001 | 4 january, 1981 [January 04] [WARDED TO AUROR TEAM C] The press is getting a bit pushy about questions Ministry employees on the use of Unforgivable curses by the Auror Office. I don't think I need to tell you that your answer to every question should be "no comment", but it gives me peace of mind to know you've been reminded. I'll see you lot for our shift at 6:45PM. [WARDED PRIVATE] After I got off work, I visited Ollie's grave this morning with Oliver. His mother was there. I haven't seen her since I was in St. Mungo's last July. She got after me a bit for not coming around for dinner lately, but I just didn't know how to tell her that it's been too hard for me to be in that house. I told her Kenna and I would try to bring Oliver by for Christmas, but I don't know how I'll be able to spend any of the holidays there, not after spending half of my winter holidays there every year with Ollie as a kid. I just wish I didn't have a memory of Ollie for every single room in that house. It'd be easier if I didn't see us as kids running up the stairs or sneaking food out of the kitchen while his parents made dinner. A part of me knows that's selfish. As hard as it is for me, they have a thousand more memories of their son in that house. Oliver is as close to a grandchild as they'll ever get now that Ollie's gone. They took me in when my family was too screwed up to be there for me when I needed it. I know I owe them that much at least. 1 +
