[Charmed Private to Self]
The anthology with my story in it is released on Tuesday. I got my copy by Owl today.
Even sitting here, holding it, it's hard to believe that it's true.
And the publisher wants to see more of my work.

[Charmed Private to the Headmistress]
Hello. I don't mean to be a bother, but is there a way I could be exempt from the sports class? Or to find something to substitute? Being around that many people and that much activity might be a trigger.
I can do research on sports. And observe from a safe distance. And then practice on my own.

Hi Professor. Nicholas thought I should tell you that I won a national short story competition. For my story, Unseen.

J. D. Salinger died.
I find that very sad. He was so very brilliant.
The Catcher in the Rye is one of my favourite books. And Franny and Zooey.

That was amazing. I never thought, before I met Nicholas, that anyone would want to do something like that with me. I never thought a lot of things, really.
And he's asked me to live with him over the summer. Which is brilliant.
I wish I didn't have to leave his room at all. The school seems a scary place recently. So much trouble.

- Story about two people whose past lives have been intertwined for centuries. Maybe millenia. But something bad haunts them throughout each life. Often kills one or both before they can figure out a solution. Told in bits and pieces across various time periods, including the present.
- Story of death - told from Death's perspective.
I'm trying to organize all the stories I've written. The novels in progress are bad enough but all of the short stories? I need more shelves in my closet. I could put them on shelves in my room but I like to be able to keep them hidden away.

Tomorrow I go and sign the final papers.
And then start dealing with everything else. Finances mostly, which is a scary thought, because I'm sixteen and not quite ready for that sort of thing. But I'll have to be, at least enough to find someone trustworthy and skilled to deal with that for me. Maybe my lawyer will know someone.
I don't think I'll sleep much tonight. I'll keep imagining everything that could go wrong.

[Charmed Private to Self and Written in English]
I've been told that it should all be offical very soon, and that I will be leagally emancipated.
If it weren't for Nicholas and his family, then I would feel very very alone right now.
But then, if it wasn't for Nicholas, I would still be trapped. With them.
I feel like I've been trapped, for years. Since Dad died. Since Mum remarried. And maybe, maybe I can start to breathe again.

[Charmed Private to Nicholas]
I've had a really good time at your house. I'm almost a bit sad to be going back to the school tomorrow. It's really nice here. Even when it's noisy and chaotic.
Thank you. For this. For everything.

Spending time with Nicholas and his family has really been wonderful. I haven't been a part of a warm, loving family in so very long, I'd almost forgotten what it was like.
I quite like Nicholas's room. Which is good because sometimes I need to come up here, just to sit and be quite. The pleasant chaos of the family can be a bit much for me sometimes. They're very understanding, though.
And it's been so lovely. All the food! Nicholas's mother is a brilliant cook. As is Nicholas, and Nathanael as well. It's really quite amazing. And the decorations and the tree - it's all wonderful.
I'm so very lucky to have had him come into my life.

My Secret Santa gave me some new writing notebooks. Nice thick ones. That was very nice of them.
Exams are going well, so far. Though I'll be glad when they're over.
I'm looking forward to the holidays for the first time in years
These walking snowmen are a bit disturbing.

I'm excited about the Christmas holidays, getting to spend them with Nicholas. But I'm also a little bit apprehensive. Largely about meeting his family.
What if they don't like me? What if they don't think I'm good enough for Nicholas? What if they think I'm rude because I'm so quiet? What if... well, there are an awful lot of what ifs.
I should stay positive.

I need to start thinking about a Christmas present for Nicholas. I want it to be just perfect. He's been so wonderful to me.
I'm going to write a story for him, as part of it. That part's easy. But I need something else as well. Something to do with Quidditch, maybe? Or cooking?
Maybe I should ask his brother. I'm not sure though.
I spoke to the lawyer on the weekend. Set things in motion. It's quite overwhelming.

Stories to work on:
- Sequel to Quidditch player-turned-zombie hunter story.
- Inferi love song.
- Child banshee story. Terrorizing village accidently, without understanding of his/her actions.
- Werewolf detective. Possibly set in the Victorian age, with a steampunk feel.

Legally emancipated.
Two bigs words, and yet they don't quite sum things up. I've barely even begun the process and yet it's almost overwhelming. The thought that I'll be on my own. Able to make my own decisions.
That I'll never have to go home again.
I will miss Mum. And Brady, even. I'll keep in touch with them. But I won't ever have to see him again, and that will be the greatest thing.
Nicholas has been so wonderful. I can't wait to spend Christmas with him. I am nervous about meeting his family though, but I'm sure they're lovely as well.

Nicholas! It's all been worked out. Turns out that my father did leave enough money for all my schooling, and it's been moved into a trust just for that. So I don't have to worry about not being able to finish up.
And I don't have to go home again. During any holidays or summer. Ever again.

I wonder what animal I would be if I was an Animagus.
Probably a mouse. Or something very small. Something that does not attract much notice.
Yes, a mouse I think. Alright, time to write the assignment. It shouldn't take very long. And then back to the story I'm working on. It's a sequel to the living ragdoll story.

Nicholas is still unconscious. I went to see him. Unconciousness looks just like sleeping. Except he hasn't woken up yet.
I don't like it. I wish he would wake up. I miss him.
