Current mood:

pleased

I must say, it is so very strange to have Dogear Wryde all to myself once again. The boys traveled back to Hogwarts some time ago. I do hope that Harry remembered to take along the package for Draco that I asked him to deliver for me. Why, what is the use of using owl post when he was going to the very place that my darling son is?

It's so quiet here that I could almost weep from the tranquility of the silence. When I arrived a few days ago to this empty house I was too distraught to really take in just how lovely and still everything is. Once Remus, Sirius, and Harry arrived the estate just bustled with activity. Now that they are gone the only noises I hear are those occassional small ones made by the house elves.

I took a portkey to Paris this morning to do some more shopping for both my business associate as well as to purchase a few last minute items for the cocktail party this coming Saturday. Upon transporting back and placing all of my items where I deemed them proper, Dacey and Weetzy (is that the little darling's name? Her voice is so high pitched that it was hard for me to discern it.) bade me to follow them to the kitchen where they proceeded to give me a few simple lessons in preparing foods. For today we started out slow, perfecting making cold salads and watercress sandwiches. I was pleasantly surprised to find that mastering the culinary world will not be as daunting a task as I once thought it was.

In celebration of my success in the kitchen, I have taken to drinking a victory martini.

Life, for the moment, is good.
