I confronted my father about his intentions. Never work with family.

I sigh, crumbling parchment in my hand and dropping into the wastebin as I walk by.

If it's not bad enough that Alexander owls me daily, my mother owls me at least three times a day. Last Tuesday it was six times, to tell me I should be going out with him and to leave business to my father.

Why didn't Father say something? He knows I own a large portion of the business.

So I decided it was time to say something to him.

Okay, so she wasn't exactly a damsel and I'm not really a knight, but close enough.

Inspiration strikes at the most unexpected times.

I managed to convince Padma to allow me to help her with something. One day, she'll thank me.

"Our relative is in the news again," Padma speaks up from where she is reading the newspaper. I have my foot on a towel, carefully painting my toes. I wouldn't mind paying someone doing it, but no place is open this late at night and I have to make sure they look good tomorrow. I am wearing sandals to go to the agency tomorrow. I am wearing a new skirt and a shirt that is very flattering.

It's been two days now....

Sometimes, in order to get the right information out of someone... you got to do a little bit of dangling.

I have never had this happen before.

I haven’t worked on any major procedures since the incident before. Instead, I have been taking care of minor problems. Some broken bones and of course, taking care of the children who stay overnight. As well as a former Hufflepuff on a horse. People are still talking about that. Yet, I knew soon I would be back in the thick of things. I was right.

Neville and I took a magical walk walk tonight. Though it didn't end how I expected.

I'm seeing Neville again tonight. This is either our fourth or fifth date. And I don't know what to really think because he hasn't kissed me yet. There were moments when it felt right...maybe he just wants a friend.

( My training is going...better. )

I woke up in the Leaky Cauldron, with a headache... the distressing knowledge of not knowing WHO I AM!

I dealt with some business today.

Keena is at the park with Aly. I swear if I had a knut for each time it’s been assumed that they’re mother and daughter, well, I’d have a lot of knuts, and honestly, I’m not interested in dealing with such small currency.

( And I have business to attend to. )

After work, I ran into someone I never expected to see again.

It is nice to get off work at a reasonable time, instead of forcing myself to work ten to fourteen hours. It is still light outside. I am finding that while I am working, sometimes on weekends, I still have more time to do things. Much better than what I was doing. Waking up, going to work, coming home and going back to bed. Then doing it all again the next day.

I'm happy as I leave. Things are finally starting to go right.

As I pass by a couple, my shoulder bumps into the wizard's. I turn to apologize, then stop short. "William?"

I can do this.

Getting married is no big deal. Wizards and Muggles do it every day.

( I put on my watch while going over my mental checklist. )

I don't think I can handle this anymore...
