Iris Conway-Madley

I wish Da was here, he would know what to do to make this--

Merlin, I'm stupid. Why can't I just--get over this--I don't want to be in this house anymore, I need to just get out and not think for a while and--I want to kill them all. Just--all of them. Fucking Death Eaters. If it weren't for them and--he would still be alive. He would still be here. And I wouldn't have to sit here and wonder and think and--and now Peter won't stop kicking and it's driving me mad and it's just not fair

I can only imagine the volume of paperwork that is awaiting my return to the office tomorrow morning. Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and words. It has and will continue to help with the healing process.

[Hexed to Close Friends of the Conway Family] If you'd like to join us, Brad and I are hosting a small get together. Close friends of Da...meaning the majority of the Auror department. Not so much a funeral service, just...honoring his memory. Sharing stories. That sort of thing. It would mean a lot to me to see everyone right now--[/Hex]

Unf. I'm definitely done with hospital food.

[Brad] I'm going to switch to a desk job. I should start on Monday. [/Brad]

[Da] We were planning on going to tell you soon. I just...I wasn't sure how to tell you or when and. With everything that happened, I'm so scared that--I don't want anything bad to happen. [/Da]

Finally finished with school, finally at home at my flat. Eee, I made dinner the past few nights, too! And I didn't burn it much, either!

( Brad )

I'm going to hurl, I can't--

if I get an A in Transfiguration I'll--

I can't--

I think I'm going to be sick.

Going stir crazy I need to get out of this bloody--bachelor pad flat and--I never get time with Brad and now all this stuff is happening and he's not even here for my week off of school and--augh, okay not going to complain because

I cannot stop myself from baking! I already finished my volunteer hours this afternoon and I'm still going in tomorrow because they're really swamped and I need to--yes, anyways.

Who would like me to owl them some cookies?

[Da, Charlotte] I hope that dinner will still occur this weekend? I just dug up my recipe for pecan pie and it would be a shame to not use it. I know how busy Brad the auror office must be, and I can only imagine how busy things are for you, Da, but the time off and spent with family could be good...right?

I FINALLY OPENED IT! I REPEAT, THE BLOODY LETTER HAS BEEN OPENED!!!!!! OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH! EEEEEE--I SOUND LIKE A COMPLETE LOON WHAT THE HELL, THAT'S NOT GOING TO GET ME ANY RESPECT AT ALL AND

TOMAS! You won't have to babysit me for much longer because I am going to be trained and knowledgeable in the skill of protecting myself in the most BAD ASS-IEST of ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND AVIS I promise I won't get any ice cream on the cadavers because I am not seven anymore and I don't really eat ice cream much anymore!



BRAD! We should do something amazing to celebrate this EXTREMELY MOMENTOUS occasion in which one of my MAJOR CHILDHOOD DREAMS just came true!!!!!! Like a trip to somewhere--I don't know, something magical!!!

Job letters. Joy.

Congratulations to everyone who's opened their letter OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T I FORCE MYSELF TO DO THIS found out they've got positions for next year :) We're almost out in the world! Eee, so exciting!!!

[Da] You never said thank you for the Valentine's cookies :(




I've had my letter for a week now. And I can't--

The envelope's still sealed and everything. It makes me sick to think about it [/Da]

[Brad] I am miserable

Is it summer yet? I don't want to be here any more :( [/Brad]


I have just been informed that I aced the last Transfiguration exam. Yessss!

Everything feels good today. Life feels good. I'm even in the mood to study (and that honestly has to be a first)!

The soiree was great, Phoebe. When we get out of school, your house parties are gonna put everyone else's house parties to SHAME.

Another Auror-- I don't
What if--I mean, Brad is--And--

It's the time of year for resolutions. And I know I'm somewhat late, but I've never been particularly good at keeping my resolutions. So we'll say this is more of a personal way of living or mantra, if you will, rather than a resolution for 1980.


Someday, I hope I can look back at this moment in time and can say to myself that I did everything logically possible to live my life with a sense of meaning, that I tried my best to do good and to protect those for whom I care deeply.

I hope we can all look back, someday, and see that the things that have happened were-- are wrong and. I just hope that we as a people learn from the mistakes we commit every day, that we look back on them and that we teach the future generation and admit to those mistakes so that they don't end up making the same ones again however many years from now.

I'm grounded. How can I be grounded I'm married and---ugh and Booth is watching me and this is so--sigh

I am a legal witch I should not have to be grounded, this is just--

Happy New Years everyone. Haaaa.

[Booth] You're not seriously going to let him keep me holed up in the flat for the rest of break are you? [/Booth]

Thank god someone has a level head on their shoulders. Kudos to whoever made the posters. I just hope that they'll inspire real action from others and not

I'm almost done with Christmas shopping and wrapping and having things done with for the holiday!

[Brad] When would you like to meet up to exchange gifts? [/Brad]

Brad. Da. I need to know what you want for Christmas. Otherwise you won't get anything, and you won't be allowed to pout at all. And you not getting anything isn't an option so just tell me so I don't have to resort to desperate measures.

[Da] And don't you dare let them make you move to that bloody makeshift ghetto. [/Da]

[Da]I had another night terro I can hear them--I think that things are starting to come back to me and Do we have any more calming potion at home? I'd rather not bother Madam Pomfrey right now--she seemed in a right mood this morning at breakfast. [/Da]

[7th Gryff Girls] Sorry about last night. I know it was a bit of an issue last spring but--it should be getting better. I just--yeah. Sorry if I woke any of you. [/7th Gryff Girls]

I need--I don't know what I need anymore, actually.

Shit! There's a huge ink stain--a thing on the wall. I just threw my transfiguration work at the bloody wall and the ink hadn't dried and oh bloody hell

Hogsmeade weekend was good. Really really good. Can we have another one again this weekend? Please please please please please please?

I'm quite glad I picked up a mask last weekend. I have no idea what to wear with it

[Private to 7th Gryff Girls] So. Erm...I have a secret date to the Masquerade. Or, well...I have someone who asked me and told me how to find him, but not who he is so it's not a secret that I'm going, but I don't know who and--yes.

And you guys will probably be more help to me with getting ready than myself because, honestly, I have no idea what to do. Consider me a blank canvas if you would like to help me. [/Private]

( Some more art... )

It's going to be a good end to the month, I'm thinking.

Ohhhhh boy Transfiguration. Ngh.

Lazy Sunday. Not a whole lot of work yet, and I've already finished most of it. And though I don't usually do this, I'm feeling creative and kinda proud.

( art and doodles )

Hrm. Maybe I'll put some more up later.

I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THIS BLOODY FLAT ALL WEEK.

I.

WANT.

OUT.

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Someone help restore my sanity, please? Between people popping in and out at all hours and worrying about that damn letter arriving on Friday I just--I want to scream.

( Private )

I suddenly got the urge to start singing songs from Grease. This musical will never exit my brain, I'm afraid.

10 days. I hope I get the ruddy head girl position after working my arse off these past six years
