Lavender Brown

I for one never thought I would be so happy to start school again. This means my time at the Ministry has officially ended! You may join me in rejoicing!

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm rather excited to see how this new publicity stunt will work out for the professional Quidditch Teams. It might be interesting to see some new faces on the field as the regulars keel over from exhaustion.

Anyway, dearest Vati of mine? I did get your note the other day while I was sleeping, and thank you so much for not waking me.

Right, so now that things have started wearing down summer-wise, my job has started wearing down hours-wise. I really have no idea why they needed ME to do all that. But it's days like yesterday, when I put in everything I have, come home so tired and ready to DIE then my father will come in, sit next to me put his arm around me and say something terribly sweet like "I know you had a rough day, sweetie, but I'm proud of you." and I'll just absolutely melt.

Right. So going to curl up in a corner and hibernate until Mondy, I think.

Did anyone else hear about the natural gas pipe that exploded in muggle Belgium recently (either yesterday or this morning)?

We have family in the area we've been trying to contact, but we haven't heard anything yet.

Might be a valid excuse for a day off

Right. So, my father got me an internship over the summer at the Ministry. That's why I haven't gotten around to this in... forever.

I absolutely hate it.
Who does he think he is
Why does this


Right. So, that less then happy "go-for" running around? That'd be me.

What Merlin's name is going on?

I'm in Hogsmeade, and I should be in school.

I'm scared. I can't find Vati anywhere! Has anyone seen her?

I need her with me!

( Private to Parvati )

I think I finally realized I'm procrastinating.

After a weekend of tons of fun, I'm carefully considering what to do with myself today. The only thing that has jumped into my mind right away was 'you should study!' but that was quickly overturned by 'oooooh! nail varnish!'.

So what am I doing?

Neither. I've been doodling for a good half-hour or so. Then I decided I hadn't written on this in ages. Where DOES the time go?

Oh dearest best friend of mine? Would you be so obliged to help me test out that new smelly varnish we bought this weekend?

I had to go and hide in the closet for a moment. If one more relative of mine says "Oh! How darling is that! You smell just like your namesake!" I will hurt them. Badly.

How sad is this, I'm WISHING to go back to school. So I can see my wonderful girlfriend again At least I know what to expect there.

See Vati, I told you I wasn't THAT sick. In fact, I'm feeling better then I have in ages. Little things adding up, I suppose.

SPRING IS SPRUNG, THE GRASS IS RIZ!
I WONDER WHERE THE BOIDIES IS!

Right. OK. That's out of my system now. I honestly don't know what came over me Well, actually I do, but it is none of your bus It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do for one. Did anyone else besides me forget it's Mothering Sunday tomorrow? I suppose I should send my owl while I'm thinking of it and not let Vati anyone distract me!

( Private to Vati )

It's tremendously wonderful what pampering yourself for an evening can do. My hair has never been more manageable, my nails have never been so shiny, and to top it all off, I feel better then I have in ages. I'm sure there's other reasons for this too... but honestly, there's nothing like a girl's night in to pull your morale from the depths.
