Find the Horcruxes

Warded: Father.

How could you How dare you this is unquestionably the WORST

Tell me you would never make betrothal plans for me without consulting me discussing it with me ahead of time, Father.

Warded: Rabastan.

I need to speak with you immediately

All I want for Christmas is a new filing cabinet.

Now isn’t that just the cutest thing ever. And she’s mine. She’s coming to stay with me and keep the old girl company. She’s a pygmy domestic goat for anyone who was wondering.

Were you aware of the photograph in today's Prophet? It was pointed out to me by a girl in the lift this morning, who recognized me as the "unknown older gent" Harpies Chaser Nora Alderton was caught "frantically embracing" in Diagon last night.

She further inquired as to how many drinks it took t

If you're interested, it's located under the pithy heading "MOVE OVER MADOG".

It's Friday and I don't want a repeat of last week's bore, so, barring any emergency at the clinic, I plan on hitting the pubs tonight. Who's with me?

Cecil, you still owe me that pint for taking care of your house-elf (how's Rollie doing, by the way?), so that would be the perfect time.

My invitation isn't opened only to people who owe me a pint (and Mina, don't even think of including yourself in that list, you know that I'll never allow you to pay for me) though, of course. It would make for very thin company. So, Mina, Damocles, Gideon, Miriam, Felicity, Boyd, Amalie, any of you care to join me? You too, Hope!

Why, oh why, oh why, do people buy Dark artefacts - illegal Dark artefacts at that - then whinge and complain when said Dark artefact turns around and bites them on the arse? Literally in this case. And why, oh why, oh why, do I then get handed the case when I can't laugh at them for buying illegal Dark artefacts that bite them on the arse?

Still I suppose it could have been worse. The artefact could have done something a lot more unpleasant than bite this guy on the arse. In fact I gave him many detailed examples of worse cases as I was arresting him.

Oh, and yes, we were able to remove the Dark artefact from his arse.

[Warded to the DMLE]

Quick! Someone give me a reason to not go to dinner with my parents this weekend.

Warded: Private.

Dinner with the Blacks? Honestly Daddy, I'd rather pull my eyelashes out one by one.

Regulus will probably drink the whole wine cellar.

Warded: Rabastan.

I expect you to keep me entertained during this whole nonsense.

In the spirit of spreading a bit of Christmas cheer to those who may find it difficult to have any, I would like to announce that there will be a toy drive to gather gifts for the children of Artemisia Lufkin Orphanage and related establishments. Donations will be taken from now through 20 December, and can be sent to myself, Celeste Lestrange, via Lestrange Manor. If anyone would like to volunteer to help wrap the toys and distribute them on Christmas Eve, please contact me at your earliest convenience to be included. Thank you.

Nora, are you in need of another one of our (meaning me & Miriam) special strawberry cakes? Because I honestly wouldn't mind trying to replicate that other one. Anything for a friend in need and all.

I'm really sorry that I can't do it tonight, though. Seeing Queen in concert takes precedence. I wish I could invite you along - you know, to try to make a friend feel better - but I don't have any spare tickets. But I can wave at the band for you!

Warded to Meredith:

Did you tell Mum about Miriam? Because I got this owl from her the other day, asking about Miriam and who she was and why I hadn't told her (because I'm still twelve years old and tell my mother everything), and it had to be either you or Lawrence. It wouldn't have been Ida. She's a lot nicer than the rest of us.

Paul, next time tell me if I have food in my hair. It was a full hour past lunch before anyone pointed it out to me and it was a PATIENT.

Actually everyone should tell anybody who has lettuce in their hair that they have lettuce in their hair. Let us all learn from this cautionary tale.

The Corpusalus Serum is fully complete and on the market. It is a better healing solution, which accelerates the body's ability to heal to an amazing degree. It will cut recovery time exponentially. St. Mungo's has already added it to their list of stocked potions.

While it is exciting news, it feels a little bittersweet given the news this morning. Werewolves are being hunted. This is... this is just despicable.

I was already on the look-out for a new project, but now I find myself with a desire to take another look at the possibility of curing lycanthropy. Or if not curing it, at least helping them. I may not be a politician, nor a leader, but if I could create a potion that could help them, perhaps it would change perceptions of werewolves. Perhaps it would give these people a chance to rise above their condition. They aren't monsters, and they don't deserve to be hunted down.

Yes, I am apparently so arrogant that I am going to try and cure an incurable disease. Since I have a feeling this isn't going to get funded by St. Mungo's as my last project, I will be looking for partners and lab assistants on my own. Anyone interested?


[Private to Friends and Immediate Family]

I may be idiotic, I know. But on the coattails of a big success, I figure I can afford it.

Speaking of, maybe it's tasteless, but I would like to celebrate. Saturday night, drinks at mine and Josie's?

They're already publishing my potion in the new books for NEWT level Potions, and it's being not only included in two upcoming collections, but a book that was already completed is being called back from to add it before mass distribution. I didn't mention it publically because it's tasteless to brag. But okay, all right, I'm bragging.

Laelia I worry Laelia, you know that Lucia cares for your well being like you were her own sister.


Were you able to take Tullia and Prisca out for an afternoon?

[Added Ward to Lucia]

Laelia will be joining us for luncheon tomorrow. Will you please have the elves set another plate?

( Private )

I'm usually not much for commenting on the news but I can't help but feel kind of bad for werewolves getting targeted from all bloody angles. Not trying to get into politics or anything or take sides but just...

People trying to kill you. That's my point. It's a shite way to go through life. Not that anyone's really been safe lately but there you have it.

[Lucia]

Darling, I do not mean to overstep, but... I trust that you are on top of this?

[Dee]

I trust you have seen Laelia Nott's suggestion?

I would just like to clarify for any of those who take everything on these journals seriously, regarding things my brother said in his journal last night. I never said those things. My brother was overworked and very tired and thus a bit confused. Now, I would never use violence not to the extent of Death Eaters oftentimes against a fellow person. I am certain most of you would threaten another person too if you were as pissed off at your arse of a neighbour as I was.

what does everyone want for christmas????

my top three things that i want are:
~ a mobile cassette player ohmygod!!! too bad mum probably can't affor
~ michael jackson's album!! i can't believe i don't have it yet, but i spent too much on my fall wardrobe!!! sacrifices for style are okay though!!
~ a boyfriend!
~ magpies tickets!!!

every year prudy and i go to my mum's for the holidays, just like we did when we went to hogwarts, and we all cook the muggle way until mum gets fed up and just charms things to not burn!! it's fun though, and i discovered last year that hard sparkling cider is my favorite thing to drink! my dad's been talking about us visiting him instead this winter but i don't think we will do that because he totally doesn't get the whole holiday spirit thing and that's just unfun! he'd probably have to work all afternoon and would make us cook anyway.

it's getting so close!!! i love looking at all the pretty lights and decorations the stores in diagon are starting to put up! i think i'll put ours up this weekend. that's one thing i loooove about the magical world! decorations are even prettier!!
