corbina lestrange is having a very bad day

"I, Rodolphus Adric Lestrange, do hereby bequeath everything I own to Corbina Avara Lestrange for her to distribute as she sees fit.

Signed and dated, February 24, 1969."

I was NINE. I was barely nine; who DOES THAT? He had a son. He had other family, and friends, and I was nine. Our mother is going to kill me. No, she'll wait for me to distribute things and then she is going to kill me. I cannot do this.

[DEs and Supporters]

I want to thank everyone for being there for our family in our hour of need. It might take me a few days, but I promise that I will have everything distributed in the way that I feel as though Rodolphus would have done so had he been more diligent with record upkeep.

Let us all hope for Mr. Scrimgeour's sake that those posters are not prophetic.

I think I may end up doing something stupid today.

[Warded to the First Generation]

Bellatrix is going to get both Rodolphus AND Marius now killed. I know it's not my place to stop her but it is yours, and I don't know what to do.

[Rodolphus]

Are you feeling ill? You missed an appointment with Severus to discuss the library. And while one part of that seems plausible, the latter does not.

[Death Eaters and Supporters]

Pardon what might be seen as paranoia, but has anyone seen Rodolphus today? He missed breakfast and is a growing boy who needs his fiber.

But all humour aside, does anyone have any information as to where he is? The houseelves has already checked the house, so I know he isn't guarding his wine storage from Mr. Nott and Mr. Avery for once.

I want to assure you, Bellatrix, that your figure looks flawless as always on the posters they are referring to. Not a hint of cellulite.

Between Ms. Skeeter's article and a lack of my fashion sense being commented on via poster, I am feeling quite pleased with my wardrobe at the moment.

Although i feel as though I need a new hat.

[Astra, Narcissa, Julianne, Danaë]

Narcissa, Julianne, Danaë, I was wondering if you three would do me the honour of serving as bridesmaids in the wedding? Astra has already agreed to be my maid of honour, which I am incredibly thankful for.

It's fantastically quiet as of late. I believe that could get used to this.

[Rodolphus]

I've acquired a new text on ancient runes. (Almost an oxymoron, that.) I am finding myself stuck on some of the translations, though. Would you be willing to assist a traumatised girl's education?

[/Rodolphus]

[Atticus]

I am attempting to keep Rodolphus distracted, but I feel as if it would be in the world's best interest if he remained on the property for the rest of the night. If he makes a run for it, would you be willing to distract him with something loquacious?

[Private]

I shouldn't be out. I shouldn't have left the others when nearly all of them are less capable of fighting back than I am. Mirielle was n

[Death Eaters]

If there's anything I can do to help get the others back, I will do that. Dangerous or not.

Would one of you kindly either put a stop to the male werewolf making advances at my brother or get it through Rodolphus's thick head that that is what is occurring?

Thank you.

It has been made more than clear to me that my opinion on centrepieces does not matter. One has to wonder, then, why my presence is required at such meetings.

But all is well. Elaith has gotten so big recently!

[Warded to Rodolphus, Rabastan, Marius, CHLORIS, and Astra]

I'm engaged. You should all know first.

[Warded to the Members of the Inner Circle]

I've been doing some thinking on possible ways that Dumbledore's followers might have managed to get out of the school even with the members of the Outer Circle on campus to attempt to prevent this: I realise that "What Ifs" from the past are likely not your greatest concern at the moment when we have the future to consider, but I wanted to offer it as a suggestion nonetheless.

It's highly likely that not every member of their group was at the castle fighting. Perhaps even some managed to get out through the Forbidden Forest before the siege. Those on the outside and the inside would have been able to stay in constant communication through warded journal entries. Many of us learned the hard way that their sorts have experience creating portkeys that go off unofficially back in October. If they were able to get those into the school (and unfortunately, an owl is easier to disillusion than a person, especially if it flew in over the water rather than the forest), it could be a possible explanation for a mass escape when none of ours saw a thing. They would never have had to leave the castle.

It is just a thought, though, but one that I wanted to bring up. Perhaps they have someone in the Portkey office that we were not aware of.

I am not a house elf. Rodolphus would say something if he thought that was all I was being seen as. Perhaps I am off base, but I have always felt that the best way to get ahead is to have contacts, and for people to find you worthwhile and tolerable. Is it constant petty bickering and backstabbing that gets us ahead, or is it making ourselves seem like an invaluable cog in this machine? If I believed it to be the former, I would make myself more active in the foundation, complementing dress choices and then snickering about them once their backs were turned. If I can make things a little easier for everyone now while their situation is unpleasant, or they are in pain, then perhaps they will return the favour later should I find myself in need. I've watched from the sidelines for long enough; I have seen how brown the noses of the Outer Circle members become when they have a chance to impress the Inner. Is this not how things are done? If Walden or Atticus or Mr. Nott asked one of them to bring them wine, you can bet that they would be crawling all over each other to be the first to ask Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir.

And I came out of that fight much more well off than several who have had years of training. Show me a house elf that can do that, Rabastan.

So dinner the other night was nice.

I want to do something that doesn't involve banquets and easter egg hunts.

My hair is pink.

My hair is pink and I was told that I look punk by a teenager.
I am considering possibly keeping it this way for a few d
