I woke up with the worst hangover the next day ( Read more... )
