Anthony .

Can't do anything with the shop at the moment, can't do any work, read all my books...

I think I'm officially quite bored.

I can't believe the state of Diagon. It's just... wrecked.
Some of these shops have been here for hundreds of years...

[Hexed to Terry and Michael]

The shop is gutted, well the front is. The back is alright, so we still have all the stock, just no front-of-the-shop to sell it in at the moment. But we can fix it.. We'll be ok.

[Private to Harry Potter]

Happy Birthday. Sorry its not better timing I guess.

[Hexed to Michael and Terry]

Ok, I've figured it out. I think we should just close for like the rest of the week cause of these protests. Business has been slow anyway because everyone's avoiding Diagon so we won't be missing out too much.

And I can use the time to catch up on these Quill orders after I fell behind cause.. well you know.

So tonight, after we close we can put up a sign saying that we'll be closed till next week. I'll stick around to finish off the two Quills I'm working on (it'll take an hour tops and I'll be in the shop so it'll be ok) and you two can go home and cook something sexy for me and then tomorrow we can come in and just sort the sho-

Do you hate it when I'm all business, business, business? My Dad used to talk business a lot and my mum hated it. Do you want me to talk puppies and babies instead?

[Extremely Private]

Oh God.
I'm fucked.

[Private to Terry and Michael]

Listen. Don't go anywhere alone anymore ok?

Actually, I think we should be really careful not to go places that aren't crowded and stuff.

I'm serious. Please?

'St Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain,
St Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain na mair'

I'd completely forgotten that old poem until my neighbour came over yesterday to borrow some eggs and recited it to me (he's a little old and felt the need to point it out).

Judging by the fact that yesterday was St. Swithun's day and it rained like hell and today it's pretty much the same, I think it might be true. Time to dust off the old umbrellas.

Aren't superstitions weird?

Dittany paste is my new favourite thing. Though I've smelt better things I'll be honest.

I'm out this afternoon.

Who: Anthony Goldstein, Astoria Greengrass and Michael corner (open to Terry as well)
What: Visitations
Where: St. Mungos.
When: Sunday afternoon
Rating: Prolly low
Status: Incomplete

( You put yourself in stupid places, yes I think you know its true, situations where its easy to look down on you )

[Hexed against Death Eaters]

I'm alive, in case anyone was wondering. I'm ok. I'm in St. Mungos, but I guess someone might've mentioned that.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on to be honest. I can't remember anything since about last Friday so, er, catch me up on stuff?

I'm also not opposed to visits (especially if you bring me chocolate frogs winkwink nudgenudge)


[Private to the Order]

So no inkling what happened to me? At all?


[Private to Michael]

Are you ok? I'm sorry this happened. I love you.


[Private to Terry]

I love you. I'm sorry, are you alright?

Brought beef instead. It leaked everywhere. I'm fine, will be home soon.

I don't have time for privates, I'm already late but anyway,
Boys, make sure you're hungry tonight! I just found a recipe for Grilled Hawaiian Chicken that looks so, so gorgeous, so I'm going to inflict it upon you tonight! (This is my way of saying I'll be sneaking off early to go the the butchers heh)

[Hexed against Terry and Michael]

Ever try and make something better but just end up making it worse?
I think its my special talent.

Screw blushing, now I'm just pissed off.

Well... I can't stop blushing. I should officially not be allowed near my journal.
I might have to go into hiding or something.

So I've decided I want to re-open Cardinals on Monday, so if you're in Diagon Alley and fancy a book etc! (I also buy books, so all of those Hogwarts Textbooks? Yeah. Bring 'em over)

Ok, that self-promotion aside...
I have to say, my teapot delivered the best news ever yesterday. Good work Dean!

I'm spending tomorrow in Diagon, sorting out my shop, because I wasn't around for the last delivery so it's a tip. If you're around, feel free to drop in and day hi!

My boys are home, it's sunny, the new house is really coming together, everyone's ok...
Everything's sort of perfect right now. It's a really good feeling.

( Private to Terry and Michael )

They discharged me from hospital, and I'm home now. At the flat, not the house. Though I've found a really nice bed for the house. It's sort of expensive, but I think I might just splash out on it! A treat after everything.
I'm probably not going to open the shop again for a while, I'm just not in the mood to deal with customers right now, and I don't think I could lift all the boxes and books and things. But we'll see.
I'm glad my birds are alright.
I hope everyone's feeling ok now.

Private to the Boys

I love you both. I'm ok, I promise. I'm going to get a big bed for all of us, and start getting things moved tomorrow. I just need a rest tonight I think.
I miss you both.
I can't wait for you to come home.

They gave me a new journal!
I sort of miss my old one, but you know, give me a week and this one will be equally as battered I'm sure!

How is everyone? I sort of feel out of the loop.
I'm sorry.
The potions make me really sleepy. Or I'm just lazy.

Apparently I'll be out on Friday.

I'm so sorry about everyone's losses...

[Hexed to the Weasleys]

I just heard what happened. I'm so sorry.
I don't know what to say
they don't teach you what to say to someone who just lost someone in school

[Hexed to Michael and Terry]

I love you both.
Michael where are you? Are you ok? I tried to--
