Anyone who would kidnap a child is a reprehensible being, but to do it because of rumor and lies, ones concocted simply to bring attention to oneself and serving only to insult others and start pointless, ill-mannered, simple-minded speculation? That makes you the lowest form of life imaginable.

You will be caught and when you are, you will be punished.

I know this person is one of your followers, everything they have said simply screams that they are a Death Eater.

I want Carina Sarcelles returned to me by tonight or so help me I will see every last fugitive Death Eater imprisoned in Azkaban.

Leave it be, this person simply wants a reaction, one we will not give to her or him.

I love you.

Though Christmas is still over a month away, I think it prudent to finish my shopping quite soon because the time from now until almost Christmas will be quite busy.

Those of you who have not given me a list of ideas shall need to do so promptly.

[Private to Bastan]
Darling, I have started on the general decorations for the manor but I have not yet had the house-elves procure the trees. I thought that, if you liked the idea, we might all (you, Allyssa, Carina, Regulus, Draco, Daphne and myself) choose the trees personally and then decorate them together. What do you think?
[/Private]

[Private to Regulus]
He is gone. I will need to handle arrangements and then go inform Bastan, please contact Draco for me and ask him to be at the house in the morning.
[/Private]

[Private to Rabastan]
There is... I am coming to the Centre in two hours time so the guards will likely be alerting you to that shortly.
[/Private]

[Private to Andromeda]
There is news I must give you and it would be better given in person. Would you prefer to come to my house or have me come to yours?
[/Private]

[Private to Bastan]
*audio again instead of a written entry, her voice is soft*

I am sorry.
[/Private]

[Private to Bastan]
*small ink splatters*

*not quite soft sound of something glass or glass-like breaking*

((It's private to Bastan as she sat down to write him in her office then paused to read recent journal entries and the ward caught her reaction.))

It is remarkable how one can think giving a name to a journal entry suddenly makes it a publication. Why, those of us with more than one written entry are veritable scions of news.

[Private to family/friends]
Draco, do not engage them, they only wish to validate their pointless rambling with your outrage.
[/Private]

[Private to those in the know]
Fret not about this, loves.
[/Private]

[Private to Bastan]
I am afraid I am feeling a bit under the weather to day, my love, and may not be in to see you or to work today. I will make certain Allyssa has a chance to see you today, however.
[/Private]

Daddy?

((staying here, I'm stupid and realized it could continue here))

[Private to Bellatrix]
I never asked you to kill for me.

[Private to Bellatrix]
Malfoy Manor was nearly destroyed tonight with me in it, had I gone to meet your little friend.

Is that what you want, me dead?
[/Private]

[Private to Bellatrix]
Last night, I was beseeched to aid a boy who wished to give himself up in exchange for time in the Centre. I was to meet him tonight at Malfoy Manor. This morning, a boy by the EXACT same name entered the Centre... and had no idea what I was talking about when I questioned him appearing in the Centre, thereby cancelling our meeting.

Are you attempting to set me up, sister dear?
[/Private]

[Private to Ares]
Ares,

Draco mentioned that a boy named Ares had spoken to him over the journals, so I thought trying this method of contact would work best this time.

I will assume your mother has already told you that I now know about you* but I wanted to contact you on my own terms. If she has forbidden you to speak to me**, I will respect that, but I could not leave you unacknowledged now that I know about you.

- Aunt Cissa
[/Private]

((Ummm... DANI FELL ASLEEP AGAIN but I'd think that *yes she would have told him and **no she wouldn't have done that. Once her temper cools down too I think she'll be more agreeable. And if I'm wrong, Dani can smack me later. ETA: Dani is back and I was right. :D))

This weekend seems destined to be exhaustingly busy with the final preparations for the Centre to officially open on Monday. Anyone looking to reach me during this time would do best to make an appointment so I can arrange my schedule accordingly.

I would like to make it known that despite some very talentless efforts at impersonation by an objector to the project, there has been no halt in the planning and construction of the rehabilitation centre. All efforts for it will proceed on schedule, if not slightly ahead, and we are looking to introduce the first individuals in mid-March. While I welcome correspondence of positive or doubting nature, I will not continue to tolerate the efforts of any individual who assumes the identity of any living, former or deceased kin to prove a very questionable point.

((Due to an unfortunate location choice while using her journal, Cissa tossed it out the window after the last response from the person she thinks is pretending to be Sirius - it was the mention of Regulus that irked her enough to do it! A house-elf only recently fetched it, so she missed any entries between then and now. Now she's calm enough to address the issue publically. Feel free to respond in whatever way despite what she's said! *loves this conflict*))

( Hexed private to Bellatrix )
((This is in response to this entry, she's just going to give her reply right here so the exchange is time-equal with the f-list.))

I do hope everyone had a lovely time for Christmas. The snow looks quite lovely outside my window though I find I miss seeing the gardens. Spring will be here before we even expect it, I would imagine.
