No unusual powers, but finally a bit of luck. Been feeling a bit off without my weapon and this morning I woke up to Kingfisher sitting on the coffee table like it was just waiting for me. Should make any potential monster hunting go a little more smoothly. Going to hope my scroll comes through next. Or a less destroyed version of my uniform. Both would be fine.

When I was a kid, May 30th was a special day in our country. In 1971, it was moved to always be the last Monday of May and a lot of people look to it as the unofficial start of summer, resulting in numerous retail specials and sales (mattresses, barbecue supplies and outdoor gear, those kind of things).

It's common for countries to have celebrations for their armed forces or their politicians, but this one in particular is important to me. I wanted to share a bit of information about Memorial Day. It's a day where we honor, mourn, and remember those that have died in service. Somber, I know, and the majority of the military I know won't take offense to people wishing others a Happy Memorial Day. Just perhaps a reminder of what it means.

Coming here has provided a new twist, because I'm sure many of you know others that've fallen in wars we've never heard or dreamed of, have your own military traditions, or even may have died in service yourself and found yourself alive here. I'm hoping I can convince you all to use this day - this coming Monday - to not look at this as some random United States holiday, but a day we can all honor and mourn the lost, knowing they were doing what they thought was right, giving their all for it.

I'd also welcome anyone wishing to tell stories of people they know that've given everything for everyone else. What I wouldn't give to end all wars, but I can't bring myself to disrespect those who've died in them. I don't know if my words will bring anyone comfort, but if you need a shoulder or an ear, I'm here.

I thought it was coincidence at first, but it's been going on all day so I think it's probably about time to accept reality. Little dandelions and clovers and something else with a purple flower that I can't figure out what it is are sprouting up everywhere I go today, so long as, it seems, there's a bit of dirt or soil for them to do so. Even the tiniest cracks in sidewalks seem to not be immune to whatever this is. I feel downright druidic, which is to say feels downright wrong as I have never considered myself to have much of a green thumb.

Anyway, apologies if I walk past a garden or whatever else and it becomes infected with weeds. I really have no idea how to turn this off.

--So. Quentin's here, huh?
--How are you doing with that?

Don't know if I'll ever quite get over seeing a list of names like that.

What can I do?

[GRIMMAULD PLACE + HARRY POTTER]

I can't be here

Oh my god

I need to stay somewhere else for a couple of days, I think.

DORA.
Where are you?

FRED. [added shortly after.]
Any issue if Dora and Teddy come stay at the Burrow for a bit? And if that won't work, at least until we figure something else out?

Just when I got her home

To everyone who lost someone, I'm sorry.
