Jesse's gone.

There are a lot of people here who know me, or know of me, and I think I owe a great many of them an apology.

Right before I showed up here -- well. I defeated Voldemort. I mean, like, immediately before. I still have the El and I've sort of been just reeling from that and not -- not sure what to say to anyone. I've read the books now, my books -- seen the films I don't and I just got myself trapped in this strange cycle of self-examination, I suppose. Looking at what I've done; realising how easy it might have been to do things better or differently. It's a struggle, it's strange, when it's all laid out in front of me in chapter and verse. I couldn't really -- I couldn't square it away easily.

But, Hermione sort of dragged me to my senses, so I'm here now. I'm present. And I'm sorry.

There didn't seem a good time to mention it before and, well, I've only just finished exploring it myself - Hogwarts Library is here in Lawrence. I wished for it at Christmas but I've been building in a few safeguards, to stop it from falling into the wrong hands, and, well, what with everything, it took me longer than expected.

I've cast a fidelius charm on it: for those of you who don't know what that is, it means no one will be able to plot or stumble across it unless they have been told where it is by the secret keeper, which is me.

If I die get sent home, everyone that I have told, in turn, becomes a secret keeper. That way, I hope it will continue to be useful, even if I am not here to oversee its use.

Before I tell anyone where it is, however, I'd like to give a warning: while many of the books it holds are standard books of spells, magical histories and directories, that doesn't mean the knowledge they hold can't be dangerous. And there are plenty of books which aren't standard at all and are just down right dark. I hope anyone I trust with the secret of its location will honour that trust and keep any information they gain there safe and confidential. Knowledge is power and I won't stand by and let the library be abused, if I can help it.

That being said, if you would like access, please feel free to contact me. The spell books may not be relevant to many of you here, but there are plenty of books which will be. I just hope it can make some kind of positive difference.

Well, crap. I can use other words but it wouldn't be nice or Happened again. Second time in this place, bloody hell Forgot my own birthday. It was on the 14th. Though to be fair? There was a huge crisis going on at the time, people getting hurt and worse, trying to stop it, and the patrol stuff, and all that.

So. I'm thinking, I'd like to have a belated birthday party in my house this weekend. Anyone would be welcome to attend. I'll have lots of snacks and refreshments and music, and might even pop an action movie into the DVD. Probably.. Norris, Seagal, or maybe Arnold or something. I'll need a cake. Kind I really love is vanilla, frosting, and, well, pretty much designed as a Slytherin cake. So yeah, late b-day party on Saturday night, bring a friend, have a blast, etc. Ohh.. and there will be magic too if anyone might like to see me demonstrate some of it. Especially fireworks.

The house is located here [address]. Party will be ready to start at 7pm.

So is everyone keeping warm with this crazy weather being unable to make it's mind up on a temperature?

[Jesse]
How's your driving doing in bad weather conditions?

[Werewolves]
Is everyone enjoying the hunting grounds? And are there any wolves who don't know of it who would like to see them?

You'd think after such a long time here I'd have realised the numbers on the toaster device correspond to minutes. I truly believed it was some kind of degrees of toasting of the food

I hate to be the one to raise this, but with Loki gone, we will need a custodian for our building. And with the librarian girl gone as well.

Our ranks have been diminished haven't they, still there are newcomers. Even some, I believe, that have magic. So if you are of that inclination and have no idea what this is about? My name is Anastasia, known to some as the Red Queen. Ask away.

[Magic Users]

Hey, Scorpius here. So a couple of us have been patrolling lately. I also talked to Giles about magic, and I think we should be able to contain or restrain a threat without killing them. Those of us from Hogwarts, I know there are plenty of charms, hexes, jinxes, that can effectively deal with someone if needed. And it is very needed And we can teleport too if we have to get somewhere fast, those of us of Hogwarts at least. I know this person has nearly killed people here, but.. well. I'd prefer to not sink to that level. I choose not to take life. To not be like them.

Of course it would help if the identity of the person was known, and not just who they are, but also what they are. The what could be important. Hopefully its not of a species that is resistant or immune to magic. Either way, this thing needs to be stopped before they do any more damage. But I think we can do this if we work together. So if you'd like to plan strategies and magical solutions, maybe we can meet somewhere to discuss it. Oh, and Giles' post is here if any more of you might wish to sign up for patrols or to give him more ideas of how we can help.

So, with all these seemingly random attacks. I'm thinking of patrolling around the city. Obviously, it's a big city. So, anyone wanna help? Might help us catch the guy next time.

It's a sad state of affairs when kiss a ginger day doesn't get me avoid snogging. I miss I suppose he wouldn't even

Well, this is weird.

Well, latest seal hijinks could either be really annoying, or really hilarious.

[Elena]

If you wake up, and I'm not there. I'll be back soon. The seal sent singing mistletoe, which says you have to kiss someone in two hours, or it'll curse you. But, it will then pass that curse on to the person you kiss.

So, definitely not passing that onto you.

Happy Christmas to me, I decided to use my wish to get my broom and wand. Was going a bit mad without them.

You recovering all right from our near hypothermia experience?

Harry, where are you? I need y

These wish baubles are peculiar things. They rather chillingly remind me of the Prophecies

I'm tempted to wish for Hogwarts library, simply to do more research on them but that seems like such a selfish wish when this world is on the verge of relapsing into apocalypse. There must be something more useful we can wish for.

Oh and for those who have been skirting around talking to me frankly for fear that you may let slip that I'm fictional in this world, I know now. I've finished reading the first book and I'm part way through the second. I know how the story ends so there's no need to worry about "spoilers".

Have you ever wanted to laugh, cry and scream at the same time?

Looks like a lot of good wishes happening now. Houses, money, powers, family memories.. all good things. So I'm about to make my wish in a bit. I already know what will be. I just want to make sure I make the most from it, word it correctly. I'd thought of wishing for my family home. Or being as awesome with magic as Dumbledore was in life. Or to have an Elder Wand which accepts me as its owner. Or for my family album. But, I've chosen to do something that would benefit not only myself but others too. I'd made it once before Quidditch equipment.

I'd picked out a spot for games, wide open field, last time I was here. Put protective charms around it. But it lacks something. There's no thrice metal posts with their rings, or spectator bleacher stands, thin towers, banners, everything usual present during the game back in school. So, today. I plan to go there with my empty trunk. I'm going to attempt to wish again for quidditch equipment, but also attempt for it the wish to include everything needed on the field as well. Hopefully it works if I word it correctly. But if not.. if it only grants me the box full of playing equipment (quaffle, clubs, snitch, bludgers), help will be needed soon to create the field structures. I'll know for certain shortly and shall update my report accordingly.

A merry Yule to all!

You know, when I wished for memories of my kids and my future, this wasn't quite what I had in mind. As much as I appreciate being definitely old enough to legally drink in Kansas now, aging 8 years in the space of a minute is an experience I certainly wouldn't have actually wished for.

Note to self: next time this happens BE MORE SPECIFIC.

Hello?

[Pause]

If anyone's listening, I think I need some help. I'm...

[Pause]

I'm lost.

Does no one else tire of this place? Of fighting so hard with each other?

There is so much anger and accusation thrown back and forward. And lately it seems to be about belief. About ideas and opinions. What right does anyone have to belittle another person for daring to believe in something. For daring to have their own opinion and holding true to that. Aren't we better off with a larger number of different ideas?

Marian's father called she and I dreamers. And maybe that is what I am. There goes that idealistic fool from the Middle Ages going on about peace and love and forgiveness again. But I have seen men at their worst. I have felt it. And despite it all I am naive enough to dare to hope that those of us stuck here can all be at our best together to see this through. Because at their best even the smallest person can do extraordinary things. Even if we disagree. Even if we don't share the same beliefs or for some reason personally offend the other.

I do not mean to accuse anyone in particular with this. I can be guilty of it too. But I know in the end I would do whatever it took to help anyone here. Because I held to my belief that you all feel the same way toward everyone else. Sadly I am beginning to think I was mistaken in that.

So on top of being the kid of two of the most badass, awesome wizards OF ALL TIME...

I'm also Indiana Jones' kid!

Frankly, it's a good day to have this face.
