[Private] ( Added hastily later. Private to Oliver Wilkes. ) The view from my window is beginning to become unbearable. Maybe I should just change the drapery. |

Where has this year gone? It's more than half over already and a lot of the time I feel like I haven't gotten done nearly as much as I usually do. Which, I'm sure, it a complete misconception on my part. In any case, I realized today that the view from my office window has become dreadfully boring. I tried rearranging the room a few times I've decided the best solution is for me to go on holiday for a week. [Wilkeses] I'll be taking a trip to Italy this week. I plan to depart on Thursday morning. I thought it might be a good idea to let you both know [/Wilkses] |

I had a lapse in judgment today and stopped in at Bookworm & Silverfish over my lunch. I really ought to make more of a point to avoid going anywhere near that place. There has never been a single time that I've managed to keep myself from spending a ridiculous sum of money, and everyone knows I already have too many books as it is. Although I tend to regard anyone who believes there even is such a thing with suspicion. However, all was not lost - not only do I now have a neat little pile of volumes on my desk just waiting to be placed, but I also have some very promising plans for Friday evening with one of the girls who was working behind the desk. Sometimes, lapses in judgment are, in fact, very good things. |

( Private ) I've been very distracted lately, and not feeling myself at all. Usually actually getting something finished helps with that, but I don't see anything like that happening until at least next week. On a happier note? It sounds petty, but on the way to the office this morning I decided to take a different route on foot and stumbled across this little hole-in-the-wall sort of place that has the best coffee I've tasted in years. Which isn't saying much when one compares it to the stuff they usually have lying around at the firm, come to think of it. They gave me a free Chelsea bun, though. And it was spectacular. I don't know how I feel about the fact that I am very seriously considering going back there over lunch. Someone convince me this is a terrible idea. |

( Private ) I purchased a new desk for the office today. It should be arriving tomorrow afternoon. I've never been in love with a piece of furniture before, but I think this may come close. |

I think, for the first time in a month, everything is going normally again at the office. No one out with undue injuries, paperwork where it ought to be, actually getting things properly finished. I almost forgot how pleasant it is to come in to work and know that everything is in order. In fact, it makes me never want to leave. I really should just move in to the office, use the flat for recreational purposes now and again. Does that seem off? Matty, thanks for bringing in lunch the other day, though I'm sorry to have missed you. If I'd known you were planning to stop by I would have made a point of being in. ( Private ) ( Victoria )

[written sloppily, more so at some parts than others, but generally readable] shouldn't write like this. |

Look at that. I put this thing in a pile of books near the fireplace and it disappears fora few weeks. This has been one occasion on which my penchant for leaving stacks of books everywhere has gotten the better of me. Bagnold's funeral was a fitting tribute. It spoke volumes to see how many people turned out for it. ( Evan ) ( Victoria ) ( Private )

[Private to Victoria Dolohov] If I recall correctly, you have quite a talent with healing, and an appreciation for discretion. Would you be willing to do me a favor today? [Private to Evan Rosier] As I'm sure you've noted I'm not in today, and I don't expect to be until at least the latter part of this week. I realize this will probably mean extra work for you, so I apologize in advance. Feel free to forward most of it to my home address, though. And watch out if you're travelling alone. I somehow doubt these attacks are limited to those with connections to publishing pursuits. |

[Private to Matty and Oliver] Can either or both of you come by my place today? Bring any sort of medicinal potions you have, preferably those that relieve pain and get rid of bruising. [Private] Somehow the fact that an attempt was made on the Minister's life doesn't quite seem to matter as much to me as the fact that an attempt was made on mine last night. Luckily, I had the good sense to kill him I hid the body, though not very well. Someone's sure to come across it. I was a bit too focused on trying to get out of there. You know, I don't even care. It's more than likely another on of those Mudblood radicals that have been pulling all of these stunts. Hardly a loss. |

Such a lovely day. It's a shame to spend too much of it indoors. Still, paperwork calls. [Private to Oliver] Matty seemed a bit concerned about our taking care of the Problem. All we have is that this was a woman, and apparently, a smoker. I think we need to dig a bit deeper. Not quite sure how, though. You Aurors probably know more about this sort of thing. What do you think? [Private to Matty] How are you doing? Being home is probably much better for you, I'd think. [Private to Victoria] What are you doing Thursday night? |

I have never been so utterly sickened in my life. Whoever did this to Matty, I am going to find you out, and you are going to regret what you've done. [Private] This happened yesterday morning. And what was I busy doing? Sitting at my desk all day and ignoring non-work-related owls. And spending the night dallying with her friend. Fucking irresponsible. I managed to make it through an entire day and have no idea that some filth had been brutalizing my sister. When I find out who did this, they are going to suffer, for a very long time. You don't cross a Wilkes and get away with it. I need a distraction. I keep seeing her face, what that animal did to her... [/Private] |

I know that many people seem to think that as one gets older one is either:
Come on now, don't disappoint me. [Private] Took Dolohov's girl out last week for dinner and drinks. She is actually quite delightful - wonderful dancer. Possibly the most capable partner I've had in recent memory. I considered seeing if she would accompany me home, but I balked at the thought of trying to get one of Matty's best friends into bed with me. I need to not think of it that way. That said, I may see if she wants to come dancing again. She's not the sort I'd want to date regularly, but the night was very enjoyable. I think it is entirely possible a second could be more so. |

I have just had that experience when you look at the clock and realize nearly four hours have flown by, it is nearly two o'clock in the morning, and you probably should have left your office not long after dinner time. And even that is being generous. Still, I feel like I need to make up for time lost Monday morning. Is that so wrong? Admittedly, I did manage to get in not long after eleven, but by my standards that's akin to just not showing up, so...at the very least, I can say I've finally sorted all that needs sorting about the Calquhouns, and don't want to hear the name again until it is absolutely necessary. Which seems likely to be sometime tomorrow afternoon. Merrigan case likewise seems to be as it should, so my gratitude where it's due. As all seems to be in order right now, I think it's high time for some tea and then a nap. There isn't much point at all in returning home now, as I would just be coming back in at eight. And this, my friends, is why there is a divan in the corner of my office. [Private] It was terribly sad to see Ellie return to the US this week. Admittedly, I couldn't see what we had lasting much longer anyway, but she was quite fun. Had very good taste and was amenable to my work habits. And that accent. I think more girls from Louisiana need to find their way to my offices. |

It's very sad to see the weekend come to a close. Although with this weather perhaps it's for the better - it gets to be depressing when the rain limits your plans. I won't feel like I'm missing much in the office tomorrow if this continues. Speaking of which, tomorrow is likely to be a late night. I've been making some headway into the paperwork for the Calquhoun case, but someone misfiled something early on, and even I can only get through so much in a single workday. Drinks tonight? [Private to Evan Rosier] Rosier - I may be getting in a bit late tomorrow morning. Feel free to stop by the office and get a head start. I've left the most pressing items on the desk near the right hand window. There ought to be a note on top to mark them as urgent, although it's possible that it may have blown off. [Private to Matty Wilkes] How's life, |
