08:00 pm Funny thing. Went to St Mungos today to pick up a few of Al's and my's belongings, and I ended up walking past this familiar bed... And it came back just like that. It was Dad's bed. He lay there an empty man for years, and never got to meet Al, or see us married, or come around after Nev was born. And then I realised he wasn't in that bed anymore. I asked Nev (he was with me) where they'd put his Granddad. He gave me that serious look of his and told me Dad died when he was nine. Just slipped away while Mum and Nev were reading to him. All those years we never knew what exactly had happened to him. Spell damage, they said, and that was all we knew in the day. But now I know. She did to him what she did to us. She's lucky my son got her first. I would have seen her dead. Her and the one she calls Master. There's still him to take care of. I want those fifteen years back. I want to be an Auror again. I want my Father. God, I sound like an infant. I'm only twenty-something in my head. I'm guess I should be glad I now have the chance to grow up. Some of us never did. Current Mood: sad

02:37 pm - Helo world I dont know alot of you but everyone seems to know me and Al so I thought introductons might be in order. My name is Frank Longbottom and I just turned 38 but last I recall I was 22 and living not far from Pendle Hill, Lancashire, near Lancastrer Castle. My wife and I were Aurors for the ministrey and lvied in London until our son Neville was born and after that we moved to Lancashire because my Mum told us it would be safer. I always thouht that by the time I was 38 the war would be over. So while I am very glad to be back and so is Al it is hard to feel the pain of the past and future all at the same time, as it is also painfull to realise that our present--al's and mine--were taken from us. In my memrory I lost two of my best friends only a lttle more than two months ago, but I am reasured that Harry is alive and well. And in mine memory another best freind is a traitor but now I know that he's not. I am so glad it wasnt sirius that i might snog him agian when i see him (DOWN REMUS I wont really this time), but its so hard to understand what happenened to petey. and if you are wonderingg why i am telling you,some of you strangers, all of this it is because I am ahaving some trouble writing and speaking and remebering some things but the mediwizards say to pracitise and the practise will help, so that's why i am rambling on in this book. a few people have askes me what the last 15 years were like and all i can Say is that i dont remember much. I do remeber the last time I saw my son we had just put him down for bed wht the yellow blanket because he wouldnt sleep without his yelow blanket. And now he is almost grown and he makes me so proud and if I were realy 38 instead of 22 maybe I coulddo a better job at telling him why. And alaso tell him i am so sorry we werent there until now but we will be there always from now on. Current Mood: relieved
