ANDROMEDA TONKS; oo1
Nymphadora stayed home from school today with a running nose and fever. She took it very well, surprisingly. She adores school and her friends there, and hates missing -- a shock, I know, to have a child who enjoys attending school -- but she was feeling so awful that it didn't take much convincing to get her back into bed.

I made up some noodle soup for her and set her up in the sunroom with a new book while I worked on a sketch. It is a good thing that I have a late shift at St. Mungo's. By the time Ted returns home from the evening news, I'll be ready to go. Hopefully Nymphadora will be feeling better by then; I'd hate to leave a cranky little girl in the care of my husband after a long day at work. Hopefully nothing too trying happened in his viewing area today. I really must remember to turn on the telly more often...
