| 3:24 pm | Ain't got nothing but love, babe, eight days a week Happy Halloween to everyone, of course. And I've been reading the 5 fun facts entries. I feel that I should jump on the wagon! Five Fun Facts about Ted Tonks 1. As a child, I wanted to be an inventor. Andromeda might say that this never changed, as I enjoy putting things together. 2. I harbour a likely unhealthy obsession with sixties muggle rock. The Beatles are, of course, number one. Rolling Stones and Monkees are tied for two. 3. I'm not terribly fond of football, but would have been a Quidditch Hooligan were I not going to school. 4. I believe that I made Dora believe that "All Together Now," by again the Beatles, was written specifically for her for years. I think it should have been. 5. I genuinely enjoy teaching the extra classes. |

| 10:14 pm | Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box One would think that I'd be more diligent about scribbling my musings out onto paper. Save my poor, darling wife from listening to me prattle on about Quidditch scores and Beatles albums. She's a godsend, that Andromeda. Alas, apparently the same said godsend has decided to spend time with other women, as women do, and leaves an old man to muse and mutter to himself currently. After having fixed up a few things in the garage, that is. Our wedding was small, but I was the happiest man in all of the wizarding world. In all of the world, magic and non-magic. I still am. I still get to look over and see the most beautiful woman. Generally, she's trying not to mess up my kitchen. I could wax sentimental even longer. It's your fault, Ernest, truly. The wedding was brilliant and beautiful. Got me thinking of my own. For penance of that, I think a little manly bonding of some sort is required. Remus. Don't think you can get out of this, either. Severus, I haven't the same pull with you. So I am simply requesting your presence along. |

| 10:32 am | Finding the journal is worth it. The day is growing closer, when students leave and do all of that sort of sentimental growing up rubbish. I remember when my own daughter left school. I was so proud, and so scared. Yes, I was scared. It's difficult to let go. The unknown is so vast and we're infinitely small in comparison. I believe that, on this day, children and parents trade places. It is the parents who are infinitely small, feeling as the children had on their first day at school. Hopeful and worried, frightened and elated. The children become the parents then, larger than life, ready for for the world to open itself. And consistently reminding their parents that it will be alright. And it will. Eventually, it will all be alright. So children, as the Ghost of Christmas Present said to Scrooge about Christmas Future, "Go forth and know him better, man." We parents will be just fine. ( Private to self -- Andromeda is privy ) |
