Death and Confusion

Malcolm's dad knows people in London and he had them look up Rhyden.

They found out that he's dead.   We're not sure of the details, but it happened a few weeks ago.  All we know is that his sister killed him.  She's in Azkaban now.   Their mother is missing.   That scares me a bit.   I worry she's going to come and blame us for what happened.   It's not our fault, but sometimes that doesn't matter.

Julia's very upset and confused.   She wants more answers.   I understand that; and our parents do too.  But we all hope she drops the whole thing.    

Agatha and Joanne are coming to visit in a few days.  I'm hoping that will keep Julia's mind off of things.   Malcolm might come too.    I wonder what we're going to do.  Maybe just hang out?   It's getting too cold to go swimming.   Winter's coming soon.   This will be our first Australian winter.    It will be really weird to have it in June-August.
