Walden Macnair brings punch to the party.

Silence is a scary, scary thing.

[Ben.]
Congratulations on your stabbing. I am very proud.

Did you enjoy your gift? I apologise for the cardboard, I forgot my bill fold at home and had to improvise. I can't purchase a nice box with my good looks alone, now can I?
[/End.]

[Fabian.]

Yaxley, eh? Bit of an odd choice.

[Private.]
See, this is why conversing with the enemy gets one in trouble. I have more in common with Fabian Prewett than I do with some of the people I'm fighting alongside with. I find myself volleying between my understanding with Prewett and my duty to the Dark Lord. Rabastan can be a bit unworldly and he's not exactly the first person I would want in my corner at the end of it all, but he's a comrade. I don't like being responsible. It does not work in favour of my careless reputation.

Damn.

[Fabian.]
Thank you for ruining my relaxing evening.

Walden Macnair has taken a wife. Unfortunately she belonged to another man and I had to give her back. The search continues.

[Evangeline + Ben.]

Sister, I have decided that your name is too long and I am too lazy to call you by it. I could call you Eva but that is overused and boring. I think that I shall call you something else entirely that is specifically mine.

Evan, Geli, Angel or Vang. Take your pick. Ben, you get a say also.

My mother came to my house for tea today. It was strange, as I do not make a habit of hosting tea. She insisted and of course I acquiesced. She spotted the wedding invitation because this woman has the eyes of a hawk and then I was forced to talk about how excited weddings make her. This led to interrogations about my own wedding, leading to the ever familiar conversation about heirs and duty.

Honestly. I am 33 years old and am not ready to be a married man. How can I be someone's husband? I have two things in life that I focus on. My social life and Him. That is all I have time for. I am not going to be some woman's husband. I do not think I have the mental stability to marry a woman of society.
[/End.]

Does anyone want a mother? It has been a trying day.

[evangeline & ben.]
One of the women I work with is pregnant and I overheard her tell one of the other women in the office that women gain something like forty pounds over the course of the pregnancy. She compared it to four bowling balls, which is a lot I'm led to believe.

[Fabian.]
I feel I should thank you for the dressing. I am a little sad at the fact that I have gone 33 years without tasting something this good.

[Private.]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Evangeline.]
Ben tells me you're not feeling well and our mother is nagging. Is everything alright?

[Private.]

Sirius Black is seeing the error of his ways. I find this hard to believe, considering everything he's said and done in the past. Granted, if I was on the wrong side of the war and was under Bella's wand I might have played turncoat as well. I trust her judgment over most but I can't help but feel like keeping him so close might backfire. They say keep your enemies closest but I can't even see myself wanting to share a house with a member of a terrorist group. She must have her reasons and I shall keep my mouth shut, because that's what I'm supposed to do.

Bad night at the tables. Lost almost 500 galleons, which is a lot of money. Thanks for that, dad. I promise I'll pay you back.

Some people are idiots. My head hurts. I need a drink.
