his house

I've been at Buckingham this week to visit with Harry. I suppose I might be back later in the summer, when he's not doing CCF and I'm not doing YPL, either.

It was a very nice time. We did a lot of exploring, because with 775 rooms you never really run out of places to explore. A lot of the rooms we weren't allowed to go into, of course, but there were still lots of other places left to look. It was loads of fun, and I wasn't even worried about running into a ghost, because Harry said that there's really only supposed to be one at Buckingham, and he only shows himself at Christmas-time.

And there's no Chapel Royal at Buckingham, so no Bloody Mary.

Exploring got dull after a while so we usually went out to the Mall and Saint James Park. They made it so that it was only open to people with security clearance, so we were able to go flying. We went to Duck Island, too, because there's supposed to be wild puffskeins there but we never did find any. And then we were using accio to float up fishes out of the water, only long enough so we could see what colour and shape they were, but after a while we decided that might be cruel so we stopped.

I tried to make sure Harry was happy and waited on properly. He seemed to be, so I think it went well.

Twelve

Tomorrow we're to have a birthday luncheon here at Saint James Palace and family and friends of family are invited.
Which I think means that the only people close to my own age will be Harry, Draco, and maybe Pansy, but that's fine because I know them best.
And then after the birthday luncheon I'm to have tea at Buckingham Palace with the Lord Protector.
He wrote me an owl personally, and it didn't say very much but his handwriting was very nice.
It reminded
I really don't know why he would want to sit down to tea with me, maybe it's something he does with some children when they turn twelve?
But because of my appointment with the Lord Protector Mummy's taking me to the shops today for a whole new wardrobe and to have my hair done!
I haven't been to the shops since last year before school started, and that was just for regular school robes and cauldrons and things.
I hope that I can find some shoes with bows on them, I think they'd look ever so fetching, especially if I could find robes with the same kinds of bows.
And I hope we have time to go to Flourish and Blotts or another book shop, because Daddy gave me money to buy the last two Melinda March books.
They came out while we were at school but I didn't have the money for them back then, and we weren't getting packages for a long time anyway.
Melinda March is the heroine and everyone (including herself) thinks she is a half-blood with disgraced parents but really she's a pure-blood, and no one knows because the midwife was vengeful and she changed the records to alter the names of her birth parents.
In the last book, Melinda was being fostered by her actual BIRTH parents, and only the midwife knows the truth and her foster parents don't treat her very kindly, unfortunately.
I can't wait to see if Melinda figured out that she's a pure-blood witch, and what her family will say when they realise she's the daughter they always wanted, even though they've been treating her like she's a speck of dust for all the time she's been with them.
They are really very good books.

I've been back at home for a few days now.
My home in New London not Le'Strange Hill, since Mummy has had such an awful lot of work to do.
Rigel looks different from when I saw him last, and I don't think he remembers me at all, he keeps biting me.
Draco had a birthday party and it was utterly fun, even though his birthday was actually a few weeks ago, he wanted to wait until we were out of school to celebrate.
Father and Uncle Razzer are here and I think they've been celebrating all night, not because of Draco's birthday but because Sirius Black was captured.
Now that Sirius Black is caught, I wonder what will happen to him?
And I was wondering, if he says that he's sorry and that he didn't mean it, could he maybe be forgiven?
