My sister and I went out to the beach and we practised the Patronus thing. I kept saying Think about happy things. Think happy thoughts. It's too bad I didn't have Peter Pan and Tinker Bell nearby. You guys might not know what I'm talking about. Sorry.
We were out there for so long. I got cranky and snapped at my sister. I thought she'd bite back like she usually does. I thought she'd yell at me, maybe kick me....not that she's often violent or anything. I waited for hurtful insults to be flung my way. Instead she broke down sobbing. She cried and she cried.
I feel so sick and depressed seeing her that way. I hate myself for making her cry.
I knelt down and sat near her. I put my arm around her, and I guess I expected her to push me away.
She didn't. She let me hold her, and she cried on my shoulders. I've never seen anyone cry that much. Funny (but not in a ha ha way) that we were trying to be happy.

Sorry to be such a drama queen. It's not that big of a deal though. Right? We all cry sometimes. Let's not forget the time you lost your Cabbage Patch Doll.
But really, Alex. Do we have to shout all this out to the whole world? This is my life, not an episode of "Home and Away". Next thing I know you're going to follow me around with a camera and turn my life into a documentary.
I don't need my every tear publicised.
And sorry about getting snot on your shirt.
You're right, and I am SO sorry!!!
I guess I was just really sad and needed to talk about it. But still. It was rude of me. Please forgive me?
I forgive you.
Thank you!!!!
And by the way, I still miss Heather Gina.
Oh, Poor Miss Muggle Bug. Come to my room and I'll let you cry on my shoulder.
You know you haven't called me that in so long.
I missed it : (
Sorry. I didn't realise it was that important to you.
Hey, I'm going to stop this and go watch the telly.
Hey, I thought you were going to comfort me about my Cabbage Patch Doll.
Alex...MISS MUGGLE BUG....I can multi-task. Get your teary-eyes over here.
But don't cry to loud. I want to be able to hear the show.
Glad to see you two getting along.
Patronuses are notoriously tricky. It'll take more then an afternoon to get it, but I have faith in you Julia. I know it must be hard to be the one in your family most capable of keeping them safe. This war is making so many grow up to quickly. Keep your chin up.
Alex, you'll be tickled pink to know I am picking up a couple traveling companions. Four to be exact...it's a... complicated situation but in the end only one will be any use at magic. I'll explain more later but keep your fingers crossed. A certain portion of getting them out of where they are is going to be a bit iffy. Look for my owl...
Sc Mather,
I'm so happy and relieved to hear that. I was worried about you being alone. I look forward to hearing more about it.

Please be nice to each other, even if you disagree with what the other person is saying.
If you suddenly feel possessed by a futuristic Muggle, PLEASE go to the OOC section to the right.
