It’s strange really how much life has changed over the past few months. One moment things are spiraling downward but lately there has been all this hope for the future. It feels like everyone is finding their place in the world. It’s strange how everyone is starting to grow up. I’d like to say it occurred overnight but it may have been happening slowly all along. It’s amazing how things come up and take us by surprise sometimes.
Speaking of growing up, it’s hard sometimes to let go of the past but sometimes the only way you can move forward is by pushing through it all. You can only run away from it for so long. Just because you want to pretend like the things that happened to you didn’t, they did.
There is something I’m ready to do and it can’t wait.

[Hexed against DEs]
Okay I’m out of this drama. I don’t like it and I don’t feel like getting in the middle of all of it. You are all my friends and I just get a headache dealing with it. Hex the shit out of each other for all I care. I’m not getting involved further. Anything but the messed up romantic entanglements are cool. I just – I’m not taking sides and you can’t make me.
I went out for a walk and from that I’ve decided to form a nudist colony. I’m going to never leave my new place again. It’s too scary and headache inducing out there. I’ll just open the windows to air out the fumes. You see, I’m just going to take off all my clothes and paint. It means I’ll only have to wash the paint off me and not the clothes. I won’t ruin anything. See well thought out plan.
The two happy things for today was the birth of my new boyfriend. Just playing but I bet he's adorable. I can't wait to meet him. The other was the escape of my real boyfriend from St. Mungos. It's a good thing he got out now. I was starting to think one of the nurses were going to steal him away.

During my wonderful stint of bedside watch on my handsome red-haired boyfriend at St. Mungos, I found the perfect place in the Prophet. I suppose it would have been polite to give you all some sort of warning that I was finally thinking about moving away from Muriel’s humble abode. Fred and I only discussed my interest in it days prior to the whole Ministry fiasco. It’s perfect in every way though. I even broke away from here long enough to go check it out this afternoon. It needs a little tender loving care and paint but it’s going to be genius when it’s finished.
Here is the floorplan:
( Spell-O-Taped In )
I'm not going to start moving in or working on it until Fred is back to 100 percent but it's something pleasant to think about. Anyone who feels like assisting with painting, curtain making, etc please let me know. I'll pay you in food and hugs obviously. Oh and it even has that guest room that if you ask nicely, I might let you crash in on occasion.
Step one toward getting things back to normal. Check.

They hate me but they’re not getting me to leave. I guess the fantastic legalities at St. Mungos call for family only to stay longer than the appointed visiting hours. There have been some valiant attempts to convince them that I am, in fact, family but they’re struggling to believe it because I don’t fit the family resemblance. How can they not see it? I mean, I totally look like a Weasley with my dark skin right? I don’t really give a flying flip what they think though. They’re not making me leave Fred. It just isn’t happening. Not even over my dead body are they going to make me leave. I’m rather permanently affixed into my chair in his room. If I leave and he needed something, I’d never forgive myself.
I guess I’m writing this so everyone who cares knows that I’m okay. Just scratched and bruised. I’m more worried for Fred than anything else really but he’s going to be okay. They (aside from trying to kick me out) have been giving him really good care. It’s a little crowded with the influx of injured. All things considered that’s better than the alternatives.
I’d write more but I’m going to try to lure an extra blanket off of the staff.

I’m having trouble sleeping.
I have not gone missing, I've simply gone in quest of ice cream. This is a perilous quest requiring I battle dragons and the such. If I get burnt, you should be advised that I'd probably end up in the appropriate ward at St. Mungos.
Worse case scenario is brain freeze. I'm not terribly concerned. I would worry about becoming a rotund old maid but I'm fairly sure my genetics still have me covered there.

Greece is absolutely beautiful! Fred and I are in Zakynthos which is essentially in the middle of paradise. It’s warm and lovely here. The water and beach are everything I imagined they’d be and so much more. I don’t think that I ever want to leave and that’s an understatement really. I’m completely content here. You have no idea how nice it is to be away. I’d almost forgotten about you all until I saw I’d tucked this away with some spellotape when I was trying to tuck away a few souvenirs. I hope you’re all having fun back in the UK.
There is this very dishy, red haired bloke looking at me. I think he might be hungry. The food here is good. I think we’re both going to come back with a few extra pounds on us. Then again, we’ve been spending the days doing active stuff so maybe not so much. There is so much to see and do. It’s nice to get out.
I just thought it might be nice to give you all an update and some pictures even if they are just spellotaped in. They’ll be much nicer in person. Be sure to send my love to Muriel. I think we’ve even managed to find her a nice souvenir.

Heads up!
I am taking Fred hostage and forcing him to take me away from Muriel. I need a break from her.
We’re not going to be in the UK so you don’t have to worry about that. We’re going somewhere safe. We just need a holiday. I promise you that he will get home safely. I just haven’t decided when we’ll be coming home. Maybe we’ll be gone a week or two. We’ll let you all know when we get back or if there is anything important that you should know.
Please don’t try to lecture us out of this or tell us that it isn’t appropriate timing for a holiday especially considering my situation. You’ll fall on death ears.
Tell me what you want for a souvenir. We’re going to be somewhere in Greece.

Hearing antidotes about an older woman and her own sexual appetite when she was young woman is NOT my ideal form of afternoon while sufficiently telling me how to lead my own life is not fun.
Fred Weasley, you’re grounded for leaving me with your Aunt Muriel for company this afternoon.
In other news, I've decided not to return to Auror Training. I've simply got to send in my formal letter of resigning the post and explaining my lack of desire to restart. When I get out of here, I'm starting anew.
Who is hiring who is not related to my boyfriend?

All of you just need to stop worrying about me. I’m suffocating. I have enough to deal with and all I want to do is have some level of normalcy. Bloody stop walking around me like I’m going to break. I’m fine.
Just stop.
STOP.
If you’re going to come around and whisper like I can’t hear you then just don’t come into my room at all. Don't talk to me if you're going to talk to me like I'm a child. I'm a big girl. I can handle things.
I am grateful for what was done. I am happy to be able to see you all again but I can’t deal with it always being like this. I don’t want you all always wondering if Angelina is okay and waiting for some big meltdown over all of this. I’m fine.

( Hexed very, very private! )
You all probably want me to talk about what happened in those weeks that I was missing and I apologize for not being ready to relive them. I wish there was some way that I could tell you all how much it means to me that you all care so much about me. I didn’t think that I was ever going to come back. I thought I was going to die there. Nearly dying makes the things you take for granted so much more important to you though. I want to focus on enjoying those things at the moment. I’m sort of stuck in bed at the moment, his Aunt made me chuck down a number of vials to help heal some of the cuts and things. I was apparently quite feverish when I first got here. She made Fred go grab me some food from the kitchens a few hours ago when I first started feeling well enough to sit up and talk at all. She said the funniest thing to me. She said, “Ms. Johnson, you make my nephew nearly tolerable. ” And then she said some other things that I can’t write here for fear of sending her said nephew and my dear boyfriend into a state. She’s a bit off but I can deal with being here if it means being able to talk to you all.
Now to get into the list of things that I’ve been reading or have been told that you all have been doing in my absence. I like to call this section of this entry the Angelina Catches Up And Tells Her Friends What Gits They Have Been. I’m doing this out of love. Someone needs to do it. And a lot of this is entirely overdue and maybe not even make sense anymore but I didn't get to bloody well say it when it was relevant a month ago so you have to deal with it now.
Katarina Pagie Bell. You first. You need to stop thinking we all hate you. We love you. You are an adult and you have every right to make the decisions that you deem appropriate for yourself. If you do not think that you and George should be together, then you have every right to make it. No one enjoys ending a relationship especially when you’ve been friends with said person forever. It’s a rubbish situation but you suck it up and you move on. Both of you need to suck it up actually. The constant back and forth. The I’m-Running-Away nonsense is silly. You’re punishing the rest of us too and that isn’t fair. And if you ever polyjuice yourself to look like Harry Potter again, I’m going to knock you upside the head.
George Fabian Weasley. That makes you next. You are practically my brother. I don’t want you to be mad at me because I’m not taking sides but what I said to Katie sticks for you in many ways too. You’ve been friends with Katie for as long as I can remember. If she says it’s over, then it’s over. Sometimes loving someone isn’t enough. It takes more than that. Maybe you two kids will get back together down the road but maybe you won’t and that’s okay too. You need to know that you are still a charming, wonderful bloke and there are other birds in the air. That makes more sense than fish in the sea at the moment. That might be the potions talking. Stop being a prat, okay!
And who do I fuss at next. Charlie Weasley. Thank you! I don’t even begin to know how to write how grateful I am to you for everything you did when I needed it the most. Your level head has everything to do with why I’m alive at the moment and so are the people that mean so much to me. I have a life debt to you. One day, I’ll repay it. Just try not to get yourself killed or kidnapped. I think we’ve had enough drama to last us a life time and I doubt I could do as well as you at keeping Fred at bay. Distractions, however, I am a queen of. Alicia Spinnet also fits into this paragraph. I’m grateful to you as well. Thanks for pilfering from you father and making me turn into a drooling, sleeping nothing these past few days. I needed it. Merlin I’m turning to mush and I haven’t even hit Fred yet. Heaven help us all when I get there. Oi and Oliver, what did you do? Got them drunk and played Quidditch, did you? Way to show your concern, prat! Remind me to smack you upside the head next time I see you. Just kidding. My sense of humour is still in tact.
Order members, Thank you for your role in all of this insanity. Er, Mrs. Weasley – I’d feel a million times better if I had some of your cooking. Fred isn’t the best cook and neither is Auntie Muriel. I suppose after a few weeks of barely eating anything, I cannot afford to be modest about such things. I shouldn’t be asking for more after you’ve all given so much though. I know that. I really want some of your food.
Harry – thank you for your part in all of this too, wherever you are at the moment. You keep safe and Hermione and Ron too.
We’re getting there closer to talking about Fred.
Actually I think we’re there.
Frederick Gideon Weasley, I love you. I whole-heartedly and completely love you and I’m unashamed to write that here and now in front of our friends and family. I’m sorry for not being a better Auror In Training or any other thing and allowing this to all even happen. All things considered you managed to keep a rather straight head and I’m proud of you. I’m so bloody proud of you that I don’t even have words for it. I don’t even know why I’m writing all of this since you’ve barely left me alone long enough to visit the loo or breathe since I was brought to Auntie Muriel’s. It might be because I want to have it in writing but perhaps it’s because you have managed to doze off and you’re rather adorable like that – so I can write this.
I don’t know if there will be a tomorrow. I don’t know how long growing up will take. We’ve both still got lots of that to do. I have no idea where when this is all over and I can get back to life where I’m going to be or what I’m going to be doing. I don’t know that I can show my face at the Ministry ever again and Tom probably won’t rehire me (not that I wanted to deliver pea soup for the rest of my life anyways).
There is only one certainty in my life. That’s my friends – especially you.
I’d look like a hag if I didn’t go and write all the things here that I’ve told others. No matter whether you still love me tomorrow or not, we’re always going to be in each others lives. When I decided that you were my best friend in our first year, I meant that forever. Let me make one thing unmistakably clear though. If you EVER do anything as stupid as nearly get yourself killed over me again, you’re going to have worse things to deal with than Death Eaters. You, my love, have a fiery, ambitious, dark-skinned Witch on your hands and she is completely and unafraid of hexing you. She’s good at hexes and she’ll do them if you deserve them.
At the moment all she really wants to do is write horribly embarrassing things. She being me. I’m back to talking in first person and I’m sure you’re head will appreciate that when you read this. I’ll probably have dozed back off again. The third best thing about being back is the fact, I get to sleep lots. I can stay in bed all day and no one is going to say a word about it. The first is being alive of course and the second being able to talk to you lot again. Sleeping might actually be fourth. The third is yet to be experienced but when I feel better, heaven help Auntie Muriel. That is sort of best left implied. I probably should have charmed that, shouldn’t I? Oh well.
And now I’m back to talking generally, I think. I can’t be to certain. I have created a list of things that I wanted to do should I make it through the whole ordeal and I’m posting it here for safe keeping. They all don’t have to be done tomorrow but these are all things that I would like to do before I die. Some I’ve already done but I’d like to do again once or twice. It’s a work in progress.
1. Go skinny-dipping at midnight in the South of France.
2. Spend a whole day eating junk food without feeling guilty.
3. Shower in a waterfall.
4. Experience weightlessness.
5. Sleep under the stars.
6. See an active volcano
7. Learn to ride a motorcycle
8. Get a tattoo that means something.
9. Have children, maybe just a pet, or even a plant and not kill it.
10. Learn how to cook. Maybe take cooking lessons.
11. Watch the sunrise and sunset in the same day.
12. Spend an entire day doing nothing but making love.
13. Get kicked out of a club for bad behavior.
14. Camp out at the next Quidditch World Cup.
15. Have a vow of silence for a week
16. Wear a blindfold and trust someone to guide me.
17. Have a massive pillow fight and make someone else clean up the mess that ensues without worry.
18. Be a pin-up girl even if it is in for grins and giggle pictures with friends.
19. To live to see an end of genocide in all it’s forms.
20. Adopt in a mentor capacity a troubled, orphaned or otherwise in need youth.
21. Get married. Why don’t I write terrify the daylights out of Freddie? Spend my life with someone that I love.
22. Have breakfast in bed.
23. Take a day off work just because I can.
24. Ballroom Dance in the rain.
25. Go whale watching.
26. Smash something on purpose.
27. Go ice-skating without falling over
28. Run barefoot in the snow
29. Make a snow angel and don’t leave a hand print.
30. Pretend to be from another country for a day and convince someone else of it
31. See glow worms in the wild
32. Witness a birth
33. Build a sandcastle.
34. Have a quickie on a Train Ride to no where.
35. Watch fireworks with someone special
36. Own something of value.
37. Have land and a house not just an apartment.
38. Read a cheesy romance novel aloud.
39. Have a picnic and then nap under a shade tree.
40. Drink an expensive bottle of wine.
41. Spend a night in front of the fire.
42. Stay up all night talking with someone.
43. Sleep in one of the Palace turned Hotels in India.
44. Take a Magic Carpet Ride.
45. Clean out my own School trunk.
46. Throw a dinner party for no real reason.
47. Spend the night in a Light House.
48. Swim at the Baths at Bath.
49. Be kissed under the mistletoe.
50. Stomp grapes in an Italian vineyard.
51. Be given away by my father.
52. Make peace with all my faults.
53. Make peace with my enemies.
54. Do more for others.
55. Do more traveling in general.
56. Repay debts financial and emotional.
57. Be more honest with people.
57. Eat all my favourite foods in one day.
58. Have a song written in my honour.
59. Sneak off for a quickie with a Groomsman at a wedding. I guess this one means, one of you lot have to go and get married and make Freddie a Groomsman.
60. One word: Elevators.
I think that’s all I got for now but I’m sure to be adding to it over the next few weeks. This should be a good starting point, if I do say so. Some of them are obviously off limits for a while but I imagine the one’s that can be participated in can be loads of fun. Even within the confines of Auntie Muriel’s there still has be to be something to keep me preoccupied. I’m certainly not about to take up knitting. I don’t think I’ll ever be that sort of girl.
--- Oh crap! I’ve been noticed as awake. The Angelina police (Read: Fred) is looking at me with that look that says I better put down this journal. I’m putting it down this minute.
Thanks again everyone!

Because I have the time and ability to be productive…
TO DO LIST
- Study for the next Auror Training test
- Spend time with Katie. Seriously, lunch soon?
- Start planning Fleur’s Baby Shower. Yes, I’ve decided that this should happen. If anyone wants to help me with this PLEASE let me know.
- Check on the status of my place. Last check in, they said it should be ready for me to move back in by next weekend.
- Contact Remus Lupin about tea soon to talk about the Order . Yes, tea?
- Keep an eye on the shop since the boys are supposed to be visiting Hogwarts. Amazing how out of the loop you can be when you’re in the same house as someone.
- Owl Lee and remind him that you think he’s such a ponce for that interview he did with Myron Wagtail on the wireless. He was way too excited about that.
- Owl Oliver and tell him the Puddlemere Seeker needs glasses.
- Check in on Charlie.
- Eating.

In light of all the negativity, I'm going to post something positive. Warning explosive amounts of Fred Weasley adoration beyond this point.
Reasons why I fancy Fred Weasley:
- Who can resist the Weasley charm?
- He looks so good in his clothes and out of them.
- He’s a genius. He just hides it sometimes.
- He knows the right things to say when he isn’t saying the wrong ones.
- I must really like the red hair.
- He cares about his family.
- He doesn’t complain when I want to spend time with his brother(s)and in fact promotes sharing.
- He pranked Slytherins in my honour when we were younger.
- He’s the best dancer I know.
- I can’t help myself.
- I like his mother’s cooking.
- He’s got an amazing little sister.
- He doesn’t complain because I’m a dreadful cook.
- He puts up with me when I’m in a bad mood.
- He didn’t just say to hell with me when I decided to be a wench to him and not talk to him for months.
- He buys me flowers even when he knows I’m not that into being girly.
- I know that I can trust him deep down.
- He has my heart.
- And more reasons than I can possibly list.

If you are in need of me I have taken up residence with some friends of mine and I’m hoping their mother doesn’t randomly pop up and wonder what I’m doing loitering there at all hours of the day and night . It wasn’t that the Leaky Cauldron was that bad. I simply had a better offer. Besides I was starting to feel like a shut in. It didn’t take me very long to feel like that though. Sometimes a little change can be a good thing though. I’m in the best mood I’ve been in, in a while. Perhaps it’s because I’ve managed more hours of sleep than I’ve had in a while.
I need to put in a few more hours of training this week. Merlin help me. The practical stuff shouldn’t be that hard but finding a quiet moment here might be especially when I’ve got so many distractions difficult.
Actually, Merlin help me in general. Help us all.
( George )
On a side note, I’m really hungry.
Let’s all play a game called tell Angelina what she wants to eat. And you must do it in 5 words or less. If you bring it to me, you get bonus points. I’m lazy and comfortable though at the moment.

Well, I'll be damned. Everyone was right. The flowers are actually blooming outside. I've made a point to not write in this thing for some time. I suppose time has been moving rather quicker around me than it felt it was in my mind. I haven't really had anything worth saying and sometimes it's better to say nothing at all than something you'll regret writing to begin with. Then again, sometimes it would be better to say something at all than to say nothing at all and go running into the night. .
Remember my amazing little place of residence. The neighbor's five year old turned on the water to their tub and let it overflow. The Sitter wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice until it had already leaked into my place. It’s safe to say I’m flooded under. Luckily, I caught it before it could do too much damage. I salvaged my things. I just hope the floors and walls don’t get a mold infestation.
I’ll be residing in a room at the Leaky Cauldron while they do the repairs. It appears Tom has a soft spot for me and was willing to let me take it at a discount. It’s not free but it’s better than having to beg a room off any of you or going begging to my parents. Three cheers for a job that’s perks actually help in a time of crisis.
Speaking of my job, it's time that I perform it.
I'm alive though and you can stop asking if I am now. Happy?
