RUBY!!!

So I remember back in June how I really really really didn't want to be assigned to the DMLE and I'm not going to say why because it isn't very nice but now that it's October and almost November I think I'm really glad that's where I work now. I would never ever ever be an Auror or anything but it's nice to be able to help even if it's just helping people fill out their paperwork or getting them coffee when they're tired. I'm good at filling out paperwork and getting coffee I think! Plus I get to work with my friends and I think that is my most favourite part of working here. I'm glad the Ministry made us do this work programme thing because someone a while ago said that after Hogwarts your friends change because I guess we all go different ways and I'm glad that didn't happen with all of us because even though I like making new friends and I think I have made new friends I like to keep my old ones too!

Hi, Sun Hee.

Hi, Daddy!

WARDED TO IMRAN.

Hi, Imran! Do you maybe still want to go on that outing with me that I won at the auction? If you do I think that maybe a picnic would be really fun and I promise to have the house elf pack our basket but if you have any requests or anything I could make sure that they're in there. I don't really know where it should be so if you have any ideas let me know but I think if we can't find anywhere it could just be in my backyard. I hope you want to. I've been really really busy lately and I think it would be nice to have an outing with you. If you want. If you don't want to that's okay or if you think a picnic is stupid that's okay too I can think of something else.

WARDED TO THE MWP MINUS MILLICENT.

Hi sorry I didn't say anything sooner but I've been really busy doing other things but Fenrir Greyback is lying. I sent him another journal and two steaks and a shirt but I didn't send him any Wolfsbane and I know it was really stupid of me to send him stuff but Hortense was my best friend and seeing her name with the stupid things he says hurt a lot so I wanted to stop him and I should have known that he's just a stupid mean person and that he wouldn't give it back to me but I know better now.

I hope you don't hate me.

I'm sorry. It's my fault she was still here and so it's my fault she's not here anymore and I'm sorry and it's not fair and I'm really sorry.

Hi, everyone! I know some of you aren't sure of what you should wear to the auction so I have a few suggestions for you that I hope will help. Imran had a really really good idea of dressing up which I think is a really good idea because everyone looks handsome in a suit right and I bet the people who are wearing suits will get the highest bids because no one can resist a suit! If you don't have a suit you should consider wearing a really nice shirt and a really nice pair of trousers that have hopefully been washed and aren't wrinkled because I think wrinkles will really hurt your chances of getting really high bids and this is for charity so you should make the effort to raise as much money as possible. If you're not going to dress up the same thing applies to jeans and t-shirts because no one wants to bid on someone who looks like they're homeless right? I think it would also look really cute if you wore a costume or something but a good costume not a costume that hides your body because no one wants to bid on a blob of costume you know and I think if you're really really really adventurous you could totally go onstage without your shirt on because shirtlessness shows that you're brave and it's a really big plus if you look nice without a shirt but if your CHILDREN are going to be at the auction you should really consider leaving your shirt on but that's just what I think.

UM. I was trying to bake some biscuits and now the kitchen is kind of on fire and it's a really big fire so if someone could come help I think that would be really nice.

I hope they don't change their minds and put all of us on trial. I really really tried not to do what they said and they just made me do to myself what I couldn't do to Regan and then they threatened to kill me and I just don't want to go on trial for it. I want to forget that it ever happened and all of these trials just make it worse and worse and worse and I guess I understand that the Inquisitorial Squad members needed to go on trial but I'd just like for it to stop now please.

WARDED TO ANDREW, CICELY, LUNA, NIAMH, SUN HEE, & DADDY.

It's Sun Hee's birthday in TWO DAYS so I think we should celebrate by having a sleepover for her at my house house and not our house boat because we're living in my house house for just a little bit just because. Anyway I think we could all really use a sleepover right now and I wanted to make sure I let you all know right now instead of forgetting and having to tell you at the last minute or something. I know it's on a Tuesday and I know that Wednesday is the day after and I know that some of you are still taking classes so I thought maybe we'd start our party early so that we can get to bed early so that we can get up early! I've already started planning everything and all so I just need you guys to tell me if you'll be there and, Sun Hee, you should probably tell me your favourite foods and stuff just so I know what we should have for dinner. I'm really really sorry that we can't have this somewhere else and that my little brother will be there but if you ignore him or throw something at him or talk about your period he usually just goes away.

Oh my god I wish SOME PEOPLE weren't mean and really rude and really really selfish and so hard to live with especially when you have to live with them!

WARDED TO MR SCABIOR.

You didn't really kill Ritchie's mum did you? That man was just making up a story and you bought that food at the store right?

WARDED TO RAVENCLAWS.

Everything that happened before yesterday feels so silly now and I just wanted to say that I love you all even if you don't love me as much as I love you and if you need any help or even just a hug please just let me know and I will try to be there as soon as possible and I'm sorry that I gave up a little bit on some of you even when I said I wouldn't and I promise I won't do it again. I want to help okay? So just let me know how and I will.

I'm really really tired of people dying for awful reasons.

WARDED TO DADDY.

I'm sorry, Daddy. I think my brain stopped working tonight because I was kind of dumb and I'm really really really sorry and I hope you'll forgive me because I love you, Daddy, and I want you to love me too and I don't like that I only see you when you're sitting in your cubicle or when you're giving Francis funny looks or when you're angry with me because I said something wrong and I miss really really being your daughter and I guess that Will's mum and Morag's dad and Anthony's mum dying just made me think about how both of my parents are alive and I feel the worst for Will and Morag because they don't have any parents now because they've all died and mine are still alive even if we're not really a family anymore and I miss being a family and I'm sorry I got so angry at you and at Mummy after what happened at Hogwarts but Hortense died and other people died or nearly died and my feelings were really hurt and I didn't think you would care because I'm just me and I didn't know what else to do but I'll try really really hard to be nicer and more respectful and someone you can like but I need you to tell me you love me more and to give me more hugs in return because I just need to know okay?

WARDED TO LISA, MICHAEL, MORAG, & TERRY.

Hi, guys! Did you read Anthony's entry? Not the one about the parrot but the other one where you know he says a lot of stuff. I don't know what to think. Do you? I need help.

Hi, everyone! I don't know if you remember but my friend Morag is having a wizard auction and if you haven't signed up yet you should because it's going to be really fun and all of the proceeds go to charity which I think is an orphanage and it'll just be really fun. I'll be there and I'm probably going to bid on someone or even someones but I'm not going to tell you who! I just think we could all really use some time together because I went somewhere with a lot of my friends this last weekend and it was so much fun so yes! I hope you come and if you're a boy you should volunteer to be auctioned off and if you're not a boy or if you're not a boy who wants to be auctioned off you should still come!

Yesterday was Hortense's birthday and she would be eighteen now.

I miss her a lot.

WARDED TO CASSIDY PROUDFOOT.

I'm sorry I bothered you with that thing the other day but you don't have to worry about it anymore because he's not my friend now but thank you for offering to help. It was really nice of you and you're a really nice boss and I'm glad I get to work in the DMLE with you.

Today is a really bad day.

WARDED TO RAVENCLAWS.

Hi so I have something really important that I need to talk to everyone about so I hope you don't mind if I'm a little mean because I really do think that this is important.

We're all friends okay? All of us whether we want to be friends or not because we were all Ravenclaws and we were all locked in the tower for a really long time this year and we all spent a lot of time together and we all went through something really really awful this year though I know a lot of you went through more awful things than others but we were all there and we were all TOGETHER but we're not together any more. You can say it's because we've left Hogwarts but we have Muggle Studies together every week and we all work at the Ministry and I just know that we all still really need each other even if we don't want to ask or because you think you don't need us but I know you do. I know you do because I know I need you all.

We need to TRY to be together again because we can't keep treating each other like we've been treating each other. I know some of you are worried about going to this festival thing that Terry is talking about because maybe you think that we're going to be mean to you or maybe you're just embarrassed about doing something a little bit silly but it's okay to be silly because we're your friends and we're never going to stop being your friend just because you looked a little silly for an afternoon and sometimes it's just okay to be silly even though you don't really want to because you're there and you're going to be silly with your friends and that's just the point of it. You're going to BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

And okay maybe it won't end well and maybe we'll just be mean to each other but not going because of that is just giving up and it's sad and do you really want to give up on six or seven years of friendship without even trying to make it better? I don't even though sometimes I really want to but I'm not going to because I know that all of you are worth it. You are all worth the effort and I hope that we're worth the effort too.

So please come. Please please please please.
