[ WARDED TO SELF. ]I feel like there's no time to grieve. Dad is so heartbroken -- we all are -- but he's really taking losing mum hard. I don't know how to make it easier for him and Sebastian other than being strong myself. I wish dad were a wizard, if only so I wouldn't worry so much about his safety. How would he protect himself if any of the Death Eaters returned to attack him? Sebastian may not be very involved with the magical society, but at least he has a wand, at least he can use magic -- maybe it might be for the best if I moved back home for a while. I could keep an eye on dad, and then I'd be there in case anything happened; I could protect him. I don't know what else to do. It was all so much easier to be the supportive shoulder, but now that it's someone from my own family -- not that, of course, I want things like this to happen to anyone -- it was just so much easier to be strong for other people than for myself. It just goes to show that the Death Eaters still have a strong hold on everything, even if Voldemort has been killed and the Ministry has been taken back. They can still effect us and hurt us this much -- I wasn't a fool to think that all our problems would disappear immediately, but I did not expect to have to continue attending so many funerals.
There is no time to take off from work, either; not with so few of us left, and with the Death Eaters continuing to harass children and send death threats. The trainees aren't making things any easier, either; I understand they are still young, but the attitude and disrespect shown to authority is extremely disappointing. I expected more from them -- but it doesn't change the fact that we need more field Aurors. Maybe I should arrange a meeting with Gawain and Alastor to discuss starting field work training early so they can begin to join us outside the Ministry when the Death Eaters pop up again -- but there's still that matter of not listening to us and questioning us when we give orders. If they can't do that, then I don't know if this will work or how good of an idea it will be.

[ WARDED TO DEDALUS DIGGLE. ]I am about to take a coffee break before I take the rest of the day off and I was wondering if you'd like to join me.

[ WARDED TO KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT. ]Saw your note on the 'interesting' story about werewolves from Mulciber; I thought it'd be easier to keep track of notes in a fresh entry. I don't like that he's signed up for this wizard auction, either. I noticed he also attempted to sign up his 'best mate' Adrian Pucey for the auction, too -- it could be completely innocent, but I agree that it's something we should be keeping an eye on. We should have some of the DMLE at the auction, just in case. I'd rather worry too much than regret it later; better safe than sorry, as they say.
Mulciber is the one who has been looking for Anthony, isn't he?

[ WARDED TO SELF. ]Why are my own Auror trainees participating in sit-ins inside the Ministry of Magic? There is absolutely no reason that our DMLE should be forced to kick out our trainees as opposed to being aided by them. And Anthony -- that boy is going to get himself killed if he continues to engage Orson Mulciber over these journals. I want to trust that they will do the right thing, that they will realise some of the things they are doing are only hindering our attempts to catch the Death Eaters still on the loose; how can we concentrate on finding them if we have to deal with protests? There aren't enough Aurors that we can only rely on them to hunt them down. We need the whole DMLE for this. God, I knew that all our problems were not going to be resolved by the end of the war, but this -- they're still children. The remaining Death Eaters are making bolder moves every day. We don't have time to wait through three years of training for them to grow up.

[ WARDED TO ANTHONY GOLDSTEIN. ]Anthony, I realise that you want to find out who it is you killed at the battle in May, but I would advise against questioning people about their Death Eater relatives. I know that you said you are not doing this to seek any revenge, and I believe you, but unfortunately you can't predict what the people you are questioning will be like. It's possible they had nothing to do with the Death Eaters and have no desire to change that, or they could feel bitter that someone killed their father -- and at the very worst they could have been raised as Death Eaters themselves. You may not be interested in revenge, but they could be. If your questions lead them to believe it was you who killed their friend or a member of their family then you may have someone out to seek revenge on you.
