Oliver!! Come home right this second! Please?! You'll never guess what just happened.
We were playing and she rolled the ball and I was talking to her and..
SHE SAID DADDY.
I can't believe it! She spoke! And you were her first word! |

| God damn right its a beautiful day. |

I wonder how long this euphoria is going to last. I've been walking around with a great big smile every since Oliver and I were married.
Of course, I still have to worry about the Ministry, but.. well I guess whatever happens will happen. I still refuse to submit to this registry. I won't bring my daughter up in a world where her bloodline matters. It doesn't. No matter what they say, it doesn't matter. |

I've tried to come up with a few witty ways to say this, but I think it's best to just get it out in the open.
Oliver and I were married on Friday. You're looking at Alicia Wood.
It was quiet and very small, but given everything that is going on.. it felt like the right thing to do.
This also means I have the legal right to hurt anyone who looks at my husband for too long. Back off, he's mine. |

I don't want to go through this again. I'm not less of a witch because my parents were Muggles.
At least I think they were. Gran never knew anything about my Dad and I've never spoken to my mother so I really don't know who my father was and if he was a wizard or not and Merlin this isn't fair at all. |

I can't go. I've been looking at this invitation since it arrived and trying to convince myself that nothing is going to happen and its safe to go back, but.. I can't.
The last time I was in that place I was hurt. And Tom died. And.. I can't just walk back into it like nothing ever happened.
I miss the Leaky. I know it wasn't the best job I could have had, but the people there were good to me. And I got to see everyone and anyone who walked through the door. But I just don't think I'm reay to go back. Not yet. |

In just a few months, Hope is going to be one. One year old. Can you believe it? I'm going to have to throw her the world's biggest party. Something befitting a future Quidditch queen, don't you think? |

Oliver's up to something. He made dinner reservations for us on Friday and even got a sitter. Plus he ordered me to look my best. I didn't point out that he stopped being my Captain years ago and orders aren't going to work anymore. Oh who am I kidding? Of course they will.
I'm going out tonight to buy a new dress. It's the last of my savings, but it's not as though I have anything else to pay for these days. I tried giving him money when we first moved in and he looked at me like I was mental.
Now the question is.. where in the world do I go find a dress at? |

I remember when a birthday for one of the group meant a huge night of drinking and celebrating. We'd all go out and party till the sun came up.
And now.. now I can't even remember the last time I've seen George.
So Happy Birthday George.. whenever you are.

Hope took a tumble today. I had set her on the sofa for two seconds and my little girl rolled off and hit her head right on the table. I feel so horrible because I should have been paying attention. Now I know that's silly because it was just an accident.
Still, she has a big goose egg on her forehead and I've been crying off and on about it like a fool. |

I don't like this. Maybe I just worry more now that I'm a mother, but this doesn't seem right. Of course it isn't right, but.. I don't even know what I'm worried about, really.
My first instinct is to take Hope away from all of this. But I can't just run away. What example would that be to her?
I just need.. someone, anyone... to tell me that things are going to be okay. Even if you know you're lying to me, just tell me anyway. |

Hope rolled over today! She's been rolling onto her side for about a week, but today while I was folding laundry she rolled completely over! Oliver, I wish you had been home to see it! I don't think I've ever been this proud of her before.
Now I'm worried about how long it will be before she's crawling and walking and getting into everything. She's getting too big too quickly. Soon she'll be saying Mummy and Daddy and then the next thing I know I'll have to send her off to Hogwarts.
Okay, so maybe I'm ahead of myself but that's how it feels.

My leg is completely healed. My Healer gave me the okay to return to my "normal life", but I'm not sure what that is. I suppose I could go back to work, but I'd have to find someone to watch Hope again.
I really do miss the Ministry. At least while I was working there I felt like I was doing something with my life. Not that being a Mother means I'm not.. but.. oh that doesn't even make sense when I write it. Maybe it's just cabin fever talking.
I just need to find something that keeps me relativley safe and has somewhat normal hours. As much as I'd like to be out there fighting along side everyone.. I don't think I could do that to Hope. Not when I'm all she has.

I've been out of Mungo's for a few days day. Thank goodness. Well, thank Oliver, actually. He was the only reason they released me early. It's rather amazing what he can do when he turns up the charm.
Speaking of Oliver.. In case anyone is looking for Hope or I.. we've moved in with him for awhile. Until my leg heals completely and I can find another job. (Does anyone know of anything that is flexible with hours? I can't leave Hope alone very much.)

I don't suppose anyone out there is looking for a tiny-little-barely-even-a-job job, are they? Because my neighbour has just informed me that she's moving to Dublin with her daughter and that puts me out of one baby sitter.
And I'm sure Tom wouldn't mind if I brought Hope in when it was an emergency, but I don't think bringing her to a pub is the right sort of enviroment for an infant. Especially not with the last two pub fights I had to help break up. |

Mrs Williams was kind enough to watch Hope for a few hours extra this afternoon, free of charge. I'm not sure what I would do without her help. I wish I knew where he ran off to, but then again maybe it's best if I don't. It would just be another reminder that he's not here and doesn't want to be with us. But what do I tell her when she starts asking after her father? Of course it would make more sense to worry about that sort of thing once she can speak, but I know it's coming.
I miss my friends. I can't really blame them for not coming around much. Who wants to sit in a dingy flat with a fussy child? It'd just be nice if they'd stop by from time to time. Hell, even an owl would be grand.
It's probably just jealousy talking. They have freedom to come and go as they please and I have to beg my neighbour if I want to pop down to the grocery. Not that I'm regretting keeping her, because I'm not.
I just wish I had him help. |
