Work has slowed down a bit, which is good considering how many people in Veritas alone Displaced. The last few weeks were extremely harried, not just in the workplace, mind you. Drinks, anyone? It's certainly been awhile!

So about that surprise brother I discovered.. long story semi-short.. when he was younger, way before Mum or Dad had me, he was a bit ...tyrannical, to say the least, with his magic when the signs started showing around age 6 or 7. Dad couldn't handle it and Mum tried, but they eventually sent him off to my Aunt's...where he was still uncontrolled. But with more knowledge and resource to the situation, my aunt had to send him to hospitals and psychiatry, all that jazz. Throughout the years, it still wasn't better and I suppose my brother had a bit of an unharnessed temper. Dad was a bit ashamed and told Mum never to speak of it. When I was born, they were scared of things going the same way, but I never exerted the same behavior as Marc. With bad blood between my dad and himself, Marc never bothered coming 'round. Ended up going to Durmstrang and afterwards, travelling for years and years and doing, of all things, curse-breaking. I guess a jinx got him pretty bad (burnt, excessively shriveling wand arm, no less) on his last trip and since he isn't getting any younger.. well, you know how those sweet ol' stories go. Mum was always consistently heartbroken, so of course she welcomed him closely. Dad's still willy nilly about it, but not as much..

All right, maybe that wasn't so short. Drink definitely needed.
