There was a 'crack' behind a large cluster of evergreen shrubbery. A head with a mop of brown hair popped out to look around. Hyde Park was quite deserted in this part, or at leat no chance of being spotted. She gave Viktor's hand a little tug to follow. "So...a walk, perhaps? The benches look a little frosty and wet trousers are no one's idea of a ( Read more... )

Just when I think I'm worked to the bone and nothing worse could happen, I get confirmation from a future Ron that I'm going to continue down the path of neuroticism to an overworked life, where all hopes of love are abandoned for my career while my friends are satisifed with their lifestyles and happily married.

Hermione is very busy mixing potions.

She is also mixing herself an anti-depressant potion which St. Mungo's had prescribed since her mother had died. Normally she'd buy it already made but because of all the work she'd been doing, she didn't have time.

Need to call in on an old friend.

Also need to stop worrying over the application.

There’s research to be done, though. It’s probably odd that I feel content about this. I hate being stuck doing nothing. I ( Read more... )

Watched 'The Joy Luck Club' late last night on TV.

Probably not the smartest idea I've had in a while...

So let's see.

- I feel closer to ( Read more... )

As...shattered as I feel about this whole thing, it's...strange.

I didn't know that she would die but I did at the same time. It was probably three weeks ago. I looked into her eyes and tehre was something which told me Mum had accepted it herself and that I should accept it too. I think I did all my crying then. I think from then on she thought it ( Read more... )

Took Mum to St. Mungo's. The Ministry let us after all.

She passed away in her sleep.

Thanks Harry, but... Things are like that, aren't they? Life...

Oh God...
