[AGGIE] I know that now of all time is NOT the time to complain about one's love life but... [/AGGIE]

So, thanks to the Ministry's new M.A.G.I.C. Act, I was correct in calling that nearly half the staff of St. Mungo's have been expelled and/or suspended. My grandmother managed to pull strings for me, and of course, as my father is a pureblood, he didn't have to go through suspension. Now that I'm back at Mungo's, I'll be happy to cover my colleagues' share. Now I know you might think that my previous sentence was said sarcastically, but I do mean it. Everyone that can heal is needed, because despite of what the Ministry thinks, medical care is still needed.

Cheers.

Well I don't know how to feel about Jen, exactly, and we've been kind of seeing and talking to each other on and off and I just... I mean, she ran off with nothing but a NOTE and I'm kind of finding it hard to forgive her although she does seem extremely sorry what she did and I still don't know, does that make me an awful person and I know you're going to say NO THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN AWFUL PERSON YOU DUMMY but I. JUST. DON'T. KNOW. What to do!

I suppose I'm a more than a bit glad that I'll overworked for awhile.

One--it makes you a good person for feeling this guilt. Even though you shouldn't feel guilty at all because she is a fucking slag broke your heart.

You shouldn't have to deal with things if you're not ready to commit like she wants you to. Disappearing for a year deserves more than like--what, two months? Not even! You definitely deserve more than two months to figure things out.

And you'll be busy. It's only right that you don't want to just start up a relationship because she's apologized I need to smack that bitch fucking honestly--

I just... I want to take things slow, but she... wants to get back into a relationship at once, make things as they used to be, and I just don't think I'm ready for that.

*sigh* I'm going to back off. You have a lot on your plate and I'm pushing you too hard -- I can tell. So if you need someone to talk to after a long day at work, I'll be an owl or an apparation away.

Oh Jen... I mean. I know we kind of talked about this earlier, but for right now, I don't think I can give you the time you deserve, right now. I mean, I know you do want us to happen right now, it's just. I can't. At least not now. I know it sounds like a line, "it's not you, it's me," but for me, it really is.

Feel free to hit me at any time, I'll let you.

I just don't want to push you when you aren't ready to be pushed. Forgiving me is a big step. I screwed up and I know it. I know it's not a line --- you're not the type to use lines.

I won't hit you, you don't deserve to be hit. I'm almost tempted to let Aggie hit me in the face for what I've done.

I know Aggie can be a little ball of rage - I mean, I've experienced it first hand, many times, but I'll hold her back if she's feeling violent.

Jen, I'll always care for you, and you know I'd never use any lines with you - or anyone for the matter. Just... I know this sounds silly but try not to take this too hard? It's my fault this time.

I feel it's my fault for making you this way. For making you so wary of relationships. Wary of me.

I'm not... wary of you, it's just. Right now everything has gotten so crazy, I just don't think I can juggle so many things, because I fear that I might go crazy too. And no one wants a crazy Healer, haaa.

If you say so. I trust what you say. Even if you don't trust my word. I'm always there for you if you need someone after work and don't feel like sitting alone at your flat. You know how close I am to Mungo's.

You're lucky to still have your job. It's terrible that people are going without a way to make a living for themselves, even if it is for their own good..

How are you otherwise? We haven't talked in a while.

Hey Lia! I have already accepted that our current Wizarding Ministry is full of crock, so it makes dealing with it a bit better.

I'm pretty good so far, how about you? Excited to be married?

[LIA] Um. So I kind of have a problem, and as an ex of mine, could I ask your help? You're free to say no, if you wish. [LIA]

The Ministry is really only trying to look out for the---

Oh, I'm not married or engaged, actually. I am living with Grayson now, though, which I suppose is much the same thing anymore, and that's pretty good.

[SMETH] I'll do what I can. Shoot! [/SMETH]

Sooo I don't know if you heard but awhile back, Jen dumped me via a note and moved to Rome and she came back, and wants to get together but I just can't and I dunno, I'm kind of concerned about what to do now.

Help?

Well, if you don't feel comfortable with the situation while you're not together, imagine how wrong it'll feel if you do take her back. Then you'll be sitting there regretting the whole thing, but you'll be in deeper shit than you would have been if you just hadn't gone there in the first place.

I don't know Jen well enough to really tell you if you should trust her or not, but it seems to me like you've really got some misgivings about her. If you've tried to think through them and you don't feel any better, maybe you really shouldn't trust her? Like I said, I don't know her well enough, but.

I want to take her back, but. I know I won't be happy about it if I do. Aggie and I did a lot of talking and while we both know that she can be rather violent - she did make a lot of sense. Ugh.

Thanks a lot, Lia, you really helped.

You should listen to Agatha. Like you said, she's violent sometimes, but she's smart.

No problem. Good luck with Jen, whatever you decide to do.

She is, she really is. She's crazy, but crazy like a fox, which is why she's my best friend.

Thanks again, Lia. Take care, all right? And don't be a stranger!

Smeth, you're such an amazing man for being able to keep your head through this horrible mess and think of the people who actually need the kind of care St. Mungo's can offer.

I feel almost terrible for not being able to do anything.

Wow, that's really sweet of you, Rachel. I never knew

Maybe it's late, but if this isn't too forward? There's a great demand for assistant jobs at Mungo's, and because we're desperate, we're raising pay and vacation time. I hope you're interested!

Well! Meet me at St. Mungo's tomorrow in the lobby at 10 tomorrow? As I'll be taking over a serious workload, I'll need all the hands I can get!

How does Healer Assistant to Healer Smethwyck sound to you? Plus, I promise you won't have to touch anyone, only paperwork.

It sounds more amazing than you know.

And I wouldn't mind touching people! If I had gloves.

And lots of sanitizer potion.

We have a date, then, Healer Smethwyck!

Hi, Smeth! I don't want you to be all worried about Jen's sister talking to you, but I mean---I've known you since a baby, so--

Okay, I just don't understand my sister.

Hi Stell!

It's just. I dunno. I feel horrible about the whole thing, I feel like it's my fault. I think... she's showing early stages of depressing, I don't know what to do.

Ohhhh, don't feel like that! Merlin knows I myself get all excited about the prospect of you and Jen but---I would never want things to be forced between you two, that wouldn't be fair to either of you Is there another woman? Just tell her that, it'll make things--

But, she has told me she feels like she's stuck, so--I want to keep you updated with what she tells me and such I know what it's-- You know that--I know what it's like, and you know how to help fix it, so--teamwork, I suppose.

It's just... I don't want her harming herself in any way. We kind of talked it over, but I just don't feel like I can enter into any kind of romantic relationship with her - I hope you understand, it's just all so

I dunno, I can't help feeling badly about it all.
