Lovegood

[alt_lavender]

I got an owl from Mummy at breakfast, and it's true. We're going to be fostering Lovegood. Mummy says it's our Wizarding Duty because Lovegood's mother was Daddy's third cousin once removed, and the Protectorate wants her to be with a relative.


I still don't see why she can't go off and live with the Weasleys; she's friends with them, they want to have her, and if she ended up living in a closet or something it would be her look-out.


But I suppose we have to do our Duty.

No, but it certainly has something to do with how well the Browns can provide for Lovegood - when Mrs Weasley's always writing about how hard they struggle to get decent food on the table. It's no wonder the Ministry worried about giving them another mouth to feed.

And it's certainly got something to do with how much influence and power Weasley has or doesn't have over the Ministry - or the Browns - to change anything if it's the way they want it.

That maybe so, but I have met Mr Weasley, and he is a decent man. His children may not have the things they want, but no one can say that their needs are not met.

Lets just drop this mess for Merlin's sake. Its no need to get worked up over things we can't control. And, please don't direct another comment at Ginny, for anyone reading this. I have her journal and she wont get it back until she has cooled off for a while.

That is an agreement she has made with me as her friend. I think being in this castle for so long as made us all a little mental. The smallest spark can start a fire.
