Harry J. Potter

It's possible that I may have gone a bit overboard with all the Easter eggs I bought when I had my lunch earlier. Good thing most of it is going to the children's home.

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

We're back. Thank you for looking after my pets.

And Andromeda's asked me to remind you that you're both invited to Teddy's birthday dinner tomorrow night. His party's going to be later in the summer, because he's decided he wants to take a few of his mates with him to the zoo. That's going to be interesting.

[/Ward]

[Warded Private]

Merlin, I don't even know what to write here. The weekend was fucking brilliant. Would've stayed the whole week if we could.

And it would take a conversation with Luna to make me realise certain things. Or admit them to myself. Probably realise, because I'm apparently a daft bugger if you listen to Ron. This is good.

[/Ward]


No work for me today. Or tomorrow. I'm sort of glad that I'd allowed myself to be talked into taking a few days off to have a bit of a long weekend.

Because I'm bored and can't sleep:

What is your zodiac sign? Leo.
What kind of music do you enjoy listening to? Muggle rock.
Do you like sports? Quidditch and flying in general. I like playing Quidditch more than watching it, though.
What are two of your favourite foods? Chocolate. Pizza.
Do you have any pets? Yeah, two dogs and a lizard.
Do you believe in Divination? No.
What was your best subject in school? Defense Against the Dark Arts. Big surprise.
Your worst subject in school? History of Magic. Divination.
What is your favourite season? I like them all, really.
Are you scared of spiders? No.
What time do you usually go to bed? Good question, that.
Do you miss anyone at the moment? I do, yeah.
Last time you took a bubble bath? Never?
What is one thing you want to accomplish this year? Get my first year trainees into second year with all their limbs still in place.
What is your favourite holiday? Christmas.
Do you have any allergies? Have to agree with Nott here - stupidity.
What is the last book you read? Guards! Guards! again by Terry Pratchett.
Have you ever been in love? What sort of a question is this?
Do you believe in love at first sight? No, that's ridiculous.
Do you believe in soul mates? There are certain people who gets us better than other people, so yeah, I suppose I do.
What was your last injury and how did it happen? I bumped my head tonight while picking something up under my desk.
If you could have one superhero ability, what would it be? I'd really fucking like the ability to make stupid people go away.
Do you hate anyone? No, but there are people I don't like at all.
Are you angry with anyone at the moment? Not that I can think of, so that's probably a no.
Is there something else you should be doing right now? Sleep. And probably pack.
Who is the next person you are going to see? No idea. Probably someone random when I get to work in the morning.

[OOC: Written Wednesday night after the raid and DE arrests.]

[Warded to Aurors]

Fuck the paperwork. Whiskey in my office. We need to celebrate.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Wendy]

We're back and it went very, very well.

And you should pack for the weekend. We're going away.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione; Neville added a few minutes later]

It'll be in the paper tomorrow, but you should know - we got Lestrange and Dolohov tonight.

[/Ward]

Good news - I'll be keeping my shoulder according to my healer.

I've also got myself covered in soot for the third time this month.


[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Will one of you be free this coming weekend? I want to take Wendy away for the weekend and I'm going to need someone to look in on the dogs and feed them (and Errol).

[/Ward]

[Warded to Wendy]

Please say you've got nothing planned for the weekend.

And thank you for looking after me and my dogs and not kicking us out after the first night. I'll come round after work to pick them up.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Last night's raid went well. I will be spending today, at least, in St Mungo's while they fuss and give me a new exciting potion every half hour.

Feel free to visit with presents and refreshments.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Theodore Nott]

Starting to feel human again by now?

[/Ward]

[Warded Private]

It really did go well. Apart from finding Nott alive and being able to bring him out we've got a load of those buggers that we've been looking for. They're not any of the big names, but having them off the street will be good. Maybe a few of them can even be helpful if they think it'll help them when it comes to sentencing.

That thing in my shoulder really, fucking hurt after a while. No permanent damage, though. Thank God.

Wendy's been here since I let her know last night that I'm back. It's nice - really, really nice. By the looks of it I don't think she's going to move much today.

[/Ward]


I wonder if healers have a course during their training named something like 'How to Intimidate Your Patient Until He Listens'.

I've got to work tonight, so you won't hear from me before bed. I can't really tell you what we're doing, but I'll be back tomorrow.

Could you lot find your heads this morning? Or is it still too early to tell?

[Warded to Weasleys and friends]

OK, I hate to do it like this, but I reckon it's better than you lot reading about it in the paper. For those of you who don't know yet - I'm seeing someone. It's Wendy Roper. Some of you already know her and the rest of you will definitely meet her at some point.

[/Ward]


[Warded to Wendy]

God, I wish I had time for lunch with you today. Can I invite myself to dinner tonight?

[/Ward]

So, first thing we had to do this morning was search the paper for more cards of dragons. This is apparently a Very Important Thing if you're almost seven. The disappointment at not finding any was very dramatic and I promised to ask the people I know if they've got ones from yesterday that they didn't want. This is me asking. Thanks!


[Warded Private]

Tomorrow I meet her whole family Or the ones here, at least. Heidi's dad and his wife included. This got serious very fast, but I'm strangely not too worried about it.

[/Ward]


[Warded to Ron, Hermione and Neville]

I'm going to Wendy's daughter's birthday party tomorrow. And I'm going to meet her mum and dad and stepdad and brother. And also Heidi's dad and his wife. I'm a bit nervous about it to be honest. It's normal to be a bit nervous, yeah?

[/Ward]

Brilliant news for a Thursday.


[Warded to Ron, Hermione, Neville, Dean and Seamus]

Celebratory drinks after work? First round's on me.

[/Ward]


[Warded to Wendy]

I know we're bed shopping and birthday present shopping for Heidi on Saturday, but can I tempt you with a date one night over the weekend?

[/Ward]

[ooc: hastily scribbled early morning]

Visibility is good, with only light cloud cover this morning, so I'm going sailing. After coffee. Don't look for me at home before tonight - if the weather holds.

I've been looking forward to this since before Christmas.

Oh, Merlin, the idiots are out in full force again today. Stopping people on their way to work in the morning is maybe not the best way to get your point across. And no, I'm not interested in joining your 'cause', lady.


[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

I've been hoping to catch the two of you together at some point, because I've got something to tell you and I must tell someone now before I explode, so I'm just going to tell you now. I'm seeing Wendy. Officially. We talked the other night and yeah, that's why I've been grinning like an idiot for the last few days.

We really need to get together for dinner again.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Wendy]

Good morning.

[/Ward]

Am I the only one who's really, bloody happy that it's Friday today?


[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

My date last night went well in case you were wondering.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Hermione]

Any ideas for Ron's birthday? I know his mum will probably have us all over on the night, but I've been thinking we should do something, too - take him out, just the three of us?

[/Ward]

[Warded to Wendy]

Thanks for allowing me to keep you out so late last night.

[/Ward]

[Warded Private]

I can't stop smiling. It's really sort of ridiculous. We'll have to do it again.

[/Ward]

How can people even wonder if a change in policy for Wolfsbane is needed? Of course it's needed. Like Ron wrote earlier - one of the best men I've ever known was a werewolf and having wolfsbane just made it a little bit easier for him while it was full moon. How is that a bad thing? If we can help every werewolf to easily obtain something that will help them, why not? There's nothing to talk about as far as I'm concerned.

[Warded to Wendy]

Remember to let me know when I can make a new reservation for us. And tell Heidi I said hello.

[/Ward]


[Warded Private]

I'm thinking things are going surprisingly well. Saturday night was brilliant and normal and I can definitely do it again.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Remind me when we're having dinner that I've got something I want to talk to you about. I had a thought about something the other night and would like to hear your opinions on it.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Hermione, how are you feeling today? Teddy's sick, too, so I'm going round there later this morning. If you need anything I can pick it up for you while I'm out.

Heidi's also been sick, so Wendy and I didn't go out on Thursday night. But I've been invited to her house for dinner tonight - in case one of you are looking for me and I'm not at home.

[/Ward]


My dogs both need a bath after our run this morning. There were mud and cows and cow by-products and they think this new aroma that they've brought home with them is brilliant.

[Warded Private]

OK, we've survived ice-cream with a toddler. We've survived coffee on our own. I'm thinking we'll manage dinner.

I hadn't realised that she was an actress until I saw her on the stage Friday night. She's really sort of surprising and interesting and easy to talk to. She's also really, fucking beautiful when she laughs.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Wendy]

I don't even know if you do this, but would you like to go to dinner with me one night?

[/Ward]

[Warded to Neville]

How did it go at the auction?

[/Ward]

Apparently a tie makes a brilliant rope for tug-of-war if you're a dog.

You will be glad to hear that I've had ice-cream earlier tonight. With Wendy Roper.

I see certain people have found their brains over the weekend. Brilliant.

[Warded to Wendy]

Good news for you, yeah?

Do you

Would you like

[Warded Private]

Bugger.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Hermione, when do you want to go and see that play? And any more dates we should know about?

[/Ward]

Did they really think people would agree that that was a good idea. Really? Fucking idiots.

[Warded Private]

At least it's out in the open now with people reacting to it. Dammit I feel sort of bad for not asking about it again when I saw her the other day. Having to deal with the fallout of this can't be easy.

[/Ward]

[Warded to Ron and Hermione]

Dinner tonight at my house? I'm in the mood to cook.

[/Ward]
