( Thomas )
We are to be married July 22nd. Please owl me a list of anyone it would offend to not invite. Invitations will be owled out tomorrow.
How soon will you have a ring for me?
( Evan )
Unless I've been beaten to it, I have something to tell you.

The rain outside is rather dreary.
( Private )
Okay. I'm going to do this. I will not go unarmed, of course. No one ever knows how the man might react when forced into this situation. He could want to kill it. I won't allow that. Not again. The last two were only because I had no viable choice of a father. Thomas is a wonderful choice and the odds of it being his are high anyway.
I'm not looking forward to telling Matilda, however.
( Thomas )
I'll be by your office around noon. Try to make yourself available.
( Evan )
I need to tell you som
( Matilda )
Could you meet me for lunch around one, darling? That little place in Diagon with the biscuits you love?

Hmm... I'm feeling quite cheerful this morning. Perhaps I'll take Chloe out for a ride this afternoon. The estate is quite beautiful this time of year.
( Thomas )
That was a lovely night out. I hope your girl wasn't too terribly disappointed that you ditched her. She seemed to be getting rather familiar with my date before we left.

I'd like to offer my somewhat belated congratulations to my father, although I have certainly offered them face-to-face. I'd also like to thank everyone for the numerous congratulations given to our family. However, last but most certainly not least, I'd extend my continued condolences to the friends and family of the late Minister Bagnold. While this is a time of celebration for my family, it is all dampened significantly with the knowledge that someone died in order to further our rising. If there was a way to turn that back, I would. But dwelling on the past does little good. We must look to the bright future that is to come.

My condolences go out to all of the late Minister's friends and family. We were all hoping for a much brighter end to this story and it is a true tragedy.
(Private.)
Shit. Dead.
I really hope my father doesn't get the job... Even if I do randomly love the thought of being "the Minister's daughter." Not even I'm vain enough to think something like that a worthy trade for having a Death Eater in the Minister's seat, no matter how much I love my father.
(/Private.)
(Matilda.)
I meant to bring this up sooner. How would you like to take a holiday with me this summer?
(/Matilda.)

Public.
Attacking purebloods. I'm wondering how this makes the scum any better than the Death Eaters. The entire world is mad.

How odd. He didn't try anything at all. I could tell he wanted to, though, when we were dancing. I wonder what stopped him. Is it because of Matilda? If he's actually looking to date me, I will not stand for it.
News has reached me about Aiza's disappearance. Apparently he arrived home, disgraced, and then... he disappeared. The gossip is thick as smoke coming all the way through Spain, though, so I get very few details. I know it's not a coincidence, though. I know my family too well. I wonder who did it. Daddy? Lucius? I might suspect Evan, but he knows I lied. I'm putting my bets on Daddy.
I am not happy. I hated the man, but... I didn't want him dead. I don't know. I refuse to think about it, or I'll get sick. This is not on my head.

Matilda, love, I feel like it's been ages since I've properly seen you! With all this talk and trouble with the war, we must make time for just us girls.
Matilda.More specifically, time away from the watchful eyes of certain fathers and fiances?

Private.I have never been more supportive of Evan, Lucius, and Dadd and Lucius before. Those fucking Mudbloods! I swear, I almost wish the Death Eaters had succeeded in killing that Pinkstone bitch. The most aggravating part is not that I can't lift my right arm very high - makes putting on a necklace and earrings mostly impossible, not to mention make up is difficult but at least I'm left-handed - but my mother's fussing. She bumped her head, but that was the most major of it. She acts as though I've nearly died. I haven't been allowed out of this house since I left the hospital. I haven't seen Chloe, which I supposed is a good thing since I can't ride without jostling my shoulder too much, but at least I'd like to be able to wander the gardens. She acts as though I'll run off, which I'm very tempted to do right now.
And to top it off, she's already back on the subject of marriage. What will it take to get that woman to back off? She thinks I was nearly raped a week and a half ago! I think I'll try and go see Evan. He'll let me rant and he's usually pretty good at letting me work off my frustrations afterward. I'm really quite glad I let this happen with us. /Private.
Alecto.How's Tra Danny Travers? And how are And you? Don't think I /Alecto.
Matilda.How's your brother? And don't think near-death experiences get you out of the explanations you owe me. Spill. /Matilda.
Rabastan.How's Éliane? Is Addie doing all right with all of this? /Rabastan.
Lucius.How's Narcissa? And the baby? Do either of you need anything? /Lucius.
Cuffe.I recognized you, you fucking piece of shit! /Cuffe.
Well, that was loads of fun. Great way to get a point across. "Hey, why don't we blow up a social function where the Minister and a bunch of purebloods are so they'll realize how civilized and deserving of equal status we really are!" Of course no one would only see that as further proof that Mudbloods are a dangerous, unstable, undeserving group of animals.

"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else."
My dear Señor Aiza has found himself recalled to his home in Spain. Unfortunately, I am now minus a guest next weekend to my dear Éliane's dinner. I am not sure it wouldn't look entirely tasteless to show up without one, so I'm not sure what I will do.
I do think I need to get out of this house. It's stifling and there is far too much to dwell on. Evan, perhaps I could come calling tomorrow?
Private - added after the Prophet is brought to her in the middle of writing the entry.( more private ) /Private.
I have just received my family's copy of the Prophet. My condolences go out to Mrs Pinkstone and her remaining family. It's always a tragedy to lose loved ones and I do hope justice is swift.
