Warded to Friends (Portia, Lucia, Sloane, Beatrice, Diedre, Laelia):
My darlings, I pray that you and your families are well after this danger. I beg all of you to leave me some sort of note here that you are well and unharmed.
Warded to Family (Lucius, Bellatrix, Regulus, Evan, Rodolphus, Rabastan, Celeste):
I need every single one of you to check in with me. You know how I worry about you all, and I cannot get out of bed on Healer's orders. I'm mostly fine, but he is worried about the baby. Given my history of mi I need to know that you're all right. Bellatrix, I saw your entry, but it said nothing about whether you were injured at all.
And our comrades? Are they all present and accounted for too?
Warded Private:
I am so angry right now. If I don't calm down I know that I shouldn't question the Dark Lord's motives, but I have a hard time believing that he could possibly want to put any of us in danger, particularly all of us who are pregnant. What purpose could it have served if even ONE of us had lost her child?
Lucius is even more angry than I am, though I am certain that it's not at our Lord. I don't like it when he's

Warded to Lucius Malfoy:
Darling, love, light of my life, do tell me why we don't just have Sturgis Podmore stuffed and mounted in the library?

Warded to Bellatrix Lestrange:
Bella, darling, I must speak with you immediately. Do let me know when you have some time for your dear sister.

Has everyone come up with their costumes for the masquerade yet? I just love dressing up in costumes you wouldn't normally get to.

Warded Private:
Andromeda has been pressing on my mind lately. Oh, she's still clearly deranged, and she's diluted herself with Mudblood spawn. But I have to wonder what's prompting her concern. The lilies, the abundance of comments... I mentioned that I was ill several weeks ago, and Andromeda, the sister I refuse to acknowledge, sent a potion because she fretted and Bella didn. I didn't take the potion, of course, I'm not daft. It could have been laced with a poison for all I know. It probably was now that I think on it. Or that terrible, filthy husband of hers forced her to
Maybe it's the hormones talking - writing - but if she really didn't care about the family as Mother and Father, then why would she be so concerned? Is it some sort of trick? Is she trying to see if I'll divulge some of Lucius's extra hobbies? Is she really concerned? Is the child sick? Is the child dying? Do they need money? Oh dear Merl
Oh, I'll bet that's it! They need money, and she thought I'd be kind enough to spare something for her. She was cut off from the family vault, so it does make a great heap of sense. If she -- I can't sit by and let her fall into
When we get back to the Manor, I'll go to Gringott's. This week-end gives me a little time to think this over, and decide if that's a good idea.
Warded to Lucius Malfoy:
I think we should extend our stay through the week-end. It's so good to get away from the Manor once in a while, and I think the air is doing us some good.
Don't you dare say no!
Sudden holidays are always most welcome. It's been so long since I've been to Bath, and now I'm absolutely craving a Sally Lunn bun. I think I'll have Calla make a batch immediately, and fetch some fresh orange juice.
Especially the orange juice. Now that I've mentioned it, I simply cannot do without!

It's just so dreadful what happened to the poor girl in Hogsmeade. My heart goes out to her family. Better that she dies.
This werewolf is a blight on our society, and I, for one, will not stand for it. How many other children, how many other loved ones must be torn from us before we'll put our foot down? Oh, I know that it's not fashionable to agree with the conservative thinkers when it comes to werewolves. Say what you will, but, unlike vampires, a werewolf simply does not hold onto his consciousness and his humanity those three nights, and something needs to be done to protect the rest of Wizarding society. There may be a few members of that group who value the safety of others, but the fact of the matter is that the majority don't. Once they transform, you cannot guarantee anyone's safety. They should be put down. All of them.
While I don't necessarily agree with the werewolf legislation being passed around these days, I believe that something has to be done. We should not have to live in fear if, on a full moon, a werewolf has wandered onto our grounds. That child's parents should not have walked into a nightmare outside their own door. Something must be done, or else there will be more blood on our hands. Just don't ask me what because I leave that to the men the proper authorities.
Warded Private:
Madam Thompson assures me that I am quite pregnant. It's been years since I've felt this awful hopeful. One month and three weeks before I can say anything to anyone beyond close family. I am not taking any chances this time.

Do you have a moment?

Warded Private:
I'm still feeling poorly, and last night, I actually became sick. Thank Merlin that Lucius has been busy, and I forbid Dobby from telling him. I missed my time this month, and I'm terrified afraid to believe that I might actually be pregnant. Afraid's not quite the right word, but it's all that I have at the moment. It's all that keeps turning around in my head. What if I am? I don't know if I could stand to lose another baby, and I don't mean just mentally. I don't know if I can physically take the loss. Perhaps, I was destined never to
It didn't help matters to receive an owl from a worried Andromeda, along with a potion. She wrote that she didn't mean to upset me, but how can she think that it would be otherwise? The only times I've spoken with her in ten years have been angry words, and then she sent a potion simply because I'd written about not feeling so well. I miss her so much I miss her, much more than I ever thought I would. Oh, I don't like the way she talks these days, but she's alive, and she seems happy. And I know I'm not supposed to care if she cares, but, she was my sister first. Why should she care when Mother and Father
I miss Lucius. I know that he's busy, but I want my husband.

I've been feeling under the weather lately. I fear that I am coming down with a fall chill.
Warded Private:
I've been extremely tired this week, and feeling not at all like myself. I very nearly felt as though I might get sick yesterday. I will not get my hopes up, but it feels so much like what I remember last year in the beginning. It's too early to tell, but there's just something off about how I'm feeling.
Oh, please. Please. I want a baby so badly. Please, let me have this.

Warded to Calypso Bones:
I am so sorry I hadn't gotten with you before now. It's been such a terrible time since Kings Cross, and I saw that you'd had a terrible run-in, and I thought you might need some time. I hope things have calmed down and that this ward finds you in a much better place.
Pleasantries aside, we do still have the WSPCA Charity Ball to consider, and perhaps it will helps up focus on something good for a change?
