[Hexed against Children]
I can't even-
My son. My baby boy-
He was almost-He almost wasn't-

I know that he's safe now and that I ought to keep that fact at the forefront of my thoughts, but I can't help but...He wasn't safe. For that short amount of time he wasn't safe and because of that I almost lost him. I very nearly lost him forever. My baby boy. I'm not naive enough to think that it wasn't because of who we are...I've seen too much...With Hermione gone and...

And I'm not being paranoid when I say there are people who would like to...they've shown what they think of us and...But he's a child. He's still so little and so...He wouldn't be able to defend himself given half a chance.

I need to...Harry we need to strengthen the wards around...I know that they were last month, but...Please.

[Hexed to the Malfoys and Harry]
I...I can not thank you enough for being there for my baby. Lucius, I can't even begin to imagine how I would've...If you hadn't...

Thank you.

Words cannot express my feelings of loss right now. Hermione Nott was a wonderful, brilliant, talented witch who made this world a better place. She brought out the best in everyone she knew and the world is a little darker without her here.

Dog has been following me around all day. It's starting to get a bit unnerving. Especially because he's continually knocking things with his tail, or stumbling over things like the clumsy beast he is. Can't figure out what this is about either. Usually he just lounges around the house or goes chasing after small animals in the yard. But he's having none of that. I tried to let him out, but thirty seconds in the yard and he was whining and carrying on worse than Lily did when she was four and prone to tantrums.

I think my children are improving with the breakfast cooking. A few more birthdays and they'll have it down pat. Though, I'm suspicious of Harry's helpful hand with this one.

Thank you, loves. A wonderful birthday indeed.

Billy I had a wonderful time at your party yesterday! I hope you enjoyed yourself as well! Did you like all of your presents?

My children are still properly blue from that birthday cake and I've even got some lovely streaks in my hair, though they look a bit more purply than blue...Must be the red. I have the instructions for a cleansing potion around these parts somewhere, but who can keep these things orgainzed anymore? S'no matter though. I'm rather fond of my streaked hair and my multi-coloured children so I think we'll keep them that way! What do you lot think? Enjoy being blue?

Right, well, I've let the children run around on their sugar highs from the candy they won from the pinata and now the house is in shambles. Best be off to fix that. At least at this rate we'll have no troubles at bedtime tonight, yeah?

Merlin, I'm knackered! Charlie, that daughter of yours is absolutely adorable...but exhausting. She had me running around all day! Between her and Lily...Well let's just say it's a good thing we have certain wards up in the house to keep the children from getting too far, yeah? Clever though. The pair of them. And sneaky as anything!

I did have loads of fun, though. Though next time I sit for you, I think I'll have to make sure that Harry has the day off so he can help. The good news is that Lily's exhausted as well and went right to bed after dessert without any fuss at all. Well, aside from the usual whinging for a story, but that was settled quickly and she fell asleep before I even got to the good part! Stayed there for a while just watching her sleep...

Alby? You're off to bed soon too, you know. Teeth brushed and everything, yes?

Harry? Darling? Love of my life? Would you mind terribly cleaning up the kitchen? I only just realized that I left it all in shambles when I went to tuck Lils in...And I just sat down and...I love you?
