[Warded to Pepper and Damocles]

Frannie has gone on a rampage and insisted on blowing up the kitchen this weekend. Batter, fancy boxes, and there was even talk of lighting a few sticks on fire.

What are you fine fellas doing this Friday?

You are not

Can I hope the media was wrong about the borders being closed?

I'm sorry about Millicent.

Guess who is back on the team. Freelancing, but still, on the team.

The deadline to get one of those ID cards is today. Should I I don't even know what's best for my family anymore, but if it means a better chance of finding Siney

If I go, then perhaps I can find out if Siney has registered for one, I will be on some file, and perhaps can go back to work. If I don't, then am I condemning my family to live in hiding forever, even if things do get better? I should have thought about this sooner.

We're moving tonight to Hogwarts. Katie and Ryan are coming with me, but Frannie is staying with my brother-in-law in Newry. I don't know whether Professor Dumbledore will permit me to leave the grounds or how many others might be there. Thought I should at least let the lot of you know.

[added 2 minutes later]
I forgot about Strider. Think I could pass him off as a large cat? They won't allow him, will they? Ryan's going to

[Warded to Aberforth Dumbledore]
Thank you for the tip about Hogwarts. Might I ask a favor?

[Warded to Kate]
I saw your dad this morning. He's fine and seems more worried about you than himself.

I am getting so tired of this.

[Warded against Purists (save Tinsworth Rioting ones) and Pryces] (after this exchange)
Haven't enough lives been lost? Do we really need a bill to go through allowing a persecution of this level? Muggles are humans too! They live and breathe and get bludgered up over silly we things like the loss of a favorite trinket just like everyone else! One of you tell me you do not work and sweat and fear all for the sake of your family just like any other man! Every bloke and bird who rioted in Tinsworth should take a good look in the mirror and remind themselves that if this bill goes through then they will be just as responsible for each slaughter of an innocent child as the twisted individual who takes their life.

How sick can you get.

Why did I wait until the last minute? You never did. You always hounded me to get everything before the 24th. Now it looks like I'll be racing around the stores to grab what I need. Can you blame me? It's been hectic but I'm doing the best I can, love.    I hope you and Allen are watching them.

Mail Siney's letter.

We're switching traditions this year and letting Ryan open a few gifts on Christmas Eve. It's what his Mam and Da used to let him do. If any of you would like to join us, stop by after 2 tomorrow evening at any chance you can. Frannie and I have been cooking up a storm of Mam's old recipes. We'll be at the flat in Dublin. If you can't and we don't see you, then happy Christmas and stay safe.     ~GrB
