I hope that the Wizengamot know what they're doing in regards to the Unforgivables. While I certainly support any and all measures to bring the Death Eaters - all vigilantes for that matter - to justice, my concerns lie more with the well-being of the Aurors themselves. These spells were classified as Unforgivable for a reason and I hope that any Auror that is forced to use them in the heat of battle is able to forgive themselves afterwards.
I woke up this morning and reached out for Cora again. Strange that even after ten years, I still do that. How did Dad manage to move on the way he did? I envy him that. Maybe I should speak to him about it but I’m reluctant to dredge up those days for him. Maybe he wouldn’t mind. I know he worries about me even if he doesn’t say anything outright. I suspect the children have been talking to him.
Oberon even suggested that perhaps I ought to start dating again; that he and Dulci and Del wouldn’t mind if I did. That seems such a ludicrous thought but I know that I’m barely middle-aged for a wizard. Dad wasn’t that much younger than I am now when he married Rebecca. But how do I explain to them that I still feel as though their mother is just about to walk in the door?
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m hanging on too much to what is lost and cannot return. I know Dad still remembers and loves Mum. I know that moving on does not mean forgetting Cora.
I just miss her. I wasn't ready to lose her. We still had so much to look forward to.
