It's Too Late to Apologize

[Hexed Private to Self]
I slept last night for the first time in a long time. Didn't have to worry about getting up today or any stupid Ministry rubbish or anything like that. Those nightmares are getting worse and worse though, or so it seems. I'm going to have to start taking the potion, if only to make sure Ty doesn't wake up because of me screaming. I wonder if that was real or if I dreamed that. Anyway, last night was clam, no dreams. And in the morning, I woke up in his arms, his warm, strong arms.

I can't believe any of this is happening to me. The good, the bad, everything. It's all happening at the same time. And I know there'll come a moment when I won't be able to handle this, when I'll look into his eyes and give up on the rebellion just because he's too brilliant and amazing to keep on hurting this way. Is this what Teddy feels like? Except, Ty's only asked me to run away should I ever be given the choice between that and dying. He didn't ask me to leave. I'm sure he doesn't understand, but at least, he's letting me make my own choices, my own mistakes if that's what they are. Then.... we don't have children.

[Hexed Private to Vee]
I'm sorry. You don't have to forgive me, but I am sorry for what happened between us. Please let me see Maddie and Chris.

I don't want you to hate me any more.

Dad took it so well last night. It was almost as if he wasn't really my father. He was actually polite to Ty, and he just nodded the whole way through as I explained that we were only sharing the flat until I could find a place of my own. It's almost unnerving how calm he was. I'm sure Mum did something to his tea or something. She must have. There's no way that man was my father. I'm glad you were there though, Huey. Thanks for that. Still.... sort of creepy on the dad part.

And with that said, temporary residence is Casa Weasley-Troy. Please direct any and all owls in that direction. Thank you.

[Private to Cao]
Hey! I was wondering if you'd like to get together for lunch or something some time. We haven't really spoken much in the past, but I'd like to get to know you if that's all right. Please let me know what you think!

[Private to Ty]
You make a good pillow.

Two muggle boys ages four and seven were playing in the sandbox in the park yesterday morning. Out comes a young wizard boy of about six and starts to play with them. Their parents are sitting at the benches not too far off watching them happily. Suddenly, the three boys get into an argument about the placement of certain sandcastles, and emotions are on the rise. Without really meaning to, it seems, the young wizard boy levitates one of the buckets used to make sandcastles and flings it to the other side of the park, smashing it rather spectacularly into a tree. Sources say there were even fireworks when it hit the tree, though this is debatable at best. The wizard parents feel a mixture of pride and fear. The muggle parents are just stunned into silence. And then, the parents start to go at it.

About an hour later, Ministry officials arrive on the scene. No charges were pressed on the wizarding family, because they considered it to be an accident. However, the muggles' memories had to be modified. That's when I was called in. Took a while to do them all, considering the children kept fidgeting, but I managed all right. Just a really long day.

He loves me. And when everything around me is falling apart, remembering that always puts my world back in order.

I can't believe he's real. I lay awake at night just staring at him to make sure he won't disappear or that it was all just some dream. He amazes me every day, and he makes me happy when I don't think I could crack a smile. I am madly in love with Tyree Troy, and I never thought I could feel this way. Like I could fly without a broom just by looking into his eyes.

Sappy ends here.

Role call. How's everyone doing?

I saw those little feet, Vee. He's so beautiful.

So, hypothetically, if a certain girlfriend were to ask a certain boyfriend to willingly put himself in the line of fire for just a little while with that certain girlfriend's father...... would he? Hypothetically, of course.

[Private to Devon Smith]
This is only because you're Ty's friend so I'm sorry about the other day. I was out of line. Take that as you will.
[/Private]

[Private to Rowan and River]
Thank you again for yesterday. I had a lovely time, and I'm so happy to have met you both. I would love to do this again some time. Perhaps I'll coax Ty into dinner or something. Also, did we come up with ideas for my meeting your sister officially? No rush of course, but I would like to at least get to know her a little better like I did with the two of you. I was thinking maybe something with Ty? I'm sure he'd like that.
[/Private]

[Private to Hugo]
So, I met River and Rowan yesterday for lunch. They seem very nice, and it's interesting to see the dynamic between them. If you think we fight, they fight like about a thousand times more. I still have to meet with Caoimhe. To tell you the truth, I'm more interested in seeing all of them together. Well, interested and a little frightened. They seem to be like our family, a bit on the insane side, but they're sweet. I like them.

How are things with you? The band? Mum and Dad? The girl? I'm sorry I haven't been around for you that much lately. It's been a bit crazy. I miss you, little one.
[/Private]

[Private to Ty]
You do realize there's only one sibling left for me to meet. What do you think is best? Should I initiate or did you have something else in mind?

Nobody panic. Everyone relax. Maybe it's nothing. Just don't forget your bloody ID cards and don't fucking do anything stupid. Loch, I'm looking at you in particular. Leave the toys in the shop. I swear if the Ministry doesn't kill you, I'll kill you myself. Our parents will be there, so it's not like something terrible will happen. Godric, I certainly hope not. Just stay calm. We'll be fine.

In other news, if anyone needs me, I'm staying with Tyree. Don't even start either. I'm not in the mood.

I guess that's another day I have to miss work.

[Strongly Hexed Private to Family and Friends]
I'm at The Leaky. Room 12. Apparently, Dad and Uncle Percy stayed in this room once when they were school aged. Or, at least that's what Mum says. She owled me to tell me that and also that Dad still isn't speaking to her. I do think Dad will come around eventually, but I can't sit around and wait. I should have left a long time ago, but I didn't, because I care about them very much. But I think I'm ready to go off on my own. I think it's about time I did anyway.

Thank you to everyone for all your kind words. I love all of you. Please come visit me.

[Private to Willow]
Would you be terribly angry with me if I went to live with I'm still thinking about How was practice today?

Thanks for staying with me last night. Even though I cried like a girl

I think I've just been kicked out of my house.






Added later: I had a feeling this Witch Weekly thing was going to cause problems. I suppose I should explain what happened.

I honestly hadn't thought anything of the snippet. It didn't bother me in the least bit. I came home to find mother had purchased a copy of the magazine, because she "wanted to save the pictures of my boyfriend" for me. How kind of you, mother, really. Anyway, apparently, dad didn't know I had a "boyfriend" and he just totally flipped out. Said he couldn't believe no one had told him and that he thought we'd just gone to the ball together. And I said that I didn't think it was such a big deal, enough for him to go so wonky over it anyway. And besides, it's not as if he has to know everything about my life.

I also may or may not have used the word 'independent' somewhere in there, which was probably the cause for "Well if you're so independent, why don't you just leave and be done with it?"

Yeah....

[Private - Willow, Aindrea and Indigo can read]
When did I become so interested in Quidditch that I would willingly give up a Saturday to go watch a game where two teams that I could care less about play? Oh right. When I got a boyfriend who just so happens to be a bloody Quidditch star. Actually.... it was rather educational with him there. GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER, GIRLS. I KNOW YOU. I meant educational in the sense that he sat with me and talked my ear off about player stats and whatnot. I learned a lot about different types of moves, passes, blocks, scores, hits. It was fascinating! His eyes were so piercing. I hung onto his every word as if they were golden. On Thursday, he took me to the Dover cliffs. I rode with him on his broom, and we saw the lights over France. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. Then, I started talking about the First Goblin Revolution for some reason, but he didn't mind! He listened to me. He actually listened and didn't just try to tune me out.

Ladies, I think.... I think I may be.... falling in love with Tyree Troy. My mother is freaking out! She said, "You shouldn't get hooked on the first fish you catch." A fishing reference? Mum, really? Or better yet, take your own advice much? Anyway, I know this sounds crazy, since we've only really been together for a few weeks, but he is so kind and intelligent and fit. I've never felt this way about anyone or anything to the point that I'd just about drop anything just to see him. I think he could be "the one". Pinch me please? This can't be real. This can't be happening. These things don't happen to Rose Weasley. I must be dreaming.
[/Private]

[Private - Tyree]
I enjoyed the game and had a good day, because I was with you. Thank you. And thanks for Thursday night. Again.
[/Private]

What in tarnation is happening? I'm seeing red and talkin like I'm from some southern movie Mama always used to watch when we was younger. Can't imagine how much my hide's gonna git laughed at today.

Did I just write 'git'? What in the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Hexed Private to Louis, Logan, Teddy, Caius, Scorpius, Kaida, LOCH - Charmed to look like a newspaper clipping for a Rising Phoenix article]
Quiet as a tomb.
[/Hex]

I've been hearing talk of the Rising Phoenix performance for days now. I think it's wonderful that they're getting so much exposure. They deserve it. They've worked so hard for so long. I'm glad things are going so well for them. In fact, Hugo, there's a gentlemen at work whose daughter is madly in love with you. She's all of three-years-old but apparently very mature for her age. Would you be a doll and sign a copy of your album for her? Her name is Carmen Maria Frost. Be sure to tell her you love her or something cute please?

And remember that I love you!

For all of you that have put on such wonderful dance routines for me on this day, I thank you kindly. I have never laughed so much in all of my life. Yes. I'm amused. And terrified at the same time. And hate to think of what might be to come for us females. If we're to sing power ballads all day, I have no idea what I'd do with myself.

The office today is filled with lovely music, and some that is not so lovely. I don't mean to sound rude, but some people were just not cut out to sing. My cousin, Lily, however, has a stunning voice. And who ever said free advertisement never went a long way? I encourage everyone to go on and attend her band's performance tonight.

Good luck, Rising Phoenix!

[Private: Tyree]
Are you feeling better, love? You and Hugo and the rest of the Ravenclaws gave me a bit of a fright yesterday. I know it wasn't your fault, but I was still terribly worried.

If you're feeling better though, would you mind accompanying me to Lily and Hugo's performance? I rarely get Saturday's off in order to be able to go out the night before, and I'd really like to support Lily and Hugo. Be my date please?
[/Private]

Half my office is empty, because everyone's afraid of me. I got a hex thrown at me as well for apparently being in on the plot to end the world. Surely, if I were to end the world, I'd get off it first. Just a thought.

Well, I guess I'll have some peace and quiet around here. Not planning on going home to Hugo though. Makes me glad my parents had narrations in their heads yesterday too. It's probably better than them thinking I'm plotting the end of the world like my brother and boyfriend Ty.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

Lorcán, you know you're very dear to me and all, but waking up beside you when I'm not expecting you is a very scary thing. So, if I didn't apologize about a hundred times for yelling in your ear this morning, then here it is.

I'm am so sorry.

Now that we've detached, however, I'm sure you're off at Quidditch practice and whatnot. I hope you liked those pancakes mum made!

Quiero saber la razón por qué nadie me entiende en mi casa. Fuera como si estuviera hablando en japones o algo asi. Pienso que quisas si estoy hablando en otro lenguaje, pero en si, yo no se como. Puedo entender un poco de español y creo que yo estoy hablando en español, pero no puedo estar segura. Las cosas más estrañas estan pasando aquí. Por lo menos todavia soy hembra. Tenemos que dar gracias por eso. Creo que me voy a acostar denuevo. Como diablo puedo comunicarme con las gente? Veo que otros también estan hablando rarisimo. ¿Que es lo que esta pasando? Godric, no lo puedo creer. Estamos viviendo en un tiempo tan estraño. ¿Todo estan bien? Si me pueden entender...

He was forced to do it. He didn't want to, but his job was on the line. I understand. I'd have probably done the same, except not. That's probably my biggest flaw. I'm proud. Too proud. And when it's my family, nothing else matters. I didn't lose my job, but I'm walking a fine line. My parents are distraught, naturally. Mum won't even look me in the eyes. She read the letter. She didn't think it was harsh at all. I don't think it was either, but it was necessary. And I don't feel bad about it. It wasn't a waste of time. Kass is out, and that's all I care about.

I rather deal with shit at work than have her be in jail. And if that's wrong, well then, I don't want to be right.

But I'm fine. I can handle this. I rather it be me and not any of you. Stay safe, all of you. I love you.

It's been a very long day.

[Private to Tyree]
I know it's the day before your match, and I don't want to boggle you down with this, but.... I was told to go home early are you terribly busy?
[/Private]

[Private: Finnigans/Longbottoms/Lupins/Potters/Weasleys - Scorpius Malfoy and Tyree Troy can read]

After a long hard discussion between me and my parents and a yelling fest between me and my dad, I decided to write the Ministry an owl regarding Kass's arrest. Personally, I don't think it'll do much good, but my parents have.... in a way.... talked me out of going personally over to the Minister and hexing him from here to kingdom come. They seem to believe it'll earn me a Dementor's Kiss faster than I can say Expecto Patronum. And trust me, I can say it pretty fast. Regardless, the letter reads as follows:

( Space Saver Charm )


I don't know what to do. We're going to lose her too, aren't we?

I went to the Magical Menagerie today during lunch. I figured I'd take a look see how the new Diagon Alley turned out. Can't say I don't like it. It seems nice on the outside at least. Even though I had a migraine (still sort of do), I wanted to see the pets there. I found a rather adorable Puffskein rolling around. Don't know what Dad'll say, but I'll ask anyway. No harm in asking right? Unless he's had a bad day and starts to yell. Then, my migraine will get worse. Then, mum will get upset. And all hell will break lose. All on a rainy, blustery day. Hugo, I suggest you Apparate just outside the door, in case there's yelling and such. That way you won't get all wrapped up in it. I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you though. It seems like every time I see you, you're asleep. Then again, I do have work, so I tend to get up early in the morning. Come see me some time please, yeah?

[Family/Friends]
I got the creepiest feeling at the Alley. I kept thinking about the people who died, about Pey. I couldn't help but wonder where she was, where they all were, when it happened. It was the eeriest feeling I've ever felt in all my life. And we all lived at Hogwarts. We all know what it's like to be around ghosts, but this was much different. This was suffering and death and revenge and unhappiness and sorrow. I don't know what I think about them rebuilding the place. Some part of me is glad that they remade things, and that things seem to be back to normal. But another part of me still would have preferred they just left the place alone. Made some sort of Memorial out of it. I dunno if that would have been better. Maybe it's just all the migraine potion I took today. I should sleep this off. On second thought, Huey, I think we better talk some other time. With the prospect of a Dad yelling session on the way, I don't think I'll be up for a chat with you tonight. Sorry.

I love you all. Please stay safe. And let me know if you need anything.
[/Family/Friends]

I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the families of those who recently passed. I would be more than happy to help with anything any of you might need.

[Abercrombies]
That goes especially for all of you. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear about Bart and Finn. Regretfully, I understand your pain with the passing of my cousin. Please do not hesistate to contact me should any of you need anything.

Again, I'm so very sorry.
[/Abercrombie]

[Family/Extended Family/Friends]
Is it terrible that it takes tragedy to remind me to tell all of you that I love you? It is terrible, isn't it? Regardless though, I love every single one of you. And I know some of you might have been friends with those who passed. So, if you need to talk, you know I'm here for you always. Stay safe, all of you.
[/Family/Extended Family/Friends]

[Tyree]
I'm so scared. Are you all right? I mean, I don't think anything happened to you, or at least it didn't say anything in the Prophet, but still, I'd like to know if that's all right.

Also.... thank you. I had a lovely time last night.
[/Tyree]

[Alice]
I never got a chance to properly thank you for helping me pick out my dress. We should do lunch some time if you're not busy. Thank you!
[/Alice]

It seems silly to talk about the ball now after today's events. Suffice to say, I had a genuinely good time. I hope everyone else did as well? At least until this morning?

Happy Birthday, Uncle Harry!

And thank you for going shopping with me, Alice. I actually had a nice time. See you at the ball!

In other news, I told Growling Girl, as I've come to know her as, that I did not feel comfortable being called Fiery Red Head nor did I feel comfortable being growled at. She just gave me this sideways smirk and winked at me. I think I'm getting a restraining order. That or I'm asking for a transfer. As it is, I had to hold back from hexing the bloody hell out of her, simply because I could lose my job. That is just so freaky.

[Family + Scorpius]
Are you all ready for this thing tomorrow? I'm sort of having second thoughts, not because of my date or anything (that's so weird to say by the way). But i just... I dunno. I get this uneasy feeling every time I think about it. Like, something bad is going to happen or something. I hope not. I mean, it'd be the perfect place for something to happen considering that a good portion of the Wizarding World is going to be there, but Godric, that'd be awful. I just can't stop thinking about Diagon and Peyton. I think I'm going to visit Gran and just hug her for about an hour.
[/Family + Scorpius]

[Self]
I don't know what's worse. That I wasn't mentioned as his date. That I care I wasn't mentioned as his date. That they would include a picture of Tyree half-naked. That it's affecting me so much. OR THAT I EVEN BLOODY READ IT AT ALL.

Yes, the worst is that I read it.
[/Self]

[Tyree]
South Africa strikes again.


Have you.... told anyone that I'm your date? I'm just asking in case it's not supposed to be common knowledge.
[/Tyree]

[Lupins]
No name yet? No rush though!
[/Lupins]

Fiery redhead. Not exactly the sort of thing I expected to hear at work from a co-worker. Cause for filing sexual harassment: yay or nay?

By the way, it was a she, but it was sort of uncomfortable. And she kind of growled at me as well. I was so stunned I couldn't even reply with one of my usual witty remarks. Nothing like that has ever happened to me. Is it normal to be afraid?
