I've gotten lucky in that those in charge placed me in a house with someone I already knew prior to my arrival here, and that we've had empty space in this house quite often (I'm about to ruin this good thing, aren't I?), but I keep on thinking about how no one ought to decide for me what makes a family and what doesn't, and that no one ought to have forced me into a vulnerable situation with people I don't know. Or them, for that matter.
But that's life, I suppose.
JULIA & SIRIUS:
I suppose, what I'm really trying to say, is that I don't know how we fit into this government's definition of what counts as family. We wouldn't have been able to get married in Muggle England, not all of us - not even two men could have, in our time - but that doesn't mean we're something less than. Does that make sense? I feel I should have been prepared for the world to continue to decide for me who I am and what I am, but instead I am simply tired and I wish to decide that for myself.
