An work colleague of mine, who is currently placed overseas, sent me a rather disturbing photograph.

( ~~Magical Photo~~ )

Please discuss.

[Jane]
This werewolf attack is going to keep me here late. My father is going to watch the girls until you're able to pick them up. Sorry. I love you.

Oh, I told Leo to join us for dinner Tuesday and Wednesday. I think he's depressed.

I need a nickname for a knight that will be acceptable to two young girls. I cannot be Knight Butterscotch for one more day.

[Damocles Belby]
I apologize for the informal means of contacting you, but I was hoping to schedule a meeting. I have reviewed the materials you sent me and think it best if we talked in person. I have several questions to pose to you and would be happy to answer any you have from your end.

Best Regards,

Sebastian Bagnold

[Jane]
A project has come up at work. I might be busier than usual.
[/End]

Whoever keeps sending paper owls to my office, thank you. I've had worse distractions.

I'm still finding Easter eggs. I might have gone a bit overboard this year.

Jane:
I keep trying to think of something nice to give to mum. This whole Lestrange incident has got her beyond stressed and I want to do something. I'm not trying to be the best child, but I figure someone has to knock Portia off her pedestal every now and then.

Friends:
I'm not advocating procrastination at work, but I'd be up for a few games of hangman every now and then. Throwing that idea out there.

[Aaron]
So?

[Anne]
So?

[Jane]
I think we should send the girls to Celia, get drunk, eat junk food and sleep in until ten. Think you can handle it?
[/end wards]

My beard is turning grey. Shave or wear it with pride?

[Family & Friends]
Let me tell you how excited my mother was over the news that I didn't want to be directly involved with this little task force. I do believe I'm off the Christmas list. Consulting is more than enough for me, I have a feeling this thing is going to make job more complicated already.

I do find it interesting that the task force seems to regard all werewolves as terrorists. I wonder how they will decided which terrorist deserves rehabilitation and which one does not. Perhaps by evaluating their human side.

[Family & Friends]
I believe in the right to protest. I believe in the right of open dialogue. I am drowning in petitions and letters from that protest yesterday. Our culture is borderline illiterate. There are actually people writing about their concern that werewolves and vampires will turn each other to make a super army.

What is that?

I agree with strict laws but I'm out of owl treats and that's when the pecking starts.

Jane, did you teach our daughter the F-word? I know she didn't learn it from me.

[Family-MINUS Jane]
I've been so busy all week trying to come up with something for Jane I completely forgot I have a mother. Are we doing anything for her Sunday? Does she even have time? I will probably end up sending her flowers if anyone wants me to add your name to the card.

[Jane]
You're not allowed to work Sunday. No excuses.

[Aaron Wagtail]
Good week?

My little girl had her hair pulled by a boy at the park and she promptly gave him a black eye for his efforts. I should be mad but I'm afraid the wife is going to have to discipline her on this one. I'm too busy being a proud papa. No one messes with my girls.

[Family]
Where are you?

[DMLE]
I need someone at my house now. They're outside and they're setting things on fire. My daughters are home.

Dunbar was an outstanding man and a close personal friend. His children played with my ch His family were honest hardworking people and they did not deserve this. No one deserves this. He devoted his career to the better understanding and acceptance of werewolves. You spat on that. You wonder why we push for harsher regulations? Some werewolves do bad things. That does not make all werewolves bad. Accusing and lashing out at innocent identified werewolves is not the answer. If you have any idea of who is at fault please contact the authorities and do not try to handle this on your own. Dunbar and his family will not be forgotten. Not by this department, not by anyone who knew him and his family.

[Private]
In human form? They're killing in human form? Fuck the lot of them.
[/end]

[Family]
It should be a given at this point but strengthen your wards. We are the Minister's children and I work with werewolves. We might very well be more offensive than muggles to them now.
[/end]

[Friends]
If this paperwork doesn't bury me first, I am going to be requiring a drink. Anyone willing to join me?
[/end]

Odds that our mother had a stroke?

I mean, honestly.

It's a hard thing to accept that fairy tales aren't true. It's worse knowing that one day your children will make the same discovery. Fear is a powerful thing, but when you build a kingdom on fear you can't expect it to turn into a world of hope and progress. So what is there to gain? Short term satisfaction. Hardly seems worth it. Unless you're content being painfully shortsighted.

My child informed me that I needed to shave because I was getting embarrassing. I don't know whether to be horrified or impressed.

I knew my youngest was going to be trouble when her first word was no. She clearly takes after her mother. At least she's cute, it almost makes you forget about the tantrums. I swear, sometimes werewolves are easier than toddlers. If only I were kidding.

[Portia]

I don't suppose our mum's recent speech has come up in one of your weekly lunches, has it?
