[Hexed private to Victoire Weasley]

Can we have lunch sometime this week, please? I have news! And we haven't spoken in ages, it seems. (Maybe when you come to visit James? I'm almost always around.

[/Hex]

[Hexed private to Matthew Longbottom]

Matty, why have I not seen you in forever?

[/Hex]

[Hexed private to self]

Where is my planner?????

[/Hex]

It's almost October. How is it almost October? I think somehow I lost September.

[Warded to Colin]

I have a ridiculous question to ask you.

[Potters + Weasleys sans Lucy, Roxanne, Lily and Hugo Wards changed after speaking to Colin; friends also added]

None of you are to allow Bletchley into any family related events with Lucy in attendance until I am assured that he will not do anything of that manner ever again. That is not a request. That boy is not allowed near my sister. Or alcohol. Or my SISTER

Assist me and I'll offer hangover potions free of lectures for a month. Otherwise I will be forced to write to our grandmother and every aunt and uncle I think will care.

Nevermind.

Would anyone like cupcakes? I'm baking.

Over two years of training - two more years to go before this level is done.

Eric! I'm making us dinner tomorrow night. What would you like? Saoirse, will you be stopping by? You need to see our new china. I am not certain Eric fully appreciated it, and I know you will (also, I love having you over, was that surprising?)

Colin, you ought to come, as well (and Matt - why does he not read these, honestly?). Victoire, you too! And Lucy. I've passed my two-year qualification exam, so I feel the need to celebrate. With the new china.

I can't think what else I need to do that everyone else ought to know about. Except, of course, that I hope Dominique has a lovely birthday (I'll see you tonight, dear) and that everyone ought to wish her as much!



Oh, drat. Have to be off. I'll come back in a bit I'm certain, but we're about to

[Private]

It's certain!

If only Colin agreed with the 8 ball.

Lucy isn't a virgin. Lucy isn't a virgin. She isn't and I didn't know. She didn't tell me, or ask me about things or anything at all. I didn't notice. How did I not notice? I pay attention, I try so hard to pay attention, to not miss these things, but I didn't notice.

What else have I missed?

I'm not a good sister, am I? I'm suppose to know these things. She's supposed to want to tell me these things. Or to at least not want to hide them.

I'm dad, aren't I? None of Aunts and Uncles tell him anything, and now I'm him

She says she was safe. She says she was, but she's so young, she's only a sixth year, she's not...I want to say she's not ready. Merlin, I want to say it - but she's fine, isn't she? She's still Lucy because I didn't notice anything at all and that has to mean she was ready but what if she's not fine and I just don't know her at all and never did?

I don't know if I did. I don't know.

She's so different from me. She's so...confident.

Is it wrong that I look at her and see the little girl she used to be?

It is. It probably is. I can't just keep people as I want them because I'm not moving forward but

Lucy

It's Lucy. She'll always be a little girl to me and I don't know what to do. I don't know if it's worse that she didn't tell me but could tell a perfect stranger, or if it's worse that she's grown up that much, and I don't think she should have.

What if it's not the only thing? Not the only person? I don't think - I don't think I've missed anything. Not for Colin. I can't

I don't want to have missed anything.

[Eric]

Have you had any life-changing experiences I should know about recently?

[Victoire]

Go for a drink with me? Tonight?

[Lucy]

Congratulations to those of you who took and passed the apparition exams!

I am in charge of pie this Easter! The pie. Pies. What if I screw it up? I already know think I know your favorites, family, but I just wanted to double check, so that we have them all. Pie call?

In other news, I am absolutely certain that someone keeps rearranging the file room. Is there an order war of some sort going on? It was alphabetized this morning, but this afternoon it was all chronological. And there was an order I couldn't comprehend this evening, before I left.

It is most vexing.

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know I've had him memorized for so ( long? )
