They don't have interviews in Russia. It's looking better and better a place to move every day.

Just kidding, I'm not really worried about how I did. I think if my dad knew I'd had to even do that he'd break my wand and tell me that I'm a victim of a crazy conspiracy. And actually, I'm beginning to think that he might be right. Sort of. It's not as bad as he'd think it was, but the wizarding world has always been sort of secretive. I don't know. If feels like the longer time goes on, the more we're actually living in one of his fantasies and I don't like that. Maybe we all should just move out to the Muggle world. It would be easier and feel less like something out of a science-fiction novel.

Actually I probably just said that because I've been reading dad's books again. I've been checking in on him and he's not

Anyway, how are you three doing?

And is the werewolf capture unit being watched or whatever, really?
Because that's a bit dangerous when werewolves actually need to be captured.

I can't believe summer is getting so close. Well it isn't. But it almost feels like it is, since it's getting much warmer. I almost never want to go back to Russia anymore since it's colder there. But then I'd get fired, and I'd never get decent vodka. Which I'm running low on even though I was just there. I think I've been giving a bit too much out as gifts since I know I'm not getting drunk as often as fast as this vodka's running out.

I actually don't know where it's going.

Odd.

Nina, you didn't take it to give to mum, did you? Because she doesn't even like vodka and I'd bought her flowers already.

Honestly this isn't so bad. I met the Russian minister of magic once and he was halfway through a bottle of vodka and he tried to touch my make inappropriate gestures in my direction.

I guess it could always be worse.

Right?

...Don't say I said that about the Russian minister it might be confidential.

I really do need new pants.
Mine are all chewed.

[Warded to Wendy]
I'm really, really glad we're friends again.
I thought I'd just let you know that. Even without the other things. I mean that was. Well you were there.

But I'm really mostly glad we're friends again.

[End Ward]

[Warded to Brad]
So you probably noticed this but I'm friends with Wendy again.
Thank you for being great while I was being an ass.
I won't be an ass anymore.

[End Ward]

[Warded to Kenny]

You have to be nice to Wendy now. Promise?

[End Ward]

I'm back from Russia.

I almost wish I hadn't gone, with all this going on. I won't be going back until I can be sure none of my friends are going to be attacked while I leave, though. At least if I can help it.
I hope everyone's ok.

I'm on my way out the door for a week so I'm going to try to not be on the journals very much. Kenny, don't burn the house down. Nina, don't either. Brad, can you make sure he doesn't burn the house down?


Thank you.

See you later.

On the upside I've a trip on Monday and I'll be gone for a while. This is really well-timed.

[Warded to Kenny]

I HAVE A DATE WITH THAT GIRL YOU TOLD ME TO ASK. This is wonderful. Thank you, Kenny. You're brilliant. And I do not say that enough.

[End Ward]

I bet this Muggleborn play thing will be really cool.
Are Muggles allowed, because I think bringing my dad would be nice. Because he thinks the wizarding world is kind of scary and bad, and I want to show him that it isn't.

All I know is, I hope everyone's being really, really careful now.

[Warded to Nina]

Hi Nina.

We have a problem. Maybe it's not a problem. I visited home because clearly it's my week to eat dinner with them, and Dad cornered me practically. He was kind of scared. He asked me if they were in any danger from the bad wizards. And so of course I had to ask him what bad wizards. And he told me that he didn't quite know, but they were around. And they didn't like normal people. I asked mum later on if she'd told him anything but she hadn't. But she gets the Prophet, so I'm sure he's seen those laying around and no one had to say anything. Bloody hell. I don't want him to find out what's happening, at all. Because he's going to build a bomb shelter after all this and decide we're all freaks and disown us and probably live under the stairs with a tin hat from this day forward.

So basically, what I'm asking, is it unethical to hire an Obliviator to make our father lose all memory of anything involving wars or conspiracies? We could replace it with a nice normal hobby like trains or stamps. That could be ok.

[Warded to Ken]

My dad is It's been a really, really long week, Kenny.
Think of something amazing to do

[End Ward]

[Warded to Wednesday Hooper]
WHY DO YOU HATE ME?

[End Ward]

[Warded to Kenny]

I HATE EVERYONE

And also have you seen Nina's mouse?

[End Ward]

[Warded to Nina]
I'm sorry I called your mouse stupid I didn't mean it.

[Warded to Wednesday]

Hey! Just so you know I probably won't be at the party after all. Sorry!

I'M NOT GREEN ANYMORE!!

And I'm allowed to go to work tomorrow!! I CAN SEE PEOPLE AGAIN.
This is a good day.

OH! KENNY! You can move in anytime now, I spent this week rearranging my stuff for your room!

[BTW]
Please don't let rita skeeter say it was the russians or they might actually kill me.

I do think I need potions. [End Ward]

I think it's called dragonpox because you actually see dragons.

Huh.

[Warded to Nina Boot ]

NINA. Can you come over please? My skin is green and there are spots on it and it itches and I think it's dragonpox and I really do need to put my journal down now because the words are


yes I'm going to go sit down now.

BUT PLEASE COME OVER AND BRING LOCKS TO KEEP KENNY OUT. His immune system is fragile.

Oh and potions. Lots. Please. Thank you. You're my favourite. Sort of.

[End Wards]

NO ONE VISIT ME.

This has been a really, really long week. It's been a lot of explaining to Russian ambassadors why they shouldn't take their kids to England during hag week. Apparently the English hags are like NOTHING compared to the USSR hags but I had to keep telling them they were still dangerous. Because they are in fact still dangerous. Anyway. I don't think any of them are coming, so that's good. But I've been gone and now I have no food in my house except biscuits. Brilliant.
That's ok though.

So I found out today that Russia the USSR's Quidditch is starting too! That's exciting. I really hope one of our team isn't against theirs in the world cup though. Not because I don't think we could win, it's just because I'm not sure exactly how much celebration or consolation alcohol I could take. My Russian Ambassador friends like to party. And then if they lose, it's a different story and they'll probably be cranky and it'll be stressful and really I think I'll just watch British games for now since this is getting depressing!

So while you lot were all floo-emergency-ing, I was collecting vodka recipes. Did you know they made it out of potatoes? They do. It's brilliant. I don't really want to try to make it though. It sounds sort of illegal. And I don't like vodka very much.


And that was what I did at work today.

I guess I should ask this before Friday. What, exactly, does Creaothceann entail other than pillows and wastebaskets? Because I don't want anyone to die. And Scottish traditions are sort of barbaric and insane, no offense to any Scottish here. It's just a matter of fact. And I just got back from Russia so I'm still lagging a little. I'm tired.

Nina, stay on your side of the hall tonight or I'll send Vlad to eat your mouse.
