[Warded Private]July 24th.
It is so very much earlier than I had expected, but I can quite understand why. It will be a good thing to be so settled, even if it means I must change so much. There is nothing wrong with a garden wedding, however, and the grounds at home will be lush and lovely, and I am certain that it will be perfect.
I do have my dress now, and it is lovely.
And since we are having it in the summer rather than the fall, that means a change of colours, but I believe the shades of pinks and purples will be delightful for my bridesmaids. It will come together. I was able to plan the Christmas ball in much less time, really.
And I do hope that people will consider the Dark Lord's offer so that this fighting may end. I am so tired of hearing of death.
[Warded to Celeste, Olivia, Emmeline, & Bellatrix]As we will be moving the wedding date up, then I need to set up appointments with each of you for fittings as quickly as possible. The dresses will be in a dark purple and a dusty rose colours, and I would like for you each to pick your preferred hue of course.
[Warded to Rabastan]We will be doing an afternoon wedding with a dinner reception and the plans are under way.
I hope that it will be beautiful, but I do feel as if everything is coming along very nicely as it ought to be, despite changing the date as we have.
[Warded to Mother & Father]Thank you both so very much. I believe that the wedding will be so very lovely.

[Warded to Celeste]I thought that you should know that I have warded to the women and I suspect word will have gone out by now.
Both Laelia and Olivia have asked me to say that their thoughts are with you and their concerns.
Is there anything that you need?
[Warded Private]It is such an odd position to find myself in. I have always been so intimidated by her, but perhaps more than ever before I feel as if she might be as close to a true sister as I could ever have.
I hope for her sake that this passes quickly.
And I perhaps ought not to have been so free in my speech with Laelia, but it is the sort of thing that Celeste may not say without it reflecting poorly on her, and Laelia has a mother and sister in law that such speculation may get passed on to, and I honestly have no compunction in allowing the truth to be known. It is not Celeste who deserves the bad reputation at this juncture.

[Warded Private]I do not wish to mess up any questions that I might be directed. I feel dreadful for Celeste and I cannot imagine that this is in any way her fault and yet no doubt she will be expected to bear the brunt of it. And to think I considered Regulus a handsome young man and was even jealous of Celeste's engagement. I can hardly imagine what I was thinking -- clearly although he has better ideals than his brother there is a lacking in the Black line these days.
The only thing it has truly done is to be that much more grateful for Rabastan. He has been a gentleman -- he shows concern for his sister and his family, which shows so very well for him. I believe I will be very well cared for and I feel so very fortunate. I wonder though, if it is wise to wait until autumn. I suppose that is not my place to say. Nor would I want to make Celeste feel worse. Perhaps if she agrees to my invitation I shall tell Anselm that he should compliment her and speak with her for a few moments. I would not expect her to consider him a possibility, but I can only imagine that I would feel so dreadfully unwanted if it were me and just a kind word from a gentleman would remind me that not everyone is so dreadfully insensitive.
oh, I do not know what to say, but I suppose simple is the best way to go. I do hope that they shall be polite enough to not bother Celeste with questions.
[Warded to Female Death Eater Supporters]I know many of you noticed that Mr Black was not at Celeste's side during her Father's funeral. He has aban He called off the engagement a few days prior and the two of them are no longer intended to marry.
If you have any questions I shall do my very best to answer them; as I am certain you can imagine this has been a very difficult time.
[Warded to Rabastan]I thought I would let you know that Celeste has asked me to pass on the information regarding herself and Regulus. I have warded to those ladies in society and I am certain the word will spread from there.
I How have you been?

[Warded to Rabastan]If there is anything I may do for you, please let me know. I will be at the visitation and the service, of course. I know I am not yet family by law, but if you would like me to come to the burial I will e there. I should like to be by your side during this difficult time.
[warded to Celeste]I wish to send you my condolences, Celeste. I have spoken with Rabastan, but have not spoken with you and I cannot imagine how difficult this time must be for you. I know that you cared for your father a great deal and I can not even begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you.
I know that we are not yet sisters, but if there is anything that I can do that would help you through this time, please do let me know.
[Warded to Olivia]I hope that you are feeling better.

[Warded Private]I am so very useless.
I sit in my room and I look at colour swatches and what I may do to 'help' and I am no help to anyone. I have no earthly clue what to say to my fiance who has just lost his father... and I cannot cry over that as I did over Evan, perhaps I have cried every tear that I had over Evan. I worry for my Father, and my brother. I worry for my fiance, and for my brother-in-law. I know very little, but I know enough to know that there is very likely just cause for that worry.
I am no warrior Princess. I cannot fight to make the world a just place, but I almost feel as if my tea parties and attempts to help those who have been hurt do anything at all. When the world is falling apart, I pick out colours, and taste cake flavourings! What good is that to anyone?
Is it improper for me to see my fiance in this circumstance? I almost find that I do not care at all. I wish to be there for him, to comfort if I can, because I fear that if I am not that I am worse than useless. All of my best wishes and good hopes for the future are nothing if I cannot keep the ones I love from pain.
I suppose. I suppose that I do love Rabastan, if not -- oh honestly Dulcinea. What a time to make such a realization. But enough of these emotions. I must gather up my things to go to Rabastan's side. It is where I ought to be in all of this and perhaps more importantly, it is where I wish to be.

I spent most of the day in my room with a book and my cat. A hot cup of tea and a book is one of the easiest ways to make a day simply fly by I think. It is difficult to maintain a smile when so many circumstances are less than ideal, but I suppose that we owe this to those who are no longer among us. We must keep smiling and keep moving forward with our lives. It is what they would have wanted, I believe.

( Warded to Celeste )
With March, spring is upon us and I admit that it is one of my favourite times of the year. I love the rains falling and things slowly beginning to green again. It is dreadful that this spring is marred by so much pain and suffering. I do wish that people would realise that this is could be avoided.
I have turned my attention to my gardens and while in past spring I have planted flowers, I have determined that this spring I will plant more items that will generate food. There are many hurting currently and what is grown could be given to those suffering. I know it will be difficult to work it in among all my teas and It may be somewhat difficult to keep it well tended with the other work I have already promised to assist with, but I believe where there is a will there is a way.

[Warded to Rabastan]Rabastan, thank you ever so much! I feel as if I cannot say thank you enough. It is such a delightful animal. I keep being distracted by watching it.
