Hiya again. Purely for the record, I've kept up with this thing well this month! Anywho, that's not really why I'm writing now. So, Joseph and I are at Grandma Angelina's; We've already said our goodbyes to our family, and we have all our school supplies here they just need packed properly. Grandma's going to be the one to drop us off at the station on the 1st, that way mum and dad don't need to. It's two days away, and it's just begining to sink in that we're really sixth years now. It's a funny feeling, knowing your less than a year away from being of age, and less than two years away on starting your future. Really, really weird.
Madison's already in france, Rosalie's dad Mr. Romano and her brother Jackson came to get her yesterday. They invited Madi to sleepover a few nights, and said they would take her to school since she and Rosalie both go to Beauxbatons together, it worked out great.
For the past few days, I was kinda grounded. Not just me, but everyone. Which was sort of my fault, I tried getting everyone else off the hook but mum wouldn't have it. Here's what happened: our parents were both at work, so naturally Madi, Joey and I know we're incharge and to watch over the younger kids. Well, we were. As soon as everyone was up and ate breakfast we played with them till about two in the afternoon, till everyone started getting hungry. I had an idea, so I dragged Joey and Madi into it and told the others to continue playing outside while we went to cook. I wanted to bake some kind of treat for everyone, I'm pretty good in the kitchen if I do say so myself, and Madison and Joseph do fairly well. I had them help get out all the ingredience and I grabbed mum's cook books and started flipping through them till I found a special family recipe for cookies.
Of course, we couldn't just make cookies. We would have to eat lunch first. Have something good before eatting sweets, that's always been a rule in our house and from generations before (Grandma Angelina doesn't abide by it all the time, admittedly) so we put the cookie stuff aside. I gave Joey the job of cutting up fruit and putting it into a big plastic bowl and Madi was to clean and set the table, I took to making sandwiches. Once we were done, we saved the lunch we prepared in the fridge and started on the cookies, that way while they baked we could get everyone inside to eat.
Well.. what is my family, if not completely chaotic and crazy?
Gabriel ran inside, being chased by Katie, who was followed by Julian who had Lydia on his back, and Lissy wasn't trailing too far behind. I heard a SMACK and then a CRASH! and an echo of 'oops's and 'uh-oh's. Katie started yelling about something the next minute right before I got into the livingroom. Gab was crying, Lissy had accidentally ran Katie into the wall, which shook the fireplace just enough to knock mum's vase of flowers down. Gabriel tried to pick it up, and got a cut. That took a good twenty minutes to sort out, but we saved the flowers, cleaned Gabie's finger, and got them to settle down. But they followed me back into the kitchen.
Long story short, it started with flour being thrown, and ended in water being thrown. Mum came home early, and I'm almost positive I really saw steam coming out of her ears. Dad came home after she called, and he grounded us because mum was too angry to see straight to do it herself. I'm sorry, yes we did something wrong, but why are we being grounded for that?! We annoyed the popcorn man enough to anger him and then hit him in the head with a ball for merlins sake and we didn't get introuble! I'm not sure whether I should be grateful for that, or .. yeah, maybe I should just be grateful. Nevermind. Anyways, dad was disappointed in us. He said we should know better, and we need to stop stressing mum out especially right now because it's not good for her or the babies. I don't get why he can't see if it's not us, it's something else. It's not always going to be our fault but she'll still be stressing over something, so why is this being made a big deal? we were just having a little fun.. and it could have easily been cleaned up and forgotten about. Man, if they wouldn't have come home early they would have never known! I don't think it's fair the little kids got introuble too, I was incharge and I should be at fault only for letting it happen. I better stop talking about this before it gets me worked up and annoyed.
Obviously, Grandma Angelina is to thank for mister lost in a book again, and I being here. I've no idea how she got mum to agree, but she did. Grandma's been talking to us about our futures too. I suppose I didn't expect it, but I didn't not expect it either. Instead of like every other little girl that dreamt about who there 'prince charming' would be, I always thought about whatI would be when I grew up. Since first year, I started thinking about careers within the magical world, and till now I had gone undecided on what I truly, really wanted to be. I always knew I wanted to work with creatures, non-magical or magical. Eitherway, I would be satisfied. Figuring out what kind of job involving creatures was the question.
Today, my Grandma was telling me about one of her old friends she had met way back from school when she was just a child. Her name was Isadora Bass, and now Bass is her maiden name since she married Oliver Foxx, another person Grandma knew from her days attending Hogwarts. Her point of telling me of this friend, I found out a few minutes into the conversation. Isadora is a very talented witch, very skilled within the magical world, and non-magical. Grandma said not only was she a muggle veterinarian but a wizarding one too. Grandma Angelina didn't give me too much detail, except assuring me Isadora definitely knows her creatures and whatnot. Isadora has her own business where she lives, or somewere around there in new zealand I was told. Grandma and her have talked, and they both thought it would be an amazing idea if she trained me. If that's what I want, which I do! She's more than capable of it, she's trained many others. The thing is since I'm off to school again, I can't meet her yet. We haven't arranged when I can, but I'm suppose to owl her once I get to Hogwarts.
I'm very excited about that. I know exactily what I want to be once I graduate now, and I know whose going to teach me. She seems like a very nice lady, Rabid must not have any complaints. That's the friend Grandma takes Rabid to or has come see him, a few times during the summer just to check up on his health and stuff. It's important, since he's not like any other badger. He was never raised around them, so of course he's not. He's more like.. a dog, I guess. Still a little different from a dog, but that's the closes thing I can think of similar to him. Keeping his diet as normal to your regular badger's is the main concern, though. And he's done just fine, he's grown so much since I first rescued him.
Oh! I almost forgot I need to ask Grandma if I can take her camera with me again, Molly and I will need it!
