To have a week that began with such promise and joy marred by violence and death is hard to comprehend. My thoughts go out to all those affected by these recent attacks.

Private to Sirius

I suspect where you are and can imagine what you are feeing but really, you might have owled.

Private to Astoria

Might you be persuaded to pay me a visit? I'm stuck with only unopened wedding gifts and guards for company. The latter are nearly as inanimate as the former.

	About what? The papers have already covered the basics. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-17 12:30 am UTC (link)
	The papers? I see. I didn't realize we would be communicating via Daily Prophet headlines from now on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By the time I got a handle on what was happening and everyone's status, the news had already leaked. I do not report back to you. If you wanted to know, you could have owled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I've learned anything this past month, it's that news reports are no guarantee of accuracy. It would have been, oh, vaguely comforting to know whether you and your children were really unhurt and where you were. But if simple initiative is all I need to exhibit next time I want something from you, that is welcome news. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did not realize you cared. When you want something, go get it. Do not wait for someone else to hand it to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-17 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps that realization might lead you naturally to another: that there are other things you don't know about me. At any rate, I'll have to remember to be more persistent during our next impasse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tipyourhat 2013-09-17 02:15 am UTC (link)
	As there are things you do not know about me. I wish you luck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Isn't that the thrill of marriage though? We will have years of exploration ahead of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How lucky we are. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I will be by later this morning if you still wish me to come by. Mum was livid at the papers and the news they had to tell the world. She was going on and on about how this is your honeymoon yet some sick people have tried to ruin the wedding as well the this time when you and the Prince should be enjoying each other's company.

I did not want to bother you yesterday, in case you were recovering.

	Oh dear, as much as I share her sentiments, I'm sorry you had to be there to hear them. Please do come when you have a chance, I feel like I barely saw you at the wedding. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The state of our world is quickly spiraling into mass chaos, it is a sad sad thing. [Daphne] How is married life treating you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_greeneyed 2013-09-17 10:26 am UTC (link)
	I hope it's not come to that. Theo I would have preferred a honeymoon period with less bloodshed and more champagne and opening of gifts, to tell you the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theodorebnott 2013-09-17 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	I'm afraid it already appears to have. [Daphne] Fuck the Prince. If he doesn't want to spend time opening gifts with you, allow me to keep you company? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Among his many flaws is a decided lack of appreciation for sumptuously wrapped presents. If you would like to join me and sip wine that had been intended for the special day, I would welcome your company. Besides, who knows what mysteries lurk beneath all of those silk bows and tissue paper? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Daphne, Sirius & Black Children Here's a tip. You want to be accepted as part of this family, try addressing some of us by name. This was an attempt to get at your husband by taking the lives of his children. It sounds like you're spouting out nothing more than PR bullshit. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Black Children, Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-17 01:35 pm UTC (link)
	Nor have I felt an exactly familial warmth from you. But I am sorry you were attacked, Victoria, and glad you weren't hurt. I have seen glimpses of how much you all matter to your father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Black Children, Sirius victoriaregina 2013-09-17 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, because you so clearly care for the wellbeing of the lot of us. It oozes from your every pore and you really have earned our respect. As for Dad, don't even think you have the first clue about what he feels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Black Children, Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-17 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, honestly. I would think you'd feel you had enough enemies, without going out of your way to try and create more. I certainly don't wish you ill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Black Children, Sirius victoriaregina 2013-09-17 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Funnily enough, I'm not trying to create enemies, just to prove that you don't belong here. So far, you are doing nothing that convinces me otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Black Children, Sirius _greeneyed 2013-09-17 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	I hadn't realized the erring step had been mine. What tips do you have for attempting to win over the Black family flock? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's a silly question, but how are you fairing in all of this? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Tracey _greeneyed 2013-09-17 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	It's not a silly question at all. I wish I were handling it better, to be honest. I had thought the weeks leading up to the wedding were going to be the challenge, not every hour afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne painting_roses 2013-09-17 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	If only it was that way. The country was supposed to be celebrating, but now it seems like everything is going to Hell. You are safe though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tracey _greeneyed 2013-09-17 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	It does feel that way. I'm perfectly safe, my only problem is sheer boredom, which seems wrong to even mention. How are you doing during these turbulent times? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne painting_roses 2013-09-18 12:12 am UTC (link)
	At least they are taking the right precautions when it comes to your life. It isn't wrong in the least bit. You should be sunbathing on some beach or just enjoying your honeymoon, not quietly sitting around. Apparently, distress is reason to drink. While no bands have been playing, the bar is booming.

	Tracey _greeneyed 2013-09-18 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	Bless your heart, I would give a lot for sand and a fruity drink right now. At least this terrible week is helping someone then! I think there is a natural tendency to hole up with alcohol and friends in the face of disaster. I've been steadily working on the bottles left over from the wedding so I don't feel like I'm in any position to judge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne painting_roses 2013-09-19 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Once you are able to get away, perhaps a small Holiday away from that husband of yours is in order. Only so you can have your sand and drink. Truly so. There have been more toasts to the Queen than I would have imagined. No reason to judge anyone. If it hadn't been so busy, I probably would have joined in the grief, or festivities as some are calling it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
