Just as you approach the darkest point in your life, you mysteriously receive a one way ticket with the promise of a better life. However, once you've redeemed your ticket, there is no turning back. Some find comfort in their new home, while others are desperate to leave. A revolution is in the works, what side will you take?

Been awhile for this but hey, St. Paddy's day is coming up on the 17th. As many of us know, the holiday has become about getting blackout drunk and partying hard. So, don't drink and drive and drink responsibly - in moderation. Remember to drink water and eat proper food. Seriously. I'm really not interested in alcohol poisoning cases.

Does anyone know if there's a store that carries about thirty standard size lightbulbs? Everywhere I stopped on the way home only had a couple in stock. I'm cool with different brands or types. I just kind of need them until I can actually order a batch.

Did you know that you can use PICTURES to tell people how you think and feel on the internet? IT'S PRETTY NEAT!

...I also learned that using BIG LETTERS is like I'm YELLING. I've been doing some learning about how to use computers. They sure as hell would have been useful in a battle!

I've seen snow. I've done snow before, lots of it. I've nearly frozen in the snow. I've traveled for hundreds of miles through Antarctica, completely naked. Cold can be a powerful, dangerous, wonderful thing.

For some reason, even though I felt I was finished with the snow, it's beautiful here. I don't know why I am at peace. I keep going over Frost's poem in my mind;

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

I know you're all pleased that it is over, but I wanted to say that most of you weren't bad as children. It was nice to have friends decent people my own age here for a while.

Not that I wish my friends from home were here. They'd probably hate it, or be killed by motor-cars.

I got a job!

From next week onward, I'll be teaching Theoretical Physics at the Abacus Institute. Who wants to sign up?

Well, fuck.

Apologies to anyone I threatened to murder in the last week.
Unless you deserved it.

I love how quiet the institute is during the holidays, with most people going other places for Christmas. The dorms are actually peaceful for once. It's wonderful.

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Does magic exist here? I haven't tried it yet. Maybe I should just... try it.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head:
'There is no peace on earth, ' I said
'For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.'

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.'

Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

One good thing about this time of year is the food selection. I think I spent way too much on stuff that will take me months to eat. Anyone like butter cookies?

Would it be strange if I said I think I might actually be happy? I thought so too.

I'm happy...

What do people do when they're happy?

[Private to Angela]

Let me know when you're not busy working. I'd like to see you again.

I must admit, I'm getting quite excited for the holidays! I've already begun to decorate the home, but the last touch will be the tree. I think I shall wait until December actually rolls around to procure one. But what theme shall I do this year? I thought about paying tribute to my alma mater, but maybe it's better to keep that separated from Preya.

I'm curious to know how many people have changed their minds about coming to Preya. And if people knew they couldn't leave before accepting the invitation.

All Souls' Night, 1917

You heap the logs and try to fill
The little room with words and cheer,
But silent feet are on the hill,
Across the window veiled eyes peer.
The hosts of lovers, young in death,
Go seeking down the world to-night,
Remembering faces, warmth and breath—
And they shall seek till it is light.
Then let the white-flaked logs burn low,
Lest those who drift before the storm
See gladness on our hearth and know
There is no flame can make them warm.

[Filtered to extended Black/Malfoy family, plus Quentin]

I have such a wonderful collection of books coming in - thank you all so much for your help!

I'd like to ask for your thoughts on the library's location. I had planned to extend a room on the first floor, by my study, but if you would like to consult it often, perhaps a separate building within the grounds of the estate would be preferable? I could alter the wards to ensure you were all admitted, even if I happened to be away.
