| 2:22 pm | It is I should have brought lunch with me though. [Private: DMLE employees of all shapes and sizes] Just to clear a few things up, though. I am in the office because I have work to do. No, I am not working on any new cases yet. Soon. Right now I am handling research and aiding the other prosecutors. And no, I would not like to talk about what happened. At all. I know you are all curious and at least you're being polite and simply hinting rather than coming right out and saying it, but I just don't want to bring it up. Possibly ever. It doesn't mean I don't like or trust you. By the way... I could really use a new secretary. |

| 11:44 am | Being out of the hospital is nice, but it turns out that being at home is almost as boring. At least we've got a telly here, though I feel my brain slowly rotting. Hey, Kirley! You want to come over one afternoon and we can watch soap operas together? I think Charles might want to go home with you too. He's not a fan of Athena, my owl. She accidentally knocks him over whenever she flies in. In other news, I think I should be ready to go back to work sometime next week, if I'm allowed. Even if it is only part-time. |

| 9:49 pm | I finally get to go home Wednesday. I was supposed to last wednesday, but my arm wasn't healing up quite right so they did an operation on Friday and now that I'm finally well from that, I need a second operation on it. So, surgery tomorrow, and then leaving on Wednesday. Two weeks in here is entirely too long. [Kingsley] You're not avoiding me, are you? I'm ready to talk when you have some time to spare. |

| 8:56 am | [Hexed: DMLE (warded by Mere)] Got an owl with my wand enclosed. For once, my brother made a good point while he was shouting at me not to use it and to give it to him. It's currently sitting as far across the room as can be managed. If someone from the DMLE would like to come and pick it up, that would probably be best. I also detained the owl by bribing it with treats, in case it's traceable. I'm sure it isn't, but it was worth a shot anyway. |

| 7:25 pm | Hey, Kirley, I forgot to tell you thanks for leaving Charles with me. He's proving to be great company. From what I hear, he might be glad to be away from ferrets for a bit. I also vaguely remember you playing guitar at my doorway until the orderlies came and made you stop. You'll have to play for me again Also, to all of the Weird Sisters and various other important affiliates (WS and company? WS and crew? The WS Club? Family works, too.). Thank you for camping out that night and keeping my brother company. I had no idea until one of the mediwitches told me today. I feel very special. I'm sorry I didn't know before now to thank you. Also, whoever the fuck you are who did this to me: taking my wand? Honestly. [crossed out because Mere made her] [Private to Self: Readable by Mere if he tries because he hexed it for her since she doesn't have a wand.] Hate this. Here it goes again, pretending I'm okay when everything is fucked. My heart pounds everytime I hear footsteps in the hall, which is often because it's a bloody hospital. I know there's a hitwizard or auror or someone posted at my door at all times but still. And when the healers or mediwitches get out their wand to do tests or treatments... I flinch. I know they're not going to hurt me. It doesn't matter. Am I always going to be terrified when someone draws a wand near me? Not to mention... never mind. [/End private] ATTENTION DMLE PEOPLE: What can I do to help? (Hurry and answer. I had to wait until Mere walked off to write this and he might make me cross it out if he sees it) |

| 6:53 pm | Mere, when are you coming back to London? It's been ages since I've gotten to spend any time with you and I don't approve. [Private: Xenophilius and Appolonia Lovegood] I'm sorry to bother the two of you when I'm aware you're trying to rebuild your lives, but the case regarding your attack, Mr. Lovegood, has fallen into my hands and I'm trying to get any information I can in order to find the person responsible. So far the investigators have come up with no persons of interest and that concerns me greatly. I know you've probably been asked a million questions already and I apologize, but if it's all right with the two of you I'd like to re-ask several of them to see if maybe I can find something from the answers the aurors overlooked. Mr. Lovegood, if you're still in the hospital I can easily visit you there at your convenience. I don't intend to be a bother but you deserve justice. |

| 10:02 pm | Brilliant. The case I've been forgoing sleep in favor of didn't go to hearing yesterday, and I'm not sure when it will. The husband of the woman I'm representing requested a continuance due to work conflicts that would be taking him out of the country, which of course will give him just enough time to transfer all of his assets to a foreign bank. He obviously had the judge in his pocket. I've made a request for the judge to step down due to bias but it won't happen. At least now I've got a few weeks, more or less, to strengthen my case against him. Not to mention my client could certainly use more coaching before she takes the stand. She's scared to death of him and I don't want it to keep her from talking, not when she finally has a chance to get what she's really deserved all along. Her freedom and compensation for what he put her through. I do believe I need a drink before I go home and crash for the remainder of the weekend. I spend too many Saturdays working, and apparently it has gotten to be after dinnertime without my knowledge. Anyone else hungry or just thirsty? |
| 1:57 am | Is it possible to die from caffeine overdose? I don’t think it is. I hope not. I just counted and I’ve had twelve espressos today. Double-shots. Of course, it has been eighteen hours since I woke up so it's not like I'm pounding back a caffeinated beverage every hour... just almost every hour. I can't sleep though. I have to get this case done for tomorrow. I was too busy at work today with a boring property forfeiture case but one of the women I'm helping out of a bad marriage situation has her first court date tomorrow and my opening argument is weak. Just won't work. |
