Meda's Journal (XV)
[Private to self]
Mum is so mad, I... well, I've never seen her this quiet and angry before, I mean, as a teenager. She's not crying or yelling or anything like she has done here, just was sitting there being really, really angry at Draco. I wish she had figured out she was my Mum without figuring out the rest, maybe she wouldn't be so mad at Draco's stupidity if she wasn't thinking about all of those who are dead in my time and his time and not dead here.

How could Draco say all that stupid stuff? His dad is dead by the point in time he's from, how could he think that would be something anyone could be okay with learning when they die? Lucius is eleven years old here, that would be HORRIBLE for him to learn when he dies. It's enough that someday he might figure it out if he knows what I've said about Mum's life before I ever said who she was. I don't want him to be upset.

Actually, I don't think I want anyone to know Mum is my Mum. What if they judge her like those people in those awful articles from that time did? They were so mean to her in them, right there in print, about being married to a Death Eater then barely letting him be dead before marrying another, even though Dad wasn't one anymore by the time they were involved and Lucius had been dead several years when they got married. What if no one understands Mum was heartbroken and lonely and needed Dad just as much as he needed her after all he lived through? I don't think I can take it if they think badly of her. I mean, that's just thinking, I'm not even going to imagine if they'd SAY things to her because then... it would be really, really bad for my temper. I want to know them all as living people not as portraits but what if someone does say something? The portraits UNDERSTOOD. All of them here will too, won't they?

I want to send everyone sweets. I think I need to eat more myself.

Dad's going to read to me in a bit, will you come too? Please? You've missed a bunch of the story but I'll catch you up.

[Private to Draco]
You really, really made MumNarcissa upset. Why would you say such stupid stuff when you know people here are dead in your time? You think they all should just deal with it and not be upset? That's idiotic, Draco! I'm so... disappointed in you and I've NEVER felt like that before, EVER. I always looked up to you growing up.
