This is getting extremely out of control. I want to know what is going on. Windows being broken for no reason. At first I thought that it was just me. Maybe I had made someone mad, but now innocent people like Katie Bell and Fred and George Weasley, dare I say? There's hope though. There's always hope. I woke up this morning and found a letter underneath my door, and as I opened I realized that Fred Weasley actually does have a side of him that does care about other people. Tonight will be quite interesting. I have a couple ideas to present at the shop owners meeting, and I can't wait what ideas other people have. We need to put this all to a quick stop before things get worse.

Bloody hell, I don't even know where to start. If you've read the Daily Prophet within the past couple days, then you've most likely already read the article that Ms. Daphne Greengrass wrote about the vandalism at my shop. We've all been through enough in the past couple years, this is the last thing we all need. I'm really sorry to hear it if any of you have had the same problems as me. I can't believe how out-of-hand things are getting. If anyone needs a place to stay, two bright, intelligent women has put protection charms up all around my shop and home. Just OWL me and let me know. You won't be any bother at all. Also, if any of you see a wand, please contact me!

Atleast one good thing came from playing for Puddlemere U for so long. What is it? That I made enough money to make it through after this tragedy that happened in Diagon Alley lately. My shop is coming along, grand opening is coming up soon as a matter of fact. But right now, most importantly is my place to live. It's right above my shop like it always has been. And it's extremely nice, I'm very impressed with the capenter and designers work.

I love coffee! I couldn't live without my morning cup. And thanks to a wonderful meeting I had with Lavender Brown, I found my new favorite coffeehouse. Has anyone heard of Latte Swirls? It's amazing! They have tons of selections. Lavender and I both fell in love with the place. So much so that we asked them to cater at our joint grand opening. We had an early morning meeting where we discussed many plans about our shops. We've come up with some great ideas and hopefully you'll all see them soon! I better get going. I have a lot more last minute things to do and then everything will be prepared.

This week has been boring. But busy, nonetheless. I haven't been a social butterfly with any of my friends. I've been meeting with distributers, making plans for the grand opening of my shop, and doing last minute things to ensure that Magic United is all that it can be when it opens.

Tomorrow morning, I am to meet with Lavender and discuss the opening of our shops. We have decided to have a joint grand opening, which should be interesting. I don't have much to say. I should get some sleep so I'm up bright and early for my meeting with Lavender.

Today was a great day. By far one of the best since I've come back to Diagon Alley. I went to lunch with my ex-girlfriend, Lavender Brown. It's the first I've seen or heard from her since she broke up with me by Owl. She's as beautiful as ever. Sometimes I wonder why I don't ask her out again, but she broke up with me. If she ever thinks we should be together again, she'd make the first move. I wouldn't allow myself to go crawling to her, begging for her to take me back, when as far as I know, I didn't do anything wrong to mess up the relationship we used to have.

At lunch, we discussed many things. She did a tarot reading on me and I even convinced her to do a one-card reading on herself, which didn't turn out so great. We discussed what we both did during the war, my parents, why she broke up with me, and all sorts of things. One of the highlight topics we talked about what the grand opening on our shops. We both used to have shops down the street from each other, but now we are next door to each other. We decided to do a joint grand opening. We're meeting again for lunch sometime later this week to discuss plans and ideas we both have. I'm still waiting for the Owl.

Lavender brought up the question of whether or not I'll be hiring help for the shop. I didn't even think of it until she said something because I always used to run my shop by myself, but I know things are different now. There's so many more people now looking for work. I think it'd be nice to employ at least one person. Maybe I'll send out a notice to be put up around town. Hopefully I'll get some hard-working and dedicated applicants.

The other day I was doing some shopping in Knockturn Alley. In Knockturn Alley, I turned into my clumsy self and lost my Hand of Glory. How can someone lose something like that? I don't even know and I'm the one who did it. That Hand of Glory is going to be worth a lot to me in the coming days and I cannot lose it for any reason. In Knockturn Alley, I ran into Fred and Ginny Weasley. I ran into Fred as I found my Hand of Glory. I'm hoping with every drop of blood in my body that he didn't see my put it back into one of my shopping bags. That's someone that people cannot see me with, concidering it is a dark magic item. Anyway, I cut off my chat with Fred and Ginny quickly because I didn't want to risk them seeing anything I had in my bags. I'm a good person, but not even good people can do everything right.

With every day, I get more and more excited about reopening Magic United. The shop is mostly set up and my apartment is completely finished, so I now have a comfy place to sleep at night. That's great news, right journal?

I can not believe how devestating it is. It has taken so many lives and just twisted them until nothings left. So many people faithful workers have lost there jobs, and practically their lives. Unfortunately, I can't say that I am much different. I returned home from my parents' house a few weeks ago, and I came back to nothing but a pile of ashes that used to be my job and apartment. I put seven years of work into both of them all for nothing because now I have to start all over. It's horrible to think that there are people out there that would do things like this, but I suppose it's something that I have to come with terms with. I mean, look at all the years I was in Hogwarts. Harry Potter brought so much action to that school, and not much of it was so good for him. And I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but every horrible event that happens, seems to get worst than the last.
