Not long to go now until the Christmas holidays. I imagine the castle will be rather quiet without the vast majority of students in it.

Private
I don't want to be around many people this year, so a quiet one suits me fine. I do't want to hear of other people's talk of families and how much they're looking forward to seeing them... not now.

Hopefully Halloween will prove to be a good distraction. I'm trying to looking forward to it, anyway.

I have finally received a letter from the older of my brothers. The younger still isn't answering mail. I am really tempted to just ignore everything outside of school until it's time for Christmas. Oh god, Christmas...

Private to: Funeral guests
Thanks for coming. It meant a lot to have some wizards people there. I think Dad felt the same, not that he would admit it.
End

Private to: Adrian, Blaise, Theodore
I think Julian has disowned me.

I'm still not sure about the idea of starting a formal club, but Professor Flitwick was kind enough to allow me to use the Charms classroom for yoga practice on Monday evening, and he says it's there for use in the evenings now the weather's going to turn. I'm not particularly scheduled about these things... just let me know if you feel like coming.

Private to: Professors
My mother's funeral has been arranged for this coming Saturday, now that matters have been settled with the Muggle coroner. I trust it would still be OK to return home for that weekend?
End

Private to: Adrian, Theodore, Blaise
Mum's funeral has been settled for next weekend. So if you don't see me around the common room... yeah, that'd be why.
End

Private to: Lisa, Seamus, Rhys
I know from personal experience that there's nothing I can really do... but I'm thinking of you all in any case. Turpin, I wish I had half of your courage in telling Parkinson where she can shove her stupid opinions, I really do.
End

Private to: Weasleys, Prewetts, Lily Potter
I know it might not be terribly likely... but we're having Mum's funeral next weekend. The invitation to attend is there if any of you wish to come. It's about time Dad made up with his wizarding family
End

I think I am ready to start my yoga practice again soon. It's about time I did something to get back into my usual habits, I think.
