11 May 1980 [May 11]
WARDED PRIVATE:
I don't even know what to think. He can call off the vampires and werewolves. I know it's because he's controlling them, and I don't want to hand over my freedoms or my life to him, but what else is there to do? If it ends the war and people stop dying... I just don't know what to think anymore! I'm not going to say anything out loud or anything. That would just be suicide! I'm not brave. I may be mouthy sometimes, but I'm not brave. I just want this all to be over with.

WARDED TO GAWAIN ROBARDS:
Do you know anywhere off the record that I could get a portkey made by a trustworthy source?

WARDED TO GAWAIN ROBARDS:
Do you think I'm useless?

Scratch that. Apparently, everyone thinks I should leave the country.

9 Apr 1980 [April 09]
WARDED PRIVATE:
Oh God! Why are there vampire attacks and vampires killing their assistants and everything the last few days? I haven't been outside for days. It's been so overcast here, and I can't make myself go anywhere. I don't want to sit here, biting my damn nails, and worrying if I set foot outside of my door, will it be my last? If they're attacking people, are they still going to be looking for me? I mean, they didn't finish me off the last time.

It's weird, though. I knew that Nick Harrow. Well, sort of. I mean, we talked a few times, and I met him once at the MacDougal's castle when I was "dating" Madog. He seemed the okay sort. He even wrote about how to kill a vampire in case of an attack. I mean, that could go both ways, right? Someone who didn't like him, could have used that against him. Looks like they did. Or he really did go insane and kill his assistant and then threw himself out of a window.

I don't know what to think.
WARDED TO ANGUS & MADOG MACDOUGAL:
I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about your friend. He was a good man, judging from the times I talked to him (and the one time I met him).
WARDED TO GAWAIN ROBARDS:
Don't suppose you have some time to talk?
WARDED TO EDWARD WATKINS:
Do you have any time off this weekend?
WARDED TO MIRIAM STROUT:
Do you have any time off this weekend?

27 March 1980 [March 27]
It's only been a month without Quidditch, and it feels like so much longer. Guess being cooped up in bed for most of that time will do that to a person's sense of time.

WARDED TO MADOG MACDOUGAL AND KAMAL NEHRU:
Remember how we did that volunteer thing over the Christmas holidays at the hospital? I know I'm going mad without Quidditch, and I imagine it's the same for you too.

Would either of you be keen on doing that again?
WARDED TO MIRIAM STROUT:
Do they need any volunteers at the hospital? Again.
WARDED TO GAWAIN ROBARDS:
Nothing really. Just wanted to say that I love you. And thanks for not trying to embarrass me the other night when I

Warded to Miriam:

MIRIAM.

I was listening to the wireless just now. Dorcas Meadowes was killed last night!

That's another person from my year at Hogwarts! Florence, Jonathan (presumably; I mean he's MISSING), Persephone, Gavin. And they TRIED to kill me! Who's NEXT? Marius? Deshan? Romana? Amala?

14 March 1980 [March 15]
Three weeks without Quidditch or practise. I think I've read more books than I had time to before, which is good. At least I'm knocking back the books I had stacked on my table. But then what happens? What happens when I'm done with those books and don't have anything else to read?

I suppose I'll have to get a job. A regula

Warded to Emmeline Vance Warrington:

Hello, Emme! I hope you're not reading this now, but I just wanted to say that it was such a lovely wedding. You looked beautiful, pastry puffs attached to your head or not. What on EARTH possessed Cecil to go with powder bl

Congratulations again, and I can't wait until you get back from your honeymoon! I hope there will be photos!

Warded Private:

Fear and boredom is a terrible combination. My flat smells like bloody garlic, and I really hate people hovering over me. But at least I'm alive.

Warded to Miriam Strout:

Gawain seems to think th

I'm not really sure if this is going to be a thing or not, but Gawain seems to think that I need an escort of the Auror persuasion to Emmeline's wedding. Since he was involved in that skirmish with that one family, he thinks it's a good idea if it's not him. See, he - I think he's going to ask Edward to be my escort. And before you make the "Edward WATKINS?" question, yes, that Edward. Which other Edward is there who is an Auror that we both know?

At any rate, I just wanted to sort of warn you, since things went spectacularly down the toilet. Please don't tell me that you're taking Gideon because I will

24 Feb 1980 [February 24]
Why is hospital food so terrible? Patients would get better faster with better food. Then again, the blander the food, the quicker you want to leave. Three days now, and I'm already wanting to get out of this bed and go home.

Does Does anybody know if it's true that vampires can't go into a living person's home without an invitation?

Just writing that little bit has made me so tired.

16 Feb 1980 [February 16]
Currently HIDING this under the bar so he doesn't see this, but I just wanted to say:

Happy birthday, Gawain!

Warded to Gawain Robards:

And I love you. Didn't think you'd want everyone to see that.

PRIVATE )
Warded to Edgar & Calypso Bones, Sturgis Podmore, Rufus Scrimgeour & Joanna Podmore, Morgan MacDougal & Nick Harrow, & Emily Prewett:

Hello everyone! Just a little reminder that the reservations have been made for 8pm on Tuesday, 16th February. I've included the address, in case you've never been there before. If plans have changed, and you can't make it anymore, no harm, no foul. Just leave a message so I know that we won't have to wait for the cake cutting or ordering or anything.

The Moon and Sickle
568 Grove Street
Bath, England

Afterwards, we'll likely head to the Toil and Trouble. Mr Podmore, I'm still including you on this, since you'd said you might still be able to come to the pub. You're absolutely welcome to bring your girlfriend, too!

Warded to Calypso Bones:

Were you still making a cake, or should I think about getting one somewhere? I don't want to put any pressure on you! I don't mind either way, really. I bought candles. I thought about those really stupid trick candles that keep lighting back up, but I just can't do it.

Oh, and just so you know, he DOES know I'm doing something that night. He just doesn't know who all is involved. Thank you for the advice!
It's kind of nice to have this weekend off. I get to go shopping for a good friend's wedding, spend some time with my best mate, and catch up on some reading! What plans does everyone else have for the weekend - minus Valentine's Day! I don't want anyone to give away anything that might be a surprise!
