| 11:51 pm | If any of you've got friends or family whose home or shop is vandalised, please encourage them to file an official report with the DMLE. I know these things seem low priority, but we've managed to scrape together a team of a few trainees at least to have a proper look into it. If some connection can be made across them then maybe it'll lead us somewhere. |

| 10:43 pm | [ Private ] Maybe I'm just not fatalistic like the rest of them because now I'm just numb. Dorcas was a great girl. An asset to the Order, a real laugh, a great match for Gideon... Maybe I've just reached my limit. Or maybe after Fabian and Gideon I'm through caring what the rest of the Order thinks. Every time I try to help or take charge of something instead of just moping about it gets thrown in my face. I'm surprised no one's blamed me for what happened to Dorcas, considering actually trying to do something and fuck. All I can do now is my job, and look out for my family. That's all I can do. That's all anyone can ask of me or of anyone. |

| 12:53 am | [ Order ] The department is calling off the surveillance on that shop in Knockturn where Bellatrix Black was sighted. We haven't got the manpower to keep it up when there's little chance she'll show again. I know it wasn't much of a lead but it's the only one we've got, and even if it has grown cold I think it's worth following up on. Moody still thinks she's the one who attacked the Boneses. That's good enough reason for me to stand outside a dodgy shop for a few nights, or as long as it takes. So anyone who can, better something than nothing, I think. Even if we can't keep it covered all the time. |

| 11:47 am | Neville's going through a naked phase. |

| 10:10 pm | [ Dorcas ] I should say something to them, shouldn't I. Don't know what. Can't figure out if I'd rather they hadn't said anything at all. I'm sorry, shouldn't drag you into this. You're more of an impartial observer. Don't mean to make it seem like I'm claiming you for our side. Our side of two, now. I just don't know what to say to them and I should probably say something but what's the bloody point, now? Glad you came to dinner. |

| 4:21 pm | You’re all awfully quiet. You’re still allowed to write here, you know. Look, I’ll go first. My incredibly talented son, after having dazzled tens of people with his rendition of (something that sort of sounds like) “Happy Birthday To You,” has now moved on to composing. He recently debuted his first original work, which is known around the household as “The Daddy Song.” The lyrics and tune change a bit every time, but I’d say the word ‘Daddy’ pops up about 90% of the time. It’s very catchy. I’m going to see if we can’t get it on the wireless. He’s going to be bigger than Celestina Warbeck. |

| 2:26 pm | [ Alice ] Funny how today, just being at work, I miss you and the worm more than I did some days when I'd gone weeks without seeing you. |

| 8:16 pm | In case there's anyone who hasn't heard, the service will be held tomorrow. 6 PM, the Hog's Head. You're all invited. It's been requested that we not wear black and that we drink copiously, and so on. |

| 2:02 pm | [ Private ] It was bad when everyone was fighting. But I think it might be worse that now no one's saying anything at all. |

| 1:23 pm | If anyone's got some hangover remedy to spare and could owl it to me right away, I would be forever in your debt. Cheers. [ Gideon ] Evidence suggests someone was sick on my shoes. I'm choosing to blame you. I am now 27 and obviously much too mature and too practised at handling my alcohol. |

| 11:35 pm | [ Gideon ] I don't know if you'd planned on having a birthday drink last night, and I probably should have said something beforehand, but as you might have guessed I ended up letting Alice convince me to visit. But let's make up for it this weekend? Tomorrow? Didn't feel entirely like my birthday without it. |

| 12:29 am | [ Lily ] You Potters doing alright? |
| Friday, August 7th, 2009 | |
| 8:06 am | [ Gideon & Fabian ] I'm not sure how much longer I can do this. This Alice being alone thing. |
| 12:06 am | [ Alice ] Switching to journals here. As I'm I'd feel better if you weren't alone. They chose the Potters. They could very well have chosen us. They still could choose us. Maybe it's unlikely, as they have limited manpower, but they attacked two sites last time. I haven't heard how it's going over there. If I don't hear soon I may go myself, after all. |

| 10:07 pm | [ Alice ] Thank you for an amazing weekend. You're incredible. You're fantastic. You've no idea how hard it was to make myself go back to work today. I went round to Mum and Dad's for dinner and showed them the photos. (Well, not all of the photos, obviously. |

| 5:23 pm | [ Alice ] So at this point I reckon I may as well wait for Nev's birthday, to come over. |
| Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 | |
| 1:47 pm | [ Order ] Alright, here's what happened. I think most of you have heard the gist of it so far, but basically, I stayed late at work and got the idea in my head I'd rather go surprise Alice at her safe house than go home. I normally take a few more precautions, but in this case I I don't know if someone was waiting for me there, or has been watching me, or what, but someone grabbed me and came as a Side-Along. I I don't know what they were playing at. It was not an especially great plan on their part. Even if I had been fool enough to Apparate directly to Alice's, I'm not sure what one Death Eater planned to do against two Aurors (and one mighty baby.) Maybe the idea was to Disapparate as quickly as he could and return with reinforcements, although they should have learned by now that we've got ways of calling for reinforcements of our own. Maybe they weren't after finding Alice at all. Anyway. I'll be more careful from here on out. |

| 9:38 pm | [ Alice ] On my way. |
| Sunday, July 19th, 2009 | |
| 11:04 pm | [ Alice ] I've got a scoop on Fabian's love life. Did I beat you to it? |
| Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 | |
| 5:18 pm | [ Alice ] I've just realised, you know what else is around the first? Neville's birthday. The little newt is going to be a year old. A year old! Merlin, but I wish we could get the whole crowd together to celebrate. I know my Mum for one is going to have a fit that she can't be there, but we'll just have to take plenty of photos, I reckon. I don't know if I can make it exactly on the 30th, but maybe I could take off work Friday the 31st, we do the cake and ice cream thing, then we shut the birthday boy up in a cupboard alone and shag like mad all weekend. How's that sound? And don't worry, I'll find some other time to pop by before then, too. How's life? |
