Luna is almost seven months old. I can barely believe it, but it's definitely true. She just started teething and she cries and fusses and keeps us awake all hours of the night, but she loves being bounced, now. It's adorable. Other than the teething, she's still a very happy baby. She likes to smile.

I've been thinking about this for awhile, but I was considering maybe working part-time once Luna turned one year old. It's getting hard to work on my potions when she's getting into trouble, and I don't want to leave things lying about in case she gets in to them and hurts herself or whatever. So I thought maybe I could start working part-time for a company. Most of my potions work is done with cosmetic potions, so I guess a cosmetic company makes sense. And I can work while Chris is at home writing, it would be lovely.

Also, who knew family could get so busy in a flash! Annabelle is almost done classes for the summer and James and Pandora are moving - from London to Brighton, which will be nice - and, in a surprising move, Pandora's pregnant and she's due in early November. No wonder they need to move out of London! I can't imagine raising a baby in the city.

( Private. )

Luna is a month and a half, and she's just sweet. She's quiet and pleasant and oh, she's looking more and more like Chris every day. She's nice enough that she lets me read and do what I want unless she's hungry - and only then does she cry.

And I managed to find a way to make my hair straightening potion last for more than twelve hours! I just switched around some ingredient measurements, and it's perfect. Well, for me and my hair, anyway! It's just like a charm, but it lasts for twenty hours instead. I hope it wasn't a fluke.

What do you get a baby for her first Christmas? I don't even know. She has everything she needs.

So, I was going to tell everyone about what I did for my birthday (WHICH WAS REALLY FUN), but instead I saw this thing today and it was terrible.

I was getting some money from Gringotts today and there were so many Muggleborns all just standing outside because they didn't want anyone to go inside to take out money because they can't. Isn't that sad?

It made me feel so bad for them. I mean, some of them have money in their vaults and they can't use any of it!

Can we do anything? Anyone? It makes me sad to see the line from Madam Malkin's shop.

I haven't talked to anyone in ages! I've been so busy with work and everything that I just come home and do nothing, really! I'm working every day full time with Madam Malkin, now, and it's kinda fun but I don't like it all that much. It's only fun when people need your help picking things out.

SO. How is everyone? I miss everyone a lot!

I don't see why everyone's worrying so much about their exams! I've already taken two of my NEWTs (Herbology and Charms!), and they were really easy, and that means I'm almost finished which is brilliant!

Everyone should calm down. It's no big deal!

So, last night, instead of studying for NEWTs - which is really boring, anyway! - Marlene let me cut and dye her hair! And OH MY GOSH, have you seen it? It's so pretty! And we had so much fun!

I can't believe school's done in a month! I'm so excited to leave. It's been fun, but I bet it'll be more fun outside of school!

Oops. I've misplaced my hairbrush again. Has anyone seen it? Maybe Marlene or Libby borrowed it.

The Hogsmeade weekend was good, too. The Aurors looked a little silly, standing there, but some of them were really good looking! But not as good as Christopher, so that doesn't matter.

I think I'm going to go find something to do! Something that's not boring, too.

So, school's almost over! I'm so excited. I can't wait to not have to study again, ever. I really can't wait! Christopher keeps telling me that it's really not that bad, but I think it really is. It's kinda boring, and all, and it so much more fun to talk or whatever!

I heard that Winnie's in the hospital, and supposedly she's doing really well, considering she was missing. That's awesome! I hope she comes back to school. It would be really nice to see her again!

Anyway, I think Marlene and Vega and Naomi are trying to read, or something else boring. So I need to find something fun to do, since Libby's not here! Any ideas?

According to what people in the common room are saying, there was a party tonight. Hum. Oh well.

I'm working on another potion. I need feathers from someone, though. Any sort of feathers! Can anyone help me? I think it'll be good, so long as Naomi's not here when I do it.

And if anyone has an old pet toad with warts, tell me too.
