[Charmed against Dark Aligned People]
I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be or that something's wrong with me because I am angry. I am not a happy camper and while I’m hardly confrontational I feel a need to express my general disillusionment here. Heaven knows I’ve held my tongue long enough! I am angry that people write in their journals about meaningless happy times when people are being killed because of who their parents are or who they align themselves with. I’ve come to the conclusion that some people have lost sight of what is going on in the world around them. They are so clouded by drugs and booze that they wouldn’t know that the sky is blue if you told them. We’re allowing ourselves to accept this half-life or a world of injustice. I will never accept this world. I don’t see how so many of you have let this occur. I will never be happy hiding. I will not be content until I can be out in the world again and walk hand in hand with Percy. I will not give up until I can see my family again. The world for me is larger than this box of a room. I haven’t spoken to my parents over half a year because I had to send them to safety. I hardly see my husband because he’s sacrificing for you all. Do you think he’s happy being a Ministry stooge? Do you think he gets a rise out of being away from his family and loved ones? Do you think he loves laughing at the mindless Muggleborn jokes over coffee when his own wife is one? My husband is doing something and if I could do the same I’d be out there doing something worth while as well. We are in a war. We’ve allowed it to stagnate and I can’t take much more of it. I cannot spend another month of my life stagnate and waiting for change. We’ve been gathering intelligence for months and what have we done other than twiddle our thumbs? Oh that’s right! We’ve read about the drunken escapades of the Weird Sisters; We’ve allowed Umbridge to infest Hogwarts with her bigotry and cut off children from their families. Excuse my language but what the hell are we doing? I mean really. What are we doing? I’m sick of cooking and reading books. I’m so tired of it all. I’m burnt out and I just … I need out. Even the Outdoor room can’t help me now.

| 003 - Feel like I'm Back In Hogwarts |

Sometimes I don’t think I’d come out of my own personal corner of the Outside Room. I feel at peace there and sometimes it’s like I’m not even stuck in this house. I feel like I’m back at Hogwarts sometimes drowning in the petty arguments of the people around me. I suppose me and Percy were always quieter with our drama back in the day. We were relatively drama free though. I mean, I suppose we might have had a quarrel or two but every couple has one every once in a while. These things I hear overhear on a daily basis are over silly things though. I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re all losing our minds from having to share close quarters for so long.
This week is going to be particularly insane. We have Remus’ birthday today and then his and Tonk’s Wedding later in the week. I’m hopeful that everything runs smoothly. I really do. With the addition of Draco Malfoy to our residents, you can’t help but wonder what is going to happen next. Have we turned into the land of rejected Death Eater children on top of Muggleborn and Order hideaway? I don’t particularly know him but I can say I don’t trust him based on what I know. I hope he doesn’t go and rat out Percy when he figures it all out. At this point I’m keeping a safe distance.
I now need to go work on something for Remus birthday.

The question of the day is chocolate or vanilla? Maybe red velvet though. Someone inspire me.

I think I'm in the best mood that I've been in in a long time.
I might not be able to leave here but I think I might know how to be useful for a change and that in itself is good news.

| 001 - Captivity and Orange Desserts |

The captive raised her hand and pressed it to her brow:
"I have been struck," she said, "and I am suffering now;
Yet these are little worth, your bolts and irons strong;
And were they forged in steel they could not hold me long."

I found a new recipe for Boodle's Orange Fool. I’ve discovered that the library here is a treasure-trove of interesting things. I found this between the pages of a medical text. I was looking into basic healing charms for future reference not that it’s important that I tell you all that. The main thing is that I’m going to give this cake an attempt. Well – I will if I can find the ingredients here. Does anyone know if we still have any of the Christmas fruit? I think I can scrounge it all up and make it happen.
If anyone is interested in testing the finished product, let me know. I’ll need lab rats for my ability to produce a good version even with the recipe. I don’t think it’ll ever own up to my mum’s. I wish I’d gotten her recipe before I put her and dad into hiding.
I’ll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me for anything. I suppose there are a number of things that I could be using my time for that would be better suited than cooking sweets. If there isn’t anything else that I’m aware of to be done, then producing morale boosting rubbish is what I do.
