Order Only: The Week from Hell
Sep. 7th, 2008 09:07 amThis has been a trying week, despite the good news about Albus.
The Granger girl is of course settling in nicely, though opposition has come from quarters I would never have expected. Arthur, Molly, you need to speak to your son Percy, I think. But Boot! Poor child, poor, poor child!
And Regulus Black. What strange combination of events brought him and Albus out of hiding at the same time? What will he be? I scarcely remember him except as a wayward child, and after eleven years, he is certainly not a child. Nor is he harmless, however pitiful his response to his journal might have been.
This year, I fear, will be my worst yet. To have children who have never known anything but servitude, to have children who can be so roundly and thoroughly abused without any repercussions, to have my hands tied with respect to defending them - I cannot express the frustration, the anger, that I am constantly crushing down. The sadism!
If I had my mouth, I would bite.
