    Well. This has been a perfectly delightful evening.

    Mother and Father went to the theatre tonight but I got left with my thoroughly annoying cousins. You'd think they'd never seen anyone who can't do magick before. It took me ages to convince them that no, I can't play games with them because there's no way I can win. Not that I'd want to play with six year olds anyway.

    I found a way to get rid of them, though - I told them losing your magick was contagious.

    Current Mood: annoyed

    Less than two weeks to go until school starts, and I still haven't found a way to get out of it. Mother is counting the days. I know she'd rather be at the Londinium townhouse - she's so far behind on her gossip - but for some reason she doesn't trust me alone.

    Can't imagine why.

    Current Mood: frustrated

    Oh, bother, I need to remind Mother about getting me a ration book and new uniforms. I don't know what's more embarrassing - going to a wizarding seamstress to have mundane school uniforms made, or going to a mundane one who's going to give me Looks as if I don't know there's rationing on.

    School is going to be absolutely horrid this year. I'm going to a new one - again - because the last one got taken over by the Navy and the one before that threw me out. I wonder how quickly I can get thrown out of this one? The sweets that Mother slipped into my stash would be perfect, but they're oh so careful about rationing that everything has to be turned over to the matron on arrival. Though it would be worth it just to have them think that Mother's a black marketer.

    She simply won't listen when I tell her I'm miserable. She just goes on about how lucky I am to find a school that's Acceptable so that I will have connections in Society and be able to find a nice mundane boy to marry. As if I want to marry boys or mundanes. Well, the girls aren't so bad, but they all think that girls are something you'll give up once you've left school.
