WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF 1998 AND 1999.I know Justin posted about it, but do any of you know if you’re definitely going to the Seminar today? I figured if a lot of us are going, we could just meet up and go together. I'm going, obviously!

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t ever imagine life without them, and I know there are some of you who have much larger families, but sometimes I wonder if five kids is just too much. My sisters are driving me crazy. Not in a completely bad way, but the twins, Maegan and Pippa, who are the youngest, never want to do anything but play with me. They won’t settle for Mallory and Hayden, and they have so much more energy than I do, and I rarely have the will power to tell them “No, I’m tired,” (and when I do, they don’t usually listen). I can’t keep up with them between the work programme, Muggle Studies, and NEWT classes and the beathing prob-, but when they wait for me to come home from these different things, I really can’t tell them no. It’s probably one of the best feelings in the world to see how excited they get when I come home, but Merlin’s beard, nine year olds are exhausting.
They really love it when Mal, Hayden, and I are all home. It’s kind of weird to think that it’s usually Maegan and Pippa at home instead of all of us. I never knew what it was like to be left behind when you’re older siblings go off to school. It must be pretty lonely. They keep me so busy when I'm here, and I have to be covert with my journal usage around them, because good Merlin, if they find out I have a journal, you'll hear nothing from me but pink butterflies, green alligators (Pippa's favourite), and smiley face suns from here on out.
But basically, I think I must be getting old. It's a shame, only being eighteen and all.

WARDED TO SELF.The right lung did not heal properly. It makes breathing sort of...well, difficult, and my voice sounds a little different. I know it could be a lot worse, and I think this is something I can just get used to in time. Then again, I guess you can get used to pretty much anything in time. It's just hard having something so essential as breathing affected by this injury. It makes everything more difficult.

WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF 1998 AND THE DA.I am finally out of St. Mungo's. Well, actually, I got out yesterday but Pippa and Maegan wouldn't allow me to do anything but play with them. I felt pretty much alright all weekend, but I think my dad kept me a bit longer than necessary. I don't think I've ever been so happy to be home, the hospital gets so boring.

WARDED TO SELF.Sometimes I feel really bad worrying my parents so much with all this Dumbledore’s Army stuff. I think they were mostly oblivious for the majority of the school year, but then…after the Battle, well. They were decidedly not oblivious then. They found out a lot of what was going on during the year during the trials, and now they know what happened with the whole Megan rescue mission. I don’t know if this makes me sort of selfish, but I never really thought too much about what it must be like for them. I mean, it must really hurt them to see me get so hurt. Well, actually, I know it hurt them. Mum cried, and dad actually has to have me as a patient in the hospital he works in, and I don’t think they really understand.
And then it’s really hard trying to explain things to Pippa and Maegan. I wish I could just keep them in some kind of bubble where they never hear about or see bad things. Mallory and Hayden can go in there too.
Wayne told me he doesn’t understand why we still have to get involved in these things, and I don’t really know what to say. To be honest, I really thought we were going to be done with all of this stuff and the DMLE would take care of everything. Then again, I didn’t expect Megan or anyone else to get kidnapped either. Still, I don’t know if this is being arrogant, but I’m really not sure if the DMLE could have gotten Megan back on their own. At any rate, I think we must have been a help, and who knows what would have happened if we didn’t handle things exactly the way we handled them? I guess, in the end, the reason why we still get involved, or the reason why I still get involved, is because we didn’t have anyone to help us when You-Know-Who Voldemort You-Know Who was still around. We had to try and do things on our own and stick up for ourselves, and we definitely could not depend on the adults. I think it’s going to take a while to get over that.
Of course, it’s not like I’m going to be doing much of anything for a long time. Lung still does not look good, and dad’s starting to look more and more defeated. I guess it could be worse?. It just hurts still, and I wish it wasn’t so hard to talk, but I guess it really could be worse. I could be dea-
Yeah, it could be worse, definitely. Unrelated observation- I was looking at my journal today, and I use wards far too often. Maybe I should be more public friendly, but maybe not. I certainly wouldn't want all this public, and I don't have much else to say.

WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF 1998.hi i’m okay. something’s wrong with lungs. dunno if they’re gonna be right again, dad’s worried, mum cried a lot but-. mal brought me my journal. would say more but kinda hurts to write. dicta-quill would be much worse though, hard to speak. hope that changes soon. don't worry though it'll be okay.
we did it guys and i missed you megan. dunno if i can move right now though, and i'm positive my dad won't let me. both convenient and inconvenient having him as a healer. ugh.

WARDED TO HARRY, NEVILLE, GINNY, LUNA, HERMIONE, AND RON.Okay, I just want you to know that this is nothing more than suspicion and speculation, but I've been talking to Justin, Susan, and Zacharias about this, and Justin recommended I should bring it up to you lot anyway.
I don't know for sure what Bianca's motives are, and I really do hope they're good, but I would be lying if I didn't think it's a bit suspect that her interest in joining the DA corresponds with the upcoming trials for the Inquisitorial Squad this month.
There's no way for me to prove that this is why she's interested, but at the very least I think it's a concern, and something to at least talk to her about.
