Private Message to Sally-Anne

Rosa is expecting.

She sent me an owl.

She's known for weeks. She waited until I was away to tell me.

I've known for a long time that I am more of a grown-up than she will ever be, but this is just so infuriating. At least she gave me the courtesy of telling me instead of letting me read about my own half-sibling in the announcements section of the Prophet.

And as it is, I'll have enough time to put on a happy face about it when the announcement does come out.

Ugh.

Ugh ugh ugh.

Not that I'm surprised. It was sort of inevitable. I just can't help but feel like I've been completely replaced. Or will be in six or seven months, at least.

It's funny how people can hurt you even when you think that they don't matter to you any more.

I'm trying to remember now how Hydra found out. Whether her mum told her in person or owled her.

Because if Bellatrix Lestrange was more considerate than your mum, that would REALLY be something. (All things considered though I imagine Hydra would prefer an owl.)

Now there's a thought.

I think the fact that mine is a half sibling is a factor, though. Like it's only half my family, and that half doesn't particularly care for me right now anyways. She's far too busy being the best Campbell that ever was.

Thank Merlin we had things to do this summer, otherwise I would have gone spare. I think next summer I'm just spending the whole time in London, because it's not like I see them hardly at all even when we are living in the same house, so they wouldn't miss me.

Yeah.

Maybe I could come stay with you and we could pretend we're all grown up and living on our own. That wouldn't be so bad.

[alt_pansy]

It won't be that much longer until we are.

I can't wait.

Maybe you could write St Mungos and ask them for a summer internship? That way you'd have to stay in London, wouldn't you?
