Are the holidays over yet?

[Alec]

We are really going to need to do something because the next time I am ordered to show up at one of these stupid attacks I am pretty sure I am going to die. I'm sure you don't fucking care I'm not a shit dueler. I am actively not engaging. Anything I do send towards someone is poorly aimed. Because I can't look completely obvious that I am not actively involved. I narrowly avoided capture

This was never the life I wanted but it was the life my father expected so here we are.

[Eris]

Sorry I could not help you and Hector the other day. I was in no shape. I couldn't go to St. Mungo's and had to instruct Brendan what to do.

I don't know if I can fight them anymore. I feel like I am just going to land back being tortured by him again for my apparent incompetence. I am exhausted it is probably that getting me this way.

[Brendan]

I don't like any of this. I don't feel in control of my own life.

{Heavily Warded to Alec.}

I cannot keep doing this. He was hurt, again. And I cannot continue to let this happen.

I don't know about everyone else, but I will not let these terror attempts ruin what is meant to be the best holiday I've ever had. If the pub decides not to host the party, I'll find somewhere else to do it. We're having a holiday event one way or another. We all need the cheer right now and something to look forward to.

| Trevor |
You're still in this with me, aren't you?

| Peter |
How are you feeling? Can I bring you anything from the grocer?

This whole thing is why I want to live away from Wizarding society somewhere. Maybe a nice unplottable cottage. I don't remember the last time Death Eaters and Aurors clashed on an unplottable location.

| IS |
Who was injured?

We need to come up with a better plan. If we don't, we'll all be dead before someone can stop those Potter idiots from whatever they're doing.

| Terence |
I went for more potions for pain. We're obviously, as a house, going to need them.

How are you feeling?

| Hector |
When you're no longer injured, mon couer we should discuss a few things. Like, I no longer fit into the dress Alastair and I purchased.

| Eros |
Will you come look over Hector. You know how awful I am at healing charms.

| Amara |
Don't hate me. I'd have rather been there with you, you know it.

| Alastair |
Are you done giving me the cold shoulder or are we going to continue not speaking forever? You know I don't like chasing after people.

Usually, by now I've decorated the house inside and out. I'd have baked cookies with Kyal for hours and probably made enough that we would have had to give them away in preparation for the holidays.

This year doesn't feel like 'usually'.

| Edgar |
I'm tired.

Now that you're not off playing hero for a few hours can you watch the children? I can bring Charlotte and Noah with me to nap if you'd like. Then it's just you and Raleigh for a bit.

| Kyal |
I miss Christmas cookie normalcy.

| Eros |
Not off playing hero Healer I hope? I'd hate to hear you were hurt as well.

| Alice |
Since this may very well be our last Christmas on this earth, you and Frank should bring Neville over at some point so he and our children can bond a bit.

[Private: Cate]

I need a personal favor.

[Private: Pip]

We need to talk about the cats.

{Heavily Warded to Lestrange's, Avery's and Eris.}

Given the current state of affairs, Rabastan and I feel it prudent to make changes to our wedding. We will be moving from a public venue to a private one to ensure that all of you are protected and not at risk or in danger by attending and we will be moving the wedding out of country to a location that is neutral and outside the reach of England currently. As of now the scheduled date has moved from New Year' Eve to this coming Saturday, 12 December. Portkey's will arrive for everyone the night before and will activate at seven am that morning and then again later that evening to return you home should you wish to leave that evening. If you do not, there will be plenty of room for everyone to remain for several days if one so wishes. Think of this not only as a wedding celebration but a much needed holiday break for everyone.

{Eris.}

Darling, are you busy? I need a drink and some good company.

| Amara |
Are you attached to the idea of a formal wedding or could you live with being married in secret somewhere that I won't be arrested for being in public with you?

{Bones, Cate, and Moody.}

Bones! BONES! I NEED YOU COME TAKE A SEAT HERE. I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION I NEED TO ASK YOU AND IT CANNOT WAIT.

So...does this mean I'm no longer a trainee or am I back to being assigned to the boss?

| Moody |
You had better not actually be dead.

| Edgar |
What the hell do we do now? If Moody is dead everything changes.

| Hermione |
We need a new plan. One that doesn't involve getting anyone else killed!

| Alastor |
Are you feeling well enough on the lower doses of potions or do I need to up them again?

Providing, of course, the 'kinky ropes' aren't required if I do. Edgar might get jealous.

| Edgar |
When can we go home? I appreciate all Alastor has done for us, for me and the children, but this isn't our home.

| Kyal |
Don't over work yourself.

| Maggie |
How are you holding up?

A week in the hospital and my 'welcome back' was being owled four stacks of paperwork to look over for the new legislation. I guess that's a new meaning to 'light' work. I guess I'll be sitting at my desk instead of resting after all.

| Mandy |
How are you holding up? Do you want me to bring you anything from home?

| Cassius |
That breakout never happened in our time.

You have to be careful!

YOU FUCKING DEATH EATER TROLLS.

MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD FEED YOU TO A DOG AND LET IT TEAR YOU APART.

HUH. OR MAYBE JUST FILL YOUR BODY WITH FUCKING INK.

OR POTIONS. I WONDER WHAT YOUR BODY WOULD FEEL LIKE FILLED WITH DRAUGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

(sometime later that night the post appears as a big ink spill)

{Filtered to Ella.}

Puis-je encore rentrer à la maison?

[Brendan]

So Moody is really dead? Does that change things?

Also, I tried to find out more about Alec but can't really find out. I just know he is not in the best shape.

[Eris]

Minster of Magic huh. Guess we really need to work on that quick and quiet wedding then.

| Terence |
Moody's dead?
Wasn't he used to get close to Potter?

Fuck.

Please tell me it's the potions. I didn't just read that we somehow fucked up the Dark Lord's return in 1994. We didn't make things worse.

YOU FUCKING BEAST.

| Peter |
I don't
What do I d-



It hurts so much.
She's just
gone.
