Marauders!: An 80s AU

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.

Very good news: I've got a new lead for a new artefact. I won't tell you what, because it's a surprise (and I don't want anyone else to get his/her hand on it)

Very bad news: Apparently there is a civil war in Sudan. Muggles have been killing each other and foreigners. I think my whiteness sort of lets them know I'm a foreigner. It's the reason why no one else is willing to go.

Good news: There's a war and I won't have competition

Bad news: I'll be gone from the 29th of September until the 9th of October. Don't break Britain while I'm gone.

Andromeda,

My husband has a bastard son. It will be all over the papers sooner or later, and I wanted you to hear from me. Don't tell anyone. Please.

Narcissa

[OOC: the note is at first charmed to be a flyer from Madame Malkin's, when Andromeda touches it, the above note appears, the paper is charmed to burn after being read; and was not delivered by any of the Malfoy's regular owls and does not stick around for a response]

Everyone should be lining up to tell me how amazing I am. And yes, this is usually something people do just because they feel like it but they should do it extra today because LOOK AT MY BOOTHS THEY ARE GLORIOUS!!!

Why yes, I did install them myself! Thank you for noticing!
