Proud of Tutshill for their victory last weekend. Only wish I could've done more involved. It's incredibly unsatisfying to hang out on the sidelines and watch other people do the work for you, and then try to celebrate afterwards.

Finally finished painting the house on Friday, but I'm still finding paint in my hair after several washings. Turns out latex paint soaks in pretty well. But I think the place looks nice, if I may say so myself. It's a good little bachelor pad.
And to all of those that I didn't tell about yesterday - yes, I did fly at Quidditch Trials. Now that I'm stationed here instead of Romania, I only do field work every once and a while, and with Dexter and Lindsay's help, the paperwork is pretty under control. We shall see what happens, though. I think I flew well, but I'm definitely not the top seeker I was seven years ago.

I have field work in Japan, soon. Might swing by China as well to check on my favorite little Fireball, Xi Wang. Who wants a souvenir??

Dragon Internship has still not been filled. C'mon, adventurers!!! Don't you want to help save the world??
Private to Dex & Lindsay
Going to be taking a few days off this week. I'm (finally) moving out of the burrow.
On that note, if either of you want to come and celebrate once we're all moved in, I'd be more than happy to host a little dragon-brainstorming-shindig. Whiskey and fire-breathing go together really well, turns out.

Private to Weasley Family, minus Molly
Percy and I found an awesome place in London. We're only renting it for now, pending both of our careers, it is a pretty swell investment, if I may say so myself. There are three bedrooms, and an office. The third bedroom will be a guest bedroom, so we expect all of you to visit at least six hundred times. The place definitely needs some redecorating (two of the bedrooms were painted for children), but I think it's going to be a rather brilliant bachelor pad in the end.
We're going to be moving out of the Burrow sometime this week. Only, we haven't told mum yet. Anyone want to be there to soften the blow when we break the news?

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty stoked. The place is awesome. Time for us to be manly men and live on our own, am I right??

| şase - another public service announcement from Charles S. Weasley |
[23 Jul 2012|10:30pm] |
Alright, official business:
ATTENTION ALL JOB SEEKING YOUNGINS.
Do you like to live on the edge? Does adventure turn you on more than a smutty romance novel? Want to make all of your friends jealous with your heroism? Is the best adjective to describe you 'badass?'
That's right, I, the rogue Charles S. Weasley (along with the saucy Dexter Vaisey, and the brilliant Lindsay Macmillan), am seeking one extraordinary individual to join us on the ultimate quest for the salvation of mankind the ecosystem. That's right, we need YOUR help in order to save the dragons!
But think carefully! This is not a job for the faint of heart. Not just ANYONE can save the world. We will be asking a lot of you. In addition to helping the delightfully organized Ms. Macmillan to keep track of paperwork, lab samples, and data charts, you will also be expected to assist the bold Ms. Vaisey and myself with field work, which includes reservation visits, administering basic medical care, wrangling, and data collection with REAL DRAGONS.
Please be very aware that injury is very much a risk with this position, and while we will not throw you into the line of fire (literally) unprepared, you must heed your training very carefully so as to avoid permanent death or maiming. But have no fear! The risk is well worth the reward, and your friends will be clamoring about how much COOLER you are when compared to them!
No dragon experience necessary, training provided. This is a PAID position!
All applicants welcome, however, we stress the importance of familiarity and skills in the following areas of study: Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, and Dueling and Defense skills (dragons are fast and very strong!). Puzzle-solving skills would benefit our team greatly. Some familiarity with genetics is also a plus, but is not a requirement.
APPLY WITHIN!

It's funny how life will keep going with or without you. Something happens, and it's like hitting a wall, and you sort of feel like you can't move forward.
Lately, I've felt stuck, and confused, and a whole mess of other emotions (angry being a big one). And yet, the world has kept turning, and suddenly I feel like I'm miles behind. Why is it that I feel like I'm the only one appropriately stunned? It almost makes me angry to see people so light-hearted and happy, like nothing has happened at all.
( Private to Lindsay )
( Private to Meaghan )
This is easily the most pathetic thing I've ever written. Forgive my mopey-ness.

China is amazing. Quite literally. Bill and I arrived yesterday afternoon and met with a translator. Visited the reservation north of Danshan this morning. It is a female, and she has been appropriately named 希望 (Xi Wang), which means "Hope" in Mandarin.
The food is fantastic. Bill and I are being hosted by a wizarding family in the heart of Danshan. Another visit to the reservation in the morning, and then we shall probably be back in the evening. Tonight, I think we may just explore the markets and enjoy more traditional foods.
Private to Meaghan
I saw something at the market that made me think of you, so I bought it. I am not going to owl it from here, though. You will have to wait until I return.
How was the Ball?

Private to Percy
We ought to start looking at places this week. I get the feeling we should settle on a place before we tell mum. Don't want to hurt her by moving out, but I think she will understand.

She's underweight and smaller than average (and Fireballs are usually smaller as a whole), but otherwise seems remarkably healthy. What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?

Right then.
As it turns out, I slept on the couch last night, on account of the fact that I made it to the living room and did not feel inclined to go any further. Mum is none to pleased, of course, but she was kind enough to make a whole pot of coffee on my behalf. Here's to hoping she understands that my friends were in desperate need of a good time. It was important, you see?
Good to be home.
