I have never been more intimidated in my life. The four men sitting before me all look very professional, and a bit stiff. I can only hope that if they do select me for this job, they won’t be so stiff on a typical work day. I’m used to Melinda… I take a deep breath and push all of the thoughts about Melinda to the back of my mind, where I already stored all of my thoughts about Parvati, Neville, Diego, Ginny… I force a smile and clasp my hands together on my lap. I know this meeting was last minute with the late notice with which I received their owl, so I can only hope that its not because I’m not being seriously considered for the position.

( The Interview )

Parvati didn’t want me to go out today. She doesn’t think I’m ready to go out yet. I told her that the Ministry summoned me for questioning and I didn’t have any choice but go. She was concerned when I left, but she let me leave by myself. Barely.

I arrived at the Ministry thirty minutes early. I was able to Apparate to the Atrium and get through the security point with no problem before I was shown to a small waiting room.( Numb )

My head is killing me. I can’t believe that the day I have to return to the healer my head is killing me. It’s not my fault, though. I think anyone’s head would bother them if they’d been under the same circumstances I’ve experienced today.

( A Bad Day )

I can admit when I’m being ridiculous. I know that moping in bed for the past two days is ridiculous. I can’t help myself, though. I miss Diego terribly, and I’m jealous he’s returned to our life without me.

( Sleepless Night )

I must admit, doing nothing but cuddling with Diego, sleeping, and cooking has been good for me. Who knew that healers actually know what they’re talking about? The ringing in my head has lessened considerably, and I’ve been sleeping longer. Parvati’s been out working a lot, and when she’s home she tends to hide out in her room, away from Diego and me.

( Reflecting )

My life has been like a blur since my fight with Parvati. When I left our flat, I had no idea where I should go. Diego and I ended up renting a room at the Leaky Cauldron for the night. I spent most of the night crying with Diego comforting me. We made to return home the next day when I had finally calmed down. I didn’t bother to tell Diego that all of the crying brought the ringing in my head back with excessive force. Of course, we passed Parvati on her way out, and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes again. I spent the next twenty-four hours in bed, pretending to sleep. I just couldn’t wrap my mind around what Parvati had done.

( Thinking Back )

When I got up this morning, Parvati was gone. It’s probably for the best, all things considered. I don’t think I’m ready to face her yet. I think avoiding each other is the best course of action for a bit. I’ve been tense around Diego since the incident as well. I can’t as much as touch him without picturing the look on Parvati’s face.
