Regulus' wand dug into her ribcage and Orion immediately stopped struggling.
"You killed my mother." He growled lowly in her ear from behind as he wrapped his unoccupied hand around her throat and pulled her body flush against his chest. "Now it's m...

Dear Diary,
Today I went down with my parents to Diagon Alley to purchasemy required school supplies for Hogwarts and my very own wand! It has a unicorn hair core and my mother says it chose me because I have pure heart. Father and Mother argued as we floo'ed back to the Manor, they tried to be silent about it but I could see the deadly glares they were shooting at eachother. Mother has been very anxious these days, always chewing away at her nails and tapping excessively with her foot; she says a storm is coming. On a bright note: she's started to brush my hair and tie it with a ribbon like old times, telling the house elf, Tinker, that she prefers doing my hair again.
Sincerely, O.O.R

Dear diary,
Mum has fallen ill and has been staying at St.Mungos in a private medical wing for the past week. She looks pale and sickly; father says she'll be alright. He's been distant so lately it's just been my mum and I, bonding. I read to mother on nights, I've never been much of a good reader but she praises my efforts and runs her fingers through my hair as I read to her, always fixing my ribbon as she does. She calls me her little star and kisses me goodnight, although I have to bend over her because she struggles to get up. I noticed her hair splays around her head as she rests, sorta like a dark brown halo.
Sincerely, O.O.R

Dear diary,
Today the Black family came to see mum. They brought dalia flowers (mum's favourite) and the adults sent all us kids out into the hospital's garden. Sirius Black, who is two years older, taught me a spell that fixes/repairs broken things, after he broke my bracelet that is. He's gotten much taller and told me his fourteenth birthday is coming up. I asked him about Hogwarts and he told me all about it, how there was this gigantic lake and how the castle was enormous. He did most of the talking while Regulus and I just listened. At times Regulus would roll his eyes at his brother and nudge me with a cocky smile. When we went back up to the hospital wing Mrs. Black was crying, I guess no one decided to tell her my mum is going to be alright.
Sincerely, O.O.R

Dear diary, Tommorow is my first day at Hogwarts! Mum was moved out of the hospital and back at Rosier Manor a week ago so she's been giving me tips on how to act and what to do before my first day of school. She's still too fragile to move and we had a nurse come from the hospital and temporarily stay with us to help out. I'm a bit bummed mum won't be able to watch me get on the train tomorrow but at least father will be able to, I haven't seen much of him around lately, he's been under a lot of pressure lately; says it's work related but as far as I know he doesn't have much of a job. Mum promised to do my hair for school tomorrow under the condition that I write her every week, so if I don't write here soon it's because I'm sending her my entries instead.
