alt_padmaThanks for yesterday.
It's been really hard this week. I mean, the CCF stuff was good because we were so busy, you know? But since I got back home and we've started getting ready to go back, it's like all Mum can think about is how Sanji was supposed to start this year. I feel bad to Parvati because she's been dealing with her alone while I was gone. Mainly, Mum just throws herself into the studio and keeps designing. Sometimes she forgets to make dinner.
And Dad's not helping, not at all. Haruman says he just needs to get over losing Sanji in his own way. But I just don't understand how moving out helps him get over losing Sanji! It's almost like he thinks if he just pretends he doesn't have a family he can pretend he never had a son either.
I dunno.
Did you talk to Hooper any more about his brother? I know his mum's still upset about it, so that's bound to upset him as well. It's just too bad that someone nabbed Horatio right after he got fired, or Mr Malfoy might have noticed sooner that he was missing. But even when people notice, sometimes that's not enough. I guess even in the Protectorate, bad things happen.
The main thing is that I don't think there's much you can do, apart from just keep being his friend. It's hard when the best thing to do is nothing. Well, not nothing, exactly, but you know, just paying attention to what he might want and respecting whatever that is.
What do you think about that Finch-Fletchley boy? Are you going to meet him before the Cup? You'll meet him there, though, right? Why do you reckon they're just trying to convince him to move to England now and not before he started school?

Date: 2011-08-27 06:21 pm (UTC)His mum's upset in a loud way, and his dad's upset in a quiet way, and Geoff's caught in the middle, since he's home. He says his other brother, Fort, came round just a few times right after Horatio died and then had some row with their parents and since then...
I don't know if I'm going to have a chance to meet Finch-Fletchley or not. At the Cup itself -- he's going to be in the Lord Protector's box I guess, as the guest of Mr Malfoy. Mr Rosier and I will be on Level 20 but not in the Protector's box itself. So I don't know. Maybe I'll run into him in the loo, unless the Protector's Box has a special one all to itself!
