No. The Strettons wanted to stay home. They had some idea about a private family celebration but then they got into a row with Jeremy and I wound up going to bed early.
Did it make it any better having Luna there? She said she was going to the Burrow for dinner. And she's the sort of person who almost doesn't notice if everyone else feels awkward and quiet. Or, well, she notices but carries on being mad and cheerful anyway.
I still almost can't quite believe your dad is gone.
I mean, no. Of course, she invited her because Luna's stuck with the Browns and they don't care about her, and Mum wanted her to have a nice time on her birthday and people to be with, but-
Yeah, I think Mum knew it would help us out, too, having Luna here. It's just, when we're all here alone, it feels like maybe we should talk about it, but no one really has anything to say, that's not just sad, anyway. And you're right about Luna. She's just always herself, whatever,
Are you coming to the meeting for the revue? Only, maybe we could do something after. Like stop into Flourish and Blotts and see if they've got anything that would help with Dolohov's course. He keeps talking about better translations than the one I was able to get, and I thought, maybe they'd have got some in stock.
I wasn't, but I could meet you after. Or I suppose I could just come -- I told Daphne I'd help with costumes and so on, I don't think she'd object if I were there. Pansy's going.
I loved the earwarmer you sent. Did you really knit it yourself? If so, I'll have to get that pattern from you. The the protective runes were very cunning. They'll be just the thing to keep wrackspurts away. Thank you!
I'm going to be having dinner at the Burrow, which makes me very happy. The Browns don't seem to have really noticed it's my birthday at all.

Date: 2013-01-01 06:52 pm (UTC)I mean, I can't really get my mind around it that this is a year my dad won't be here for.
Things had started feeling more normal, y'know, but today everyone's all quiet again and sort of avoiding everyone else.
