DISORDER JOURNALS

( cut for Stranger Things S1 spoilers, which Roger is watching because he believes that it will make him feel better lololololol - ALSO TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR DEPRESSIVE THEMES IN COMMENTS )

As the lovely Angelina Johnson predicted earlier I did get my promotion at work. She was just off by a while, no big deal. Anyway, they've apparently decided my apprenticeship is over and now I'm a fully fledged metal-charmer. Hurrah.

FRANCINE.

I don't care how many investigations you're doing tonight, we're celebrating at least.

MONTAGUE.

Unfortunately I have to talk to you.

Next week is Rare Creatures Week at the Silvanus Kettleburn Nature Reserve. If you're interested in learning more about unique and unusual magical creatures, there will be guided tours highlighting some of the more uncommon creatures in the UK. But I'd like to talk about one you won't find on any reserve: The Quintaped, rated XXXXX by the Ministry of Magic.

The Quintaped is exclusive to the Isle of Drear for a very good reason. According to legend, there used to be two different families on the Isle of Drear: the MacBoon clan and the McClivert clan. There was a lot of bad blood between these two families, which resulted in a duel between the family patriarchs. After the McClivert patriarch was killed, the McCliverts transfigured the MacBoons into deadly and monstrous five-legged beasts. They were resistant to all attempts to untransfigure them, and the monsters eventually devoured the entire McClivert family.

The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures attempted to untransfigure them as well to no avail. Which is unfortunate, because the Quintaped is carnivorous and especially loves the taste of human flesh. The Isle of Drear is so dangerous that the Ministry of Magic made it unplottable a few couple hundred years ago.

If you're interested in learning about more unusual (and slightly less deadly) creatures, stop by the Silvanus Kettleburn Nature Reserve next week! :-)

So how do you go about scoring an invite to a fancy Pureblood gala? You probably have to be related to somebody, right?

This Wizfeed article is bullshit. If they were going to rank dragons on deadliness alone, they should have just called it that.

Welsh Greens are excellent. The fact that you can watch them (from a safe distance, of course) without being eaten is the best part.

So, looks like Patronus lessons for us regular folks are basically 'illegal' now. All the more reason to keep practicing here. Do you think the Hills and Petersons would like to practice sometime?

Also, do you think we should do some sort of family Christmas thing here at the B&B, since they won't be able to be with theirs?

Also also, my parents have invited both you and Baz to join anything our family's doing, of course since you can't. I don't know if he'd be interested, or whether that would be too uncool.

How's Eurig? How are you?

I saw a cat that looked just like Mittens on Wiztagram. Are you sure he's not living a secret double-life?

[TONKS]

Thank you for the chocolates. I'm happy he made it back to you.
