With the magic being back, Sirius and I have Apparated to the Australia Settlement, which means that I now have power to run my datapad again. We’re both fine, just tired and in desperate need of a shower, a toothbrush and a good night’s sleep, so we’ll be staying the night here and then see if the long-distance Apparation back to Zealandia is an option tomorrow.

[Private to Charlie]

I don’t know if Jamie already told you this, but I’ve messaged back and forth with him a bit just now. He says he’s enjoyed spending time with you and that he thinks he wants to work with dragons once he’s done with school. Do you… happen to know how he possibly got that idea?

Anyway, I am really, truly grateful for all that you’ve done. Knowing that he was taken properly care of is what’s kept me going for the past weeks. Thank you, Charlie. I hope someday I can repay you.

Speaking of repaying you: how much do I owe you for broken appliances? I might as well get the shock now while I’m too tired to really react to it. Call it an easy blow.

With the exception of my living room, I'm not minding not having magic. It's just a reminder of my childhood, really. Of course, there are some aspects that could make things interesting, but that aside, I'm enjoying myself. Does this mean I'll toss in my wand for good? I don't think so.

How's everyone else coping?

( Just like every other time she had gone exploring, she had brought a change of clothes, and just like all those other times, she had shrunk it to keep it from taking up precious space in her backpack… a decision she had been sorely regretting for the past week. )

It's safe to say I'm fed up to the back teeth of not being able to use magic.

Luckily I haven't gotten any injuries so far. Nothing beyond bruises, anyway. Don't really like the idea of slow, natural healing.

[Private to Adrian]

Thank you, Adrian. I really appreciate it. We’ll be home as soon as we have our magic back.

[Private to Charlie]

Yes, I’m all right, nothing a good long shower can’t fix. I’m not alone, Sirius Black is here, we’re following the coast line and we have a Muggle weapon with us, taking as much care as we possibly can.

You truly are a gem, Charlie. Thank you so much. I’m sure Jamie will love to spend time at the Ark, though if need be he can stay at the Pedersen’s next door too, so coordinate with them. Just make sure he doesn’t have too much sugar, or you’ll have a hurricane on your hand. Keep an eye on your kitchen machinery, just because he’s no magic doesn’t mean he won’t try to disassemble them. And don’t let him lure you into answering questions you don’t want to answer. His dad was an Auror, I think some of his interrogative skills have rubbed off on him.

Please tell him I miss him.

Oh, and I have a jungle inside my house because my sofa would get wet if I moved it to the one outside. Besides, I think we established earlier that your sister’s a pretty smart witch, didn’t we?

I hope to see you both real soon. Take care!

[Private to Charlie]

Hello Charlie,

I’m sorry if this is crossing any boundaries we may have, but I need to cut this short: I’m on Australia, a week or so hike from the settlement, so I need to preserve what battery is left on my datapad.

I don’t know if you’re at the Ark or in the Settlement, but if you are in the Settlement, I need to ask you if you could go by my house as you are the only one in Zealandia who’s familiar with my house and who has access.

Before I left, I started a load of laundry, which (if I know my nephew as well as I know I do) is most likely still there. Can you do me the great favour of checking on that, perhaps run it again and move it to the drier? Also, if you could go through my cooler and refrigerator to clear out any perishables (take what you’d like and toss the rest) just so when I can get home again, I won’t be facing the risk of being greeted by a growling box of toxic waste. If you have the time, is it possible that you can water my plants, or maybe just move them outside on the deck, then I’ll have someone take them from there?

I know this is a lot to ask, but it would be a great help that I would appreciate immensely, Charlie.

I’ll check my messages tomorrow around the same time.

[Private to Adrian]
Adrian,

I’m on Australia, at least a week’s hike north of the Settlement, so I’m going to need to ask you a favour:

My garden. Can you take care of it until I get home, please? As luck would have it, everything was just on the verge of being ripe when I left, and who knows how long this will last? Take anything you might like (both vegetables and herbs), it would simply be a shame to let it all go to waste. The bushes at the end of the garden… the berries don’t have any exciting qualities, other than being rich in vitamins and they make an amazingly sweet syrup.

Also, I’ve asked a friend of mine to move my house plants outside, and hopefully he’ll be able to do it. If he has, could you give them some attention to?

Thank you, in advance.

I’ll check my messages again tomorrow around this time.

[Public Entry]

Seeing as we're all confused prats without magic, Remus and I have decided we need a pub night. 9pm. We'll be the rowdy table. (This note also serves as an invitation to Sirius and anyone else who might want to join us, and a heads up to Lisa that she might want to be on her toes and have a whiskey waiting at 9 tonight. (Just kidding about the drink, Lisa, I know better).).

[private to Harry]

Hello!

James was wondering if you'd like to get together with him, Remus, Sirius (I assume...unless he out on Australia. Oh no!), and I for drinks tonight. James said about 9 tonight. Is that okay with you?

Hope to see you soon!
Mum

[private to Sirius]

Are you home? I can't imagine you being on the other island during all this chaos. Hope you're safe.

[Private to Lavender]

How are you doing with all of this, and how's Duke? Is it crups that don't like non-magical beings?

Just thinking of you. And how oddly comfortable this feels. My parents were muggles, so I feel a bit like a kid again, before I got my letter, if that makes any sense.

tt_remus

[public]

Well, I'm still alive. Sorry James for not replying to you right away. I caught some sort of bug or something. I don't know what it was but it was not fun. Maybe it had something to do with the lack of Wolfsbane? I don't know.

James - World's End indeed. When do you want to meet up?

Harry - Welcome!

[private to Ginny]

What's this I hear about solar flares and no magic? If it continues until the full moon how will I secure my home?

*** SOLAR STORM ***

As you might have noticed, we're having a bit of a solar storm that is giving us a rather spectacular light show.

It is also doing something else. We're getting reports that some people are having trouble casting magic. The science types believe there's some kind of interference from the solar storm that is causing this.

Do not be alarmed. We have no evidence that this will be a permanent effect, however, we cannot rely on magic while this storm is raging.

We have noted that magical potions, objects, wards already in effect, and creatures, do not appear to be affected by the storm. Take precautions when dealing with magical creatures during this time.

What the HELL is this? I accio'd a cup of the juice from the kitchen after grabbing my dinner and NOTHING HAPPENED. I swear, this place is doing terrible things to us! Remus and Sirius are grouchy old men, Lily is frightened (LILY OF ALL PEOPLE! I never though I'd ever see her scared of anything, let alone memories) , my son (who I don't even remember making because I never got that far in my life) is older than me - a grown man! - and I don't even know how to approach him, what he knows, who he is! Why the HELL can't they put us back through the damned Portal when we show up? I'm sure Kinglsey explained that at some point the night I... "arrived" but I was too busy thinking the whole thing was a joke. You know? I was right. This whole thing is a DAMNED JOKE and I feel... done. I feel powerless. It's not in my nature. My father would laugh at me right now and my mother would tell me to try a little harder and it'll call come easily to me. We're Potters after all, right? Between my mum and my dad, who've been dead for over twenty years, by the way... Yes. I just feel done.

[Private to Lily]

Are you alright? Have you noticed any weirdness tonight?

[Private to Harry]

I truly hope you didn't inherit a temper from your mum or I. Have you noticed anything off about your magic tonight?
