Uhuh.. I'm truly the worst diary owner to ever live. Or Journal, whatever. An empty book with many pages that you fill in, it's all the same. Maybe I should say I'll write again in another six months, then I would be able to say 'Ha! I was early' .. We could hope atleast. That would be the one and only time I bet, too.

So I'm home now. Erhm, not feeling much better than I had on the last day. For one, Alexis and I aren't talking. We haven't stayed upset with one another longer than five minutes maximum, and she's my neighbor, our families are friends.. it's just kinda.. I dunno, I feel weird because of it. Sad, too. I didn't mean to sound the way I know I did, when I told her 'Finally figured it out huh?' I hadn't meant to say it at all. Frederic just had me so mad! I'm no better than him, though. I shouldn't have reacted that way and maybe I shouldn't have tried saying anything to him either.. Lexi was right there and she thinks we're (Frederic and I) sorta 'friends' or atleast she had. Till I asked a stupid question (His bag was making a noise, and I'm not going crazy I think it shifted even the littlest bit!) and how was I suppose to know his temper is the size of a teaspoon? I wasn't expecting him to break the glass he was holding or anything. If I had been, I would have kept my mouth shut. Breaking the cup wasn't the bad part, not really. That was easily put back together. It was the obvious anger he had shown, and that's all it too - Alexis realized we can't stand eachother. After that, everyone went their seperate ways, Ari came with me and we went to talk to Mia, but only Tancred was at the Hufflepuff table. He said we just barely missed her.

I was suppose to sit with them on the train, but I hadn't. I didn't even see them, and that's probably my fault. I wasn't in much of a mood to talk to anyone. I found Joey, and we shared a compartment. He's good company when you just want peace, you know? Joseph didn't push me to talk, but was waiting patiently to listen when I was ready to actually say something, explain why I was in such a gloomy mood.

Coming home, I thought I would be greeted with bright smiling faces and big hugs and excited squeals, but to both Joey and my confusion, everyone looked the way I was feeling. That's when Dad took us in another room, and told us the news. A little less than a month ago my mum's older brother Adrian had died. A potion experiment at work had gone incredibly wrong, and he didn't survive the explosion it caused; He was with us the first three days, but it had done too much damage to his body. Uncle Adrian had always known the risks and dangers of his job, and he had always been the dare-devil type (I think that's where Conner had gotten it from) but nonetheless that didn't prepare any of us for this. And, It gets worse; Mum's baby sister, Grace, and her husband Philip (Tristian and Lima's parents) were in an automobile crash. No one knows why the accident happened, it just did.. and neither made it.

We've already been informed about the current plans, concerning our cousins at least. Samuel, Uncle Adrian's son, is with Aunt Silvia, Uncle Leo and the kids. No one wanted him staying with Step-mum #6, he's known her for maybe eight months. Uncle Adrian and #6 (No I don't know her name! Sam numbers them and so far that works well) were going on two months into their marriage. Sam's family, and he's going to stay close now.

Tristian is an adult, and is a big git as usual. He wants nothing to do with the family even now, it's highly disappointing and honestly, it upsets me. That's NOT how Aunt Grace raised him to be, nor Uncle Philip. That's not okay, it just isn't. But if he ever has a change of heart, everyone will be willing to take him back under the family wings. Because that's what family does, no matter how dumb someone can be being, or mean, we may have our differences but we're still one big huge family and we all love eachother despite our mistakes. Maybe one day Tristian will realize that, personally it seems doubtful but I've been wrong before. I just hope Lima would forgive him, as well.

Speaking of her, Whiggalima is going to come live with us. Madi and I have already started making plans of how to change our bedroom to make her more comfortable since it'll be her room too. She's at Maddox's house for alittle while, but mum's going to pick her up and bring her home when she's done visiting.

Right now, we're in the van on our way to the ministry of magic over here in Italy, where mum works. She's been the head of the International Magical Cooperation Department for years now, since I was around five if I remember right. Anyways, at home our fireplace isn't hooked up to the floo-network, because we're in a muggle neighborhood, we can only have that arranged to work temporarily; it's very risky to, and mum needed to visit her office for a moment to check something over. She's taking a bit of time off work, we're going to use the floo-network there to get to Grandma Angelina's and Grandpa Carl's house. Mum thought it would be a good idea that we stay over there a few nights, and frankly I do too. Mum's been having alot of breakdowns today. How she's made it all this time without crying once I will never know, but it makes me feel bad seeing her like that.

It got to everyone, this morning. We all cried, except Joey but he wasn't home, he had gone to our grandparents house a day early. Now Lydia, Lissy, Gabriel, Julian and Katie are half-asleep in the back seats. Madi, too, beside me. Mum pulled herself together quiet well (though I know her to be a strong woman, so it's not surprising); While we packed our things I could hear her and Dad talking. I know everything will be alright; it's a hundred percent normal to grieve, and right now what we need is to be together. Mum said alot of relatives would be in and out of Grandma Angelina's, too. Not just us. I half wondered if my older siblings would show up too, with their little families alongside.

The next few days will be hard, but with each day things would infact get easier. With each hour, and minute. This just meant.. they were meant for something bigger and better, and they couldn't do that here on earth. Aunt Grace, Uncle Philip and Uncle Adrian will be missed, but they'll always be in our hearts. And now.. I better go, we've arrived.

- Somber days, Badger ♥

Saturday is here. We'll still at Grandma Angelina's, no idea when we'll be going home and I don't really mind eitherway. I love it here, and guess what? Mum was right. There's been a LOT of people in and out since we arrived a few days ago. Nikolas, Jasmine and baby Kristopher are here; both took time off work to come, Regina came too instead of going home like she had originally planned. Emmy, Axel and the kids are here as well, along with Dusty and his best friend from Durmstrang: Rocco (AKA Ballerina Boy). Mum said auntie Silivia, uncle Leo, Sammy, Danny, Samuel and the twins (Breanna and Ethan) should be coming today, she thinks but can't be a hundred percent sure of. Mum's being rather forgetful lately, but it's understandable. If I recall right, Axel left just a little bit ago to pick up Leah (Rocco's little sister, also a friend of Katie and Julian's) and Jae (Dusty's cousin).

Grandma suggested someone owl the Chosens to come over. I should find this odd, but that's Grandma Angelina for you. I recently found out that Alphonse (Lexi's dad) has been really good friends with my mum and aunt Silvia for ages and ages now, since they were kids! Anyways, mum's doing that. I think there's more to it than just 'a celebration of life' going on, personally, and yes that's what Grandma Angelina is calling it. Everytime I walk into a room filled with only adults, they clam up at the sight of me; it's rather scary! I've no idea if that's a bad thing, but I can't see how it could be a good thing either!

Oh let's just forget about that, no use worrying over.. whatever it is or could be. I have much more news for you! I am going to be a big sister, again. And again, and again. I know, I'm already a big sister to six (Madi, Juls, Katie, Lis, Ly and Gab) but you'll never believe it, mum's having triplets! - NO. I am not dim, I knew this once I saw mum after getting home it's just taken till now for me to announce it to.. you. a half-full book. Nevermind that either. As I was going to say, that's not all. Alexis' step-mum Rae (who is super awesome in my opinion) is expecting twins. See what we miss while we're off at school? We should consider ourselves lucky, actually. From what I heard Legend had a fit over it, according to Katie and I really doubt my younger siblings reacted any better at first. I know they didn't, mum was crying again the other night; Joey, Madi and I were the only ones up so we went to talk to her after figuring out where the sobbing was coming from. She felt bad, because it didn't seem like anyone except her and dad were happy about the babies. That upset me a little, while I can understand the younger lot not finding it as wonderful as mum wished, that still isn't necessary to voice infront of or around mum.

The next morning I had a talk with them, and they wound up having me answer some questions. One was about how that's even possible, now that our two eldest siblings were married with small families of they're own; they wanted to know how that would work, since Lainie for example would be almost four and a half years older than her aunts and/or uncles.

They're young though, all under the ages of ten so I could see why that seemed like an important fact, although really it wasn't at all. I kindly pointed out that Lainie doesn't even have to call Katie and Julian aunt or uncle. In my family, it's not really.. required, to do that. Not unless it's a child and adult, then that's a little different. It would be more proper, under those circumstances.

Hmm. What else to say..

I'm trying not to think about whatever the adults could possibly be planning, or discussing rather. I'm not suppose to be impatient, and thinking about it will drive me crazy at this rate. Maybe I should concentrate on something else. Hmm. Oh! Guess what? Emmy and Axel asked me to be Colton's godmother, and Dustin to be Ember's godfather! I was so shocked, honestly I can't speak for Grizz but I hadn't been expecting that. Grizz is Dusty's nickname by the way. 'Cause he's a big grizzly bear.

Speaking of bears, reminds me that I should probably go into the backyard and find Rabid. Tiger can help, he's sitting on my back right now; I'm laying on the soft shaggy rug in the bedroom that is serving as a nursery right now. The babies are all napping, Topher just fell asleep a few minutes ago. When I first pulled out my journal he was sitting up watching me with curious brown eyes.

Seriously though, I should go. I haven't seen Rabid yet today and it's already around one in the afternoon. He's grown SO much since the last time I saw him!

Sorry that it's been a while since I read.

I may be bad at some of the family stuff and whatnot, but I still love the entries.

But the one with the deaths was sad.

Good job!

It hasn't been six months, I win! Anyways, this time it really wasn't my fault I didn't write; I forgot you, and it's not as if I would have had a free moment to write anyways. Okay, so here's what happened: I found out what all the whispering and stuff was about. Grandma Angelina planned a vacation, for EVERYONE. Her and Grandpa, mum and dad, auntie Silvia and uncle Leo, ALL the grandchildren and great grandchildren, AND the Chosen family, Rocco and his little sis Leah, the Lawley's and O'Callaghan. Basically anyone and everyone Grandma Angelina considers part of the family, that she could get her hands on.

Super SUPER fun. And even more chaotic.

We went to Forks, washington. Dusty's mum's side of the family live there, believe it or not it's where Kaitlynnh and Julian were born, nine years ago on valentines day. We've gone there since as far as I can remember. Mum's known Catalina (Dusty's mum) and family for ages, I guess. I never really asked, it was just sort of obvious.

It was awesome to get to see everyone ago, though I don't really care for people telling me 'My how you've grown up, your such a pretty young lady now!'. Kato, a cousin of Dusty's I've known for forever it feels like, kinda gave me a small scare. I had no idea he's an animagus, a wolf at that. So naturally when a wolf walked up and nuzzled me, I didn't think it was a human I decided to pet. He got a real laugh out of it, and mum scolded me for petting him because I thought he was a real wolf. 'Wild animals do not make friends, nor pets Savina! What are you thinking?' urgh.

Forks was just as beautiful as I remember it. Everythings green and healthy looking wherever you turn. They get so much rain, it should look that way. It rained a couple of times while we were there. Luckily it was nice, warm and sunny the day Grandma Angelina insisted we go to an amusement/water park. I didn't think with how many people we had, that we could do that. For one, how much it would cost, not to count anything else but she had planned this all ahead of time.

That was probably the most insane part of the trip yet. The only thing stopping mum from grounding everyone (not just her kids, but all of us) was Grandma Angelina. I am SURE of that. Grandpa told us older kids to go get cotton candy, and popcorn, and whatever, and the younger kids asked to come so we let them. Well, that was a big mistake. Legend and Katie started yelling at eachother, Gabriel BIT Legend (I was SO not expecting that one, I think Katie put him up to that), Legend chased him around while Danny tried telling him not to hurt Gab, Julian was shouting for everyone to stay with the group and Katie was chasing Legend. Kind of a dog, chasing cat, chasing mouse kind of thing you could say.

Anyways, Dusty, Samuel and Joey went after them and we kept the others, still trying to our treats we had the popcorn guy yelling at us because of all the commotion and then Jae topped everything off by coming out of nowhere with a soccor ball, accidentally kicking it at the popcorn guys head.

Yup. Mum's head looked like it was going to explode. It was scary.

Grandma and Grandpa told the parents to go relax, and they would take over and take us on a bunch more rides. Emmy went with them, she didn't ride on anything.. though we did have Ember and Colton along, but there was plenty enough people to watch them. Odd.. anyways. That wraps up that, except Miguel pushed me and Lexi off our double inner tube in the konga river. It's like a huge three feet deep pool, and the water pushes you forward (really strong mind you, it took forever to get everyone out sucessfully.) around and around. We got our revenge later that week, when we took a walk to the beach. Shoved him right into the water.

So, on one of our last days in Forks, the teenagers decided all of the of age people needed to get out and do whatever they want, without any kids to worry about. Not even the babies. So, that's exactily what we made happen. They didn't have an excuse not to, we had Rocco, Dusty, Joey, Samuel, Sammy, Vee, Kato, Me, Lexi, Miguel (if you could count him), and several others! I think we could handle a bunch of kids under the age of ten.

We did, too. It was another crazy day, but that's not new. We made them leave at eleven in the morning, and they weren't allowed to come back till ten at night. By that point, the kids would be sleeping. Grandma Angelina thought the idea was incredibly sweet. We thought it was necessary, after all this whole vacation was to celebrate life, rather than mourn death.

And guess what? getting the kids to bed wasn't that hard, we only had one problem and that was Miguel causing Katie to start yelling after I got Kristopher, Colton and Ember to sleep. Thank merlin himself, none of the three woke up. Unfortunately I had to finish my letter to Curt real fast, to go find out what was going on, but it was no biggy.

Over all, it was a blast. Best summer ever. I wish Curt could have been with us, but we wrote back and forth a few times. He was in Godric's Hollow, at his brother's house with his family. I know he doesn't get to see all of his siblings in one place alot, so I was glad to hear that.

Anyways, I better go. I just spent the last twenty-seven minutes laying across my bed, Madi and Joey are probably waiting on me; we're going to take the younger lot to the park.

Cause naturally, Savannah would. If it isn't growling and snapping at her, she's going to pet the big fluffy animal

Even when it is growling and snapping at her, she concerned for it, not herself. She thinks it's doing that as a defense to protect itself cause obviously the creature doesn't know she's not going to hurt it.

Ohh! Now I have a ficlet idea

I do too

It's crazy how much family they have!

Thankyouuu!

Today the younger kids went to Grandma Angelina's house, their spending the night. Joey, Madi and I are here at home with mum and dad, both of which took the day off. I get the feeling they arranged this whole day on purpose, but I didn't ask. It was awesome, I'll tell you that. We got to spend time with, just the three of us, with our parents. Just.. bond the entire day. It was nice. Nothing against my younger sisters and brothers, I love each and every one of them to death, but naturally with so many kids in one house it makes it hard getting a word in when you want to. I can't remember the last time the house was so quiet, or the last time there was only a few kids around (same difference really, if you know my family).

It was probably back when Madi was the baby, whenever Emmy and Nik went to school it left Reg, Con, me and Madi at home. We also had school though, each of us. We went to this muggle school; it's my families tradition, I suppose you could say. We all attend a muggle school till the age of eleven, instead of attending a local wizarding school (it's kinda like for little kids, you don't learn anything too extremely important that your parents can't easily teach you) and once we hit eleven, we get our acceptance letter(s) and prepare to go off to a magical school.

I was going to say when Emmy, Nik and Reg were in school, but I realized then we had two new additions (Julian and Kaitlynnh) were babies in Regina's first year of Beauxbatons.

I'm trailing off a little, huh. Anyways the day was great. We all (minus mum) went to the park, dad played soccor with us for hours. When went got home, mum had dinner ready and everything. After that we were going to watch a movie, but we ended up sitting and talking. Which was even better.

I guess sometimes mum and dad feel the same way as us, that they can't always express what they want to, towards us, because they're always running around doing something else. We all agree, it's not a bad thing. Our family is HUGE, bigger than a giant (I got that from Lydia, the other day she said 'Our family tree must be bigger than a giant' which went onto her asking where the tree was, anyways..) we have our bad moments, as any family does. But we also love eachother more than life itself, no matter whether someone's mad at someone else, we're always there for one another when it matters. Basically, put more simply none of us would trade our family for the world. No matter how insane, hectic, chaotic.

Mum and dad both said they're very proud of us. Addressing us each seperately in that; mum never expected me to become a Prefect, for one. She's always had a lot of dreams and wishes for us, but that was never something she thought about for me apparently. She said it make her happy. I've proven to be a better student than she had been in her days, she thinks.

It's not that she thought I'd be a bad child or anything, it was just... she didn't ever mean to make such high goals for us in her eyes, it just happened. She doesn't want us to feel bad, or like we've failed, if we haven't met 'her standards'. I think the whole Emmy thing made her realize that. Mum and Emmy have always had a rough relationship, ever since she turned ten, when Stephan came into her life. It wasn't too bad, till he died two years later. That's when things went down hill and fast.

Mum's reaction to Ems getting married right after graduating, and then baby Lainie not too long afterward wasn't the best; she really hadn't thought of Emmylyne's feelings, she had such high hopes for her first child's life, it clouded her brain. They get along loads better now, and mum tries being understanding towards everything now, atleast at first. I think sometimes she had gotten jealous of her mum, because her kids were always excited and loved going over to see Grandma Angelina.

I'm glad she learned from the thing with Emmy, it really came in handy when Nikolas got married rather young (still older than Ems had been) not that we don't all adore Jasmine, and when Regina decided she wanted to move out to america summer after graduation.

No need to tell me (hehe, yeah right) I know, I'm falling off track again. Not surprisingly, our parents asked mostily about school. Joey and Madi were bugged about if they were seeing anyone, or if they had any crushes. Curt came up in the conversation too. No ones caught Joseph's eyes so far, frankly I'm not shocked. His head is always in books, he concentrates on learning and keeping up with everyone in our year. I'm amazed after just a year and ALOT constant studying, he is at the level he should be.

As for Madi, that was probably the very first time I've ever seen her face color like it did. Which, she did try hiding. She does, infact, have a crush. The thing is it's her best friend Rosalie's older brother Elijah. I've met the family before, their very nice. Madison seys she cannot like him, it goes against the best friend code. Mum and I both rolled our eyes, since that's incredibly silly. Joey told us not to encourage her, he's still getting use the idea of having his sister's date and he doesn't want another added onto that just yet. Dad laughed. After that, mum and dad starting reminiscing about when we were just little toddlers, which lead to other memories. Joey didn't know alot, for obvious reasons if you knew his past. He really seemed to enjoy hearring all about it, perhaps that's why mum started crying. I think it was also because she wished he could have been with us the whole time. Plus, mum's been more emotional than usual. It was surprising we didn't all cry from laughing so hard, too. I'll never ever forget when Conner and Wyatt accidentally blew up the kitchen. Mum's reaction, oh I thought multiple times she was just going to literally blow up too, just like the kitchen had.

Okay, I should go. I have to get up in five hours, we're going to Grandma Angelina's bright and early. I have to write one more thing: This morning dad was on the computer, and Madi was bugging him so I went over to see what they were doing. My sis was just asking about it, what it does and stuff, so he let us sit down while he explained, I got to play with the controller; dad calls it a 'mouse' funny.. it doesn't squeak. Anyways, you would think since I grew up around muggles and whatnot that I would know how everything made by them works. Well, I don't. Not everything. That contraption was just as confusing as the one that plays the movie, except instead of not being able to start it, I thought I broke it. The screen went black! And the power sound went away. What was I suppose to do? I started yelling for my dad. It turned out not to be my fault, Madison had pushed the wrong button. Her fault, not mine. Dad got the thing to come alive again, but killing it once was good enough for me.

- Innocent Badger; Madi did it! ♥

Summers just about over, I enjoyed summer very much but I can't wait to return to Hogwarts. The common room, mainly. It'll be refreshing to see the gold and black colors again.

I went to Diagon Alley two or three times, less than usual but I didn't have to get school shopping done since mum ordered our things ahead of time not expecting there to be enough time to go out and get our supplies, with all the family stuff going on this summer.

You'll never in a million years believe who I ran into, on one of the trips. And just for the record, this time I don't mean 'ran into' literally. Molly Woodrow. Oh yes, Molly. I could barely believe it myself, when I saw her in Florean Fortescue's. I never stopped hoping to see her again one day, and yet that still came as a big shock to see her. She hasn't changed too much in the past two years, definitely not on the inside either.

We sat for a bit to eat our ice cream, and talked the entire time. She told me what happened, why she disappeared a couple of terms back (during my third year). During christmas break her sister took her to australia to celebrate her being quidditch captain for our house, and while she was there she was stung by a billywig. She thinks she had an allergic reaction to the sting because instead of it causing the normal giddiness and levitation, she became really ill.

She had spent the next several months in a wizarding hospital over there, till her sister Jordan took her home and from there she had to rest. She was home schooled for the next year, regaining her strength and giving herself time to fully recover. She's all better now, nice and healthy and she's returning for her final year of school!

I updated her on most of what she missed. Whatever came to mind, atleast. I told her about Rabid; she wasn't surprised, just excited. She thinks we should take pictures of him out on the grounds this term, since she asked if I had a picture of him with me for her to see and I didn't.

My second trip was with Alexis, we had to get her school books and some other books. For something else. I'll tell you all about that later, though. So anyways after we left Flourish and Blotts I dragged Lex over to get ice cream, she had asked something about why Frederic and I don't get along before we left the store and I couldn't get her to answer why she brought it up. It was obvious, atleast to m
