Go ahead and take your best shot, let 'er rip, give it all you've got. I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before, I may stumble, yeah I might fall. I'm only human, aren't we all? I might lose my way, but hear me when I say, I will stand back up! You'll know just the moment when I've had enough, sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough! But I'll stand back up.

I'm still not over the happy effects the wedding gave to all of us. It's like I have an extra bounce in my step and I'm smiling often while I'm hard at work in the various greenhouses we're keeping up. I know it's been said before but it was really touching to be able to include our lost loved ones in the lantern lighting. I put my parent's names in mine. It felt like they were there with me just because I was writing their names down. I miss them so much, but I'm glad to know that they are healthy and safe in St. Mungo's. At least they don't have to go through all of this we're going through, even though they would be a tremendous help because they were so great in the first war.
Speaking of the greenhouses, it's so exciting to see everything coming along so nicely! It's been far over a year for many of these plants and they're doing so well it just makes my heart swell to see them and know they're happy and healthy! I feel like a proud father and I know most of you think that's weird, but I just had to write it down. Just ignore me and my spurts of plant blabberings.

I can't believe they got Dean now too. Remus is right though, we can't let them get anymore of us. Especially if they're trying to nab us now instead of just taking us out. Something must have changed, like they have a new plan or something. I guess we're trying to have our people on the inside find out what they can about it, but maybe it's a Death Eater thing only? I mean.. the real reasons. Since You-Know-Who is running the place, it's got to be coming from him, right? What reasons would he have for grabbing people like this?

Things in the Dean camp are looking really great in regards to the foliage there. Something about that area is much better than the others. Everything just exploded with green in the spring and now with summer here I'm so excited to see the outcome. I think we'll finally get a good harvest from the dittany; their roots were looking plump and the stalks are thick and hardy. That usually means it'll yield a healthy amount of juices from it's leaves. Everything there looks great and I'm able to go back to the main camp now. I'm looking forward to seeing how things have gone since I last saw them. I mean the plants. After all some prefer the colder climate. Oh, and I'm looking forward to see everyone of course!

[Hexed against Death Eaters]
Finally! I finally did something right before some of the other trainees! It felt so good but I paused for too long and someone stunned me. I'm still getting the hang of this, obviously, but I can already see that I'm getting better at the things I already knew and I'm starting to really get the hang of the new things. There may be hope for me here after all. If they ever have to resort to sending us out for anything, at least I'll be able to do something well enough.
I'll be taking Vitoria for a walk tonight, it will be a nice treat for her. Usually I get one in for her before I go to work, so two in one day will be more like old times.
How is everyone doing? I feel like I haven't seen anyone in way too long. Since Valentine's Day, actually.
[Hexed to Dumbledore's Army]
Sorry I haven't been to the recent meetings, I feel like I've really been slacking about this and I promise not to do it again. I was usually extremely exhausted but that's really not an excuse to miss something so important. I'll pop a potion if it helps me stay alert long enough to participate. I keep hoping that things in Auror training will get easier, but so far it hasn't in the slightest.

I've started Auror training this week... this stuff is so intense that when I get done for the day I go home and crash on the couch before I can even get up and make dinner, take a shower, and go to bed only to do it all again the next day. Merlin this is hard!
I now have a whole new appreciation to everyone who has ever gone through this.
[/hex]
[Hexed to Order/DA]
Sorry I haven't been around much, I mean to go to any meetings but I've been working so hard recently that it's hard to remember what day it is. I hope I haven't missed anything important... So sorry if I have, I'll make it up to everyone, I swear!
[/hex]
[Hexed to Luna]
Hey, I was thinking that maybe you'd want to eat dinner with me when you get back home? So sorry for being so busy lately. I really didn't expect that.

Sorry about dinner tonight, I just don't think we'll all be able to sit around a table and enjoy everything with what's happened. I really hope Harry is going to be alright... To just attack a hospital like that, it's just.. and You-Know-Who himself? I'm so glad my parents are alright, but all those other people. I just don't know if I should try to do a dinner at this time, unless of course everyone wants to.
[/hex]
[Hexed to close friends]
Luna should stay with one of us, somewhere safe, very safe. She shouldn't be alone right now, not after that. I offer up my bed at Sturgis' place. It's very secure there.

[Hexed against Death Eaters and their supporters]
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. I'm just planning on enjoying my holidays knowing that everyone is well and safe as they can be. Gran will want me to come to the family dinner on Christmas Eve, so that's probably what I'll be doing, wouldn't want to upset her.
[Hexed private to friends]
I meant to write this last night but something came up and by the time I got home I was too exhausted to do anything other than fall into bed. I know I mentioned that I wanted to do a dinner with friends tonight, and I did a really shoddy job telling everyone so it's probably better that I'm going to reschedule, but I'd really like Sturgis and Harry to be able to eat and be with us and they weren't able to get the night off. So we'll try again at another date. Does the 23rd sound good for everyone? Or should I go ahead and plan for the week after Christmas? What about the Sunday after Christmas?
[Hexed to Order]
That was amazing, the forcing them to retreat part. Is there anything more I can do right now? Is everyone okay? I know that the Weasleys are having a dinner tonight for Charlie's birthday but I could even help with that if help is needed. I'd just rather not be at home alone right now, not after last night.
I hoped that helped the goblins.
[Private to Self]
That felt so good. I might not have fared better than others but that's fine by me. I made it through and was able to help Harry. It feels so good to know that I was a part of that and that we stopped them. I hope I can help like that more often, not that I want there to be more battles but I think that it will be the only way we do all that we can. If we can protect people and stop the Death Eaters from doing what they are told to do then it will be great. I think I'll go to Mungo's and tell my parents about it.

So I've filled out an application for Auror consideration. I think that was the easy part. It really does make me nervous about turning it in. I wish I could just owl it in and not have to face anyone, but I suppose it's better to do it in person. I just want to do more and I have this small hope that I have a part of my parents in me somewhere.
I won't have much time for my plants but I'm hopeful that, at this point, I can keep up enough to continue the current shipment schedule. I won't be able to expand any more or have time for starting new plants in my inventory, but at least it's something. I'm just ready to give up my own wants in order to do some good.
[/hex]
I sincerely hope the Minister recovers quickly and fully. Mungo's is a great place and I believe he's in good hands.
I'm looking forward to Christmas. I wonder if anyone is planning anything. If not I want to do something with friends. Ginny and Luna have been teaching me to cook and I've gotten a few recipes down I think. At least I don't burn things anymore. Thanks to Ginny and Luna for helping me!

I'm not sure what I expected, but that fight on Halloween was a nice reality check. Not that I'm off in the clouds but it was almost refreshing to see some Death Eaters and be able to protect people against them. I guess it makes the enemy more real, though they were very real before. I'm probably not making much sense. It's like I have this burning urge to do all I can to get in their way and stop them from hurting anyone else.
[/hex]
For the first time I have been able to put aside some money after buying what I needed for my plants as well as getting three new specimens that I haven't been able to afford before. I also bought groceries and stuffed the kitchen with good food. I think it will be good to have some money saved for emergencies or if I need to help anyone out.
If anyone wants to come over and help me cook, that would be great. I'm not the best at it but I bought so many things that I think it would be a great time to learn.

Mr. Snape is now one of my steady customers. I deliver to him twice a week and he requested information about some of the rare plants I own. I think I actually impressed him with the quality of my plants and the variety. I mean, I have plants that he didn't know what to do with yet, that's got to mean something, right? I'm just so glad it's been going so well so far.
[Hexed to Order]
I'm very proud to consider myself a member of the Order of the Phoenix. I really hope I can carry my weight. I'm no Auror like my parents were, but I promise to work hard and do my best at anything I have to do.

Dumbledore's Army was put together in order to teach ourselves how to defend ourselves from the Death Eaters and their master. The time to defend ourselves is here again and I think we're all in need of a refresher plus more.
We need to know who is interested in rejoining DA. So please comment here with your name and we'll let you know when we set up our first meeting.
Also, please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

I think I'm going to be sick. I'm shaking already. Literally shaking. I can't do this. Why did I open my mouth? I'd be fine without talking. No talking, writing, would have been good. Very good. I honestly can't do this. I really don't think I can. I should cancel. No wait, I don't know what I'm talking about. I can't even think.
Professor Snape is coming by tomorrow to inspect my plants. Oh shit He's going hate it. WHy would he come anyway? Because he hates me. He wants to tell me how much I suck. Not only I can't do potions but he'll tell me I can't do this either! What if he's right? I can't do this. He's been around so long that he knows what the best looks like. He'll know that I'm an amateur. I can't do this.
Anyone know a circus I can join?

I wanted to say thank you for everyone's birthday wishes and gifts. Saturday was amazing and my voice still hasn't fully returned to normal. I feel like I'm going through puberty again...
Just have to say that was the best birthday to date. Everyone has been so kind and I really do appreciate it.

So I couldn't sleep all night and when I did finally fall asleep this morning, I woke up from Sturgis' dog barking at something. Instead of getting up like a normal human being would and going to see what she was barking at, I shot out of bed before my eyes even opened, ran to the batheroom, turned around and ran back to the bedroom, then back to the bathroom again before I stopped and realized that I wasn't being sane.
I blame lack of sleep.
So now that I'm up, going to take Victoria for a walk. Anyone else for a sleep walk?
