11:18 pm	Interesting day Well well, what a day. Eighteen hours at work - I really hate young Carnaby, he delights in being deliberately obtuse without being obtuse enough for me to actually DO something about it, and I cannot dismiss him from my department since he's the third cousin of the grandchild of the uncle of... yes, you get the picture. I'm truly praying that he will transfer, but he seems to have his eye on moving from my assistant and right into my chair. NOT A CHANCE! If he takes the Department into his hands, it'll be a shaking mess in three weeks, I can guarantee you that much. Hmm - he's always chomping on a sweet when I see him, and he always helps himself to whatever happens to be sitting on my desk that catches his fancy. Perhaps I could ask Fred and George to put some Canary Creams in a fancy-looking box, then place them conspicuously on my desk as if they were an expensive confectionary gift? Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Am I actually considering stooping to such low childish levels and using the twins' inventions to accomplish petty vengeance? ...Yes, I am. Perhaps I need the Christmas break more than I thought. Now that the guest list has been (mostly) sorted out, I need to start thinking about other things. I forgot to ask - is anyone a vegetarian? I don't think so, but people will change their minds about such things so quickly... There are, I believe, quite a few males attending, and meat-eating animals for leftovers to be taken home to (three cats, for a start) so I hope that Mum cooks a lot of different varieties of meats. I'll have to let her know that finances are not a problem - I received quite a handsome bonus this year. Which brings me to my next question. Presents. Oh Merlin. What in the name of all that is good and not Dark does everyone want for their presents? And to top it all off, Ron let Hermione sleep in his bed, and said so in his journal, thus simultaneously embarrassing Hermione, inciting Viktor Krum's jealousy (poor chap) and arousing Mum's Cupid instincts. And then I had to step in and try to simultaneously tell Ron why he shouldn't do that ever again, and reassure Viktor that neither Ron nor Hermione were interested in each other 'that way' in the form of addressing Mum. Unfortunately, Mum thought I WAS talking to her, and wants to know. How can I tell her, when I am only hazarding a guess myself? A name dropped here, a nonchalantly mentioned event there... I mustn't assume. And I must NOT let Mum know what it is that I think, or she will bombard the both of them and they will have no clue what hit them - especially Ron, who tends to be rather clueless anyway. He is my brother and I love him dearly - but no one can deny that he is clueless. Not and tell the truth at the same time, at any rate. Well, I am heading for bed, I think. I do hope Oliver gets back in contact soon about Christmas and in general, for it will be nice to speak to him again. Yours exhaustedly, Percy Weasley, Minster of Something. I outrank you, anyway, so don't push it. Current Mood: tired (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:36 am	Attention all Weasleys Regarding the Weasley family Christmas at the Burrow: Mum has requested that I pass along the demand invitation for attendance this year. Everyone invited may bring a friend or partner (or one of each) if they so desire. I believe this is a hint for all of us to start procreating. (Fred, George, don't you dare even think of reproducing.) Invited are: Bill Charlie Myself Fred George Ron Ginny, Robert and Becca (and of course, Becca's younger sibling) Harry Hermione Mister Sirius Black Mister Remus Lupin Please, everyone on this list, inform me ASAP if you are coming, if you are inviting a friend (and if so, who) so that I may inform Mum of the numbers early enough for her to prepare. Thank you all for your time. Percy Weasley Not Having a Breakdown, Thank You Kindly. (3 Comments |Comment on this)
8:25 am	Why me? Merlin. Why me? Because I am 'the responsible one', that is why. Babysitter, Prefect, Head Boy and now Minister for Marriage and Annullment. And this means that Mum expects more from me than from the others, and always has. Bill and Charlie ran off overseas to leave me to get stuck in this role. Bastards Prats. You know, when I received Mum's owl this morning, I did not expect this. Normally I do not mind being considered the responsible one - after all, when one's first memory is of picking up the Daily Prohphet and seeing a vivid picture of the Dark Mark over the destroyed house of a family friend, with mum crying, dad trying to console her, and Bill and Charlie hiding unhappily upstairs - well, one tends to learn the value of care and discipline rather quickly. But this I am not looking forward to. It might become somewhat awkward. Or it might not. I will find out soon, I suppose. And work has been - well, busy is a mild term for it. I have not even had the time to update this for a long while. I feel rushed, and I despise being rushed. Percy. (and why couldn't I have just been Quidditch-mad like Oliver instead?) Current Mood: rushed (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:06 pm	Biography of the user Biography of Percival Weasley: Age: 35 Hair: Red. Eyes: Hazel. Height: Precisely 182 centimetres. Overall Appearance: Tall and slim, wears glasses, rarely seems relaxed. Has a busy, stressed air about him, a sense of always being in a hurry. Catch-up Information: Owing to being the youngest Weasley child able to remember the constant terror caused by the first reign of terror from Voldemort and the Death Eaters, he grew up moulded by this fear. Seeing books as both a means of escape, and a means by which to gain the power necessary to live without fear, his studious nature was created early on. Having helped his mother with his four younger siblings, he feels a great deal of responsibility for them and sometimes feels harrassed and exasperated by this 'burden', even though all four are now fully grown. He cannot "untie the apron strings". This is because, despite all appearances, he has a special soft spot for these four siblings - even the twins, who are forever sending their undignified inventions to his desk at the Ministry. Current Information: He enjoys his work at the Ministry of Magic. His hard work paid off, and he is now Head of his Department, the Department of Marriage and Annullment. His acheivements to date involve the controversial Human-Beast Joining Act, which permits beings that are not fully human - such as werewolves - to legally marry in the eyes of the Ministry - something that was formerly forbidden. Those with part-human mixed heritage also benefit greatly from this Act. He is currently romantically single and lives alone in a small apartment near the Ministry of Magic. He is not actively searching for romance, but is agreeable to the prospect should it present itself. (Comment on this)
