Is everyone safe?

It sounds silly, but I find it comforting to know that I'm not the only one going to be having a slightly lonely holiday.

I cannot keep this inside any longer. I want to tell them. I know they will inevitably be angry with me for it.

I should not have gone back. If I had stayed with my friends and not gone to the battle, Gregory would be alive, probably. Someone else would likely be dead in his place, but that would be another faceless victim, not one of my friends.

I want to tell them it was my fault, and that I am sorry. Whatever stupid impulse drove me to the battle, to attempt to help my peers, resulted in Gregory's death, and that is something I must live with. But do I want to lose the people I love just to express this guilt?

Fate is a funny thing. Perhaps if I had not gone to the battle, he would still have died. But is it his death or my involvement that weighs so heavily on me? I believe it must be the latter, if he had simply died without my witnessing it, I would feels like I felt for Vincent and not still be obsessively wondering. The guilt would not be there, and it is the guilt that makes me not want to seek the company of my friends.

I am inclined to concur with Draco. I know that due to events spanning over the course of decades, dating back far longer than I have even been alive, being a "purist" is synonymous with being violent or deceitful to further an agenda. But I've never thought that's what it's about, not really. I'm proud of my family and my bloodline, everyone else be damned. I would never wish ill on someone unless they wished ill on me first.

Is this really a circumstance we want to live in? To raise children in? Where boasting a title that just tells others what you believe and take pride in labels you as violent or horrible? Yes, some people are violent, some people are horrible, but some people are not, and you shouldn't lump people into a group based on their bloodline or a simple, abstract title they adopt.

At this point in time, Death Eaters are a minority in regards to purism and accusing anyone with purist ideals of being just like a Death Eater is unfair and is just perpetuating the cycle of absurd mudslinging and namecalling. People are just people, they have a right to be proud of where they've come from, and they have a right to be exclusive in who they choose to associate with. I don't believe anything is wrong with that, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

I don't think anyone should die based on belief or blood, hasn't there been enough of that? Can we not all stop and realise that we all bleed, we all die, we all live, and just leave each other alone?

I'm sorry for anyone who died this weekend, no matter what side they fought on. Sometimes I wonder why people don't realise that your personal feelings towards another human doesn't mean they aren't important or loved by someone else.

Millicent what on Earth 


Can't we all just have a little peace?     Vincent and Gregory and now Millicent. What do we have to do to stop losing friends? On every side? Can't we all just stop?

I tire of so much violence.

I realise that Pansy doesn't welcome the sort of bluntness I'm asking for, but do not sugarcoat the answer for me, please.

Millicent will die, won't she? Die or go to prison?

After everything we've had to go through because of Dumbledore's Army and the Death Eaters and the Ministry you'd think she would want to stop fighting I want Millicent back

And it's my fault that Gregory is go

I don't like the idea of losing another of our friends.

I would like to do lunch, my mother is being absolutely wretched to me.

005. [September 20th | 2009]
I wish I could move my birthday so it more sensitively accommodated the recent tragedies. I'm very sorry for anyone who lost a relative, neither of my parents have died but I know when my illusion of my Father was sh that not having one around after they've been there your whole life is hard.


I can't believe I've been alive nineteen whole years. It doesn't feel like it's been so long I guess. I still look at things and feel like I have no concept of what they are. Like I'm a toddler just discovering how things work or something.

I'm kind of pleased with my sentencing...it could have been much worse. Grandmother bought me a new dress, it's quite lovely. I feel badly for people who were hurt during reconstruction, I hope everyone recovers expediently.

I hope this winter is not too terrible, I prefer warmer weather myself.

I'm very put out by having to live with my grandparents! Mother says it could be much worse, but I know she doesn't enjoy it either- her hair is starting to gray! So I've been talking with my grandfather who agrees with me very much and he's willing to help me pay for a small flat of my own.

Now, I naturally want your opinions on if I should do this, and then there's furniture colours and location and what's affordable right now...

So please help me!

I bought a lovely pair of socks today. They're white, but made of this very comfortable material. My grandparents like giving me money.

I'm still running away. I won't play your hide and seek game. )
