Potions potions potions potions potions potions and more potions.

I got a new job as a clerk at a potions shop. Yay!

What would happen if I take a Alihotsy Draught and a Calming Draught in rapid succession, would I first get hysterical and then calm down? Or would the two cancel one another out? What if I mixed the two?

Here's an idea! Pepperup in different flavors! Like, maybe mint and strawberry? Or bubblegum!

[Private to Mary MacDonald]

Rita Skeeter at it again, huh? Writing lies just to sell papers.

It's good to be back in England.

But not really.

I am bored. What do wizards do around here for entertainment, nowadays?

Oh no, my secret sorkret has been revealed! You've got me world. I'm a blood thirsty werewolf and all my decades of shennanigans are just to cover it up! HOW SHALL I EVER GO ON!

Okay, but seriously. If you believe a word that leaves Rita Skeeters poison quill you're an idiot and you deserve to be brainwashed by ber tripe. And for the record, if I was a werewolf I still wouldn't care. There is no shame in being a werewolf, they're just people like all the rest of us. Yeah, some of them are assholes, but Wizards aren't all sunshine and lolipops either. Voldemort anyone?

So, in conclusion, Rita Skeeter you can go fuck yourself.

*Added later*
By the way, great photo of me Skeets! I'm going to start selling signed copies of it, all proceeds go to Werewolf Rights. If anyone wants a pic let me know!

Clorinda
You okay?

Mary
She's such a bitch, eh?

Remus
I won't let this get back to you, I swear on my life.

Have you seen the Daily Prophet!!!!

This is what they can say. Mad, illicit marriages, trespassing, succubus and WEREWOLF! Did I forget anything?

Congratulations about your wedding. Also I'm very sorry about this mess. I can quit if it helps.

( Daily Prophet )

As you can see, finding your name was not that difficult. It only required deductive reasoning.

I've modified the spell. Ready for the first round of testing?

General service announcement: I'd avoid Honeydukes for the foreseeable future. People are getting married after eating toffees! Then again, it could be another remarkable advertising campaign from Pink Floyd.

Well, it's certainly been an interesting couple of weeks, hasn't it.

Kingsley
Stop being a baby and come over, will you? We should talk

I don't get to see my family as much as I...maybe want to isn't the right word. As much as I would feel more comfortable with? After a while it just sort of slips my mind, I guess, and then that weird guilt shows up out of absolutely nowhere and I feel like if I don't panic, drop everything, and run I'm the worst kid ever. Which is silly, because I've grown up with some of you and I know what you're like. Not that I'm pointing fingers! But I might be. Anyway, that happened over the weekend and I wound up in the living room I used to do somersaults in yesterday and it was a somewhat enlightening experience. Their lives over the past two decades have hardly changed at all. I can remember almost every piece of furniture from my childhood and my mom handed me the same mug that she's been handing me since I was old enough to drink out of something other than a sippy cup. The routine of it all was nice at first, but in the end it left me feeling uncomfortable. They don't talk to me much about the things in my life they just don't get. They didn't talk to me much at all, really, but I've come to be okay with it. Anyway, while I was there I was offered some last remaining garden vegetables and all I can think to do is make soup out of them. I don't know if it'll be any good, but if you want to taste test for me I'll bring the entire shebang to the office tomorrow. [Ophelia] Anything I can do to help you in your newfound freedom?

So I got married!

It happened Saturday, or Sunday, depending on time zones. It was still Saturday here, but Sunday in Egypt where I got married.

Oh I forgot to mention I married Sirius Black. We met on Saturday, definitely on Saturday regardless of time zone.

It's exciting and adventurous and I never thought I'd get married, but this was the best way to do it: spontaneous, in a tomb and with great sex!

[OOC Added later] Threesomes are perfectly good valid gifts subject to our veto.

I do enjoy the first Hogsmeade trip of the year. The excitement certainly outweighs the chaos and additional activity in the Owlery.

Many of the shops in Diagon Alley have updated their displays early to reflect the changing season. As lovely as this must be for you lovers of Autumn, it has brought about a spate of pumpkin related incidents. As upsetting as such events can be, I would like to remind the general public that rearranging a collection of pumpkin models into lewd positions is not classed as a case that requires immediate attention from the Auror Department. I would suggest diverting your gaze, moving the models of your own free will, and educating your children about the flaws within the general population.

With all that said, if you know who is culpable for this pumpkin-readjustment-spree, please point them in my direction--If only so I can find some loop-hole to repay the several hours lost to this nonsense.

Ought to get one of those cards from St. Mungo's that gets stamped for every god damn time I'm admitted. Fill up the card, and get a free cup of coffee.
