There is snow and ice everywhere!
My wedding is in less than a month, and how am I supposed to have an outdoor wedding in SNOW?

The flowers are beautiful! Thank you so much.
How are you? We really should get together soon.

The one thing I really miss about Paris is having a chance to do more than just paint. I wish there was somewhere I could do pottery. I was so good at it. I had some rather gorgeous pieces on exhibit at school. I find it odd we have a water park, but no art gallery. Isn't art what separates us from the savages?
Also, does anyone have any advice for expanding living space? I really will need more room soon.

Did I really just spend two weeks running around the boat stealing sweets and liquor?
On second thought, don't a answer that.
[Draco]
I feel sick. Really sick. I've been throwing up all morning and the thought of food makes me feel like throwing up.
So does your cologne.
I am going to the healer as soon as I can get dressed.

I do love Halloween. I think it is the on thing I really miss from being a child. It is a shame there are not more children on board. My mother did always find the best costumes.
Angelina, are you up for some shopping? I need to go look at costumes.

I am finding the brighter side of this ship, I think. I've lost five pounds. I've completed some wonderful paintings and made a few friends. I've righted some wrongs and I truly think maybe this place is here for that reason.
Now, if I can accomplish my other project.
Draco
I need to lay claim to you part of the weekend. These books I have all say our best chance is Saturday and Sunday.

[Astoria]
Astoria,
I know this ship can be a strange place, and it seems that it has brought out the worst in some people, myself included. I have acted in ways unbecoming of a lady and I wish to sincerely apologize. Neither of us can control the future that seems to be presented to us, and I certainly can not blame your, or hold fault to you for what has happened.
Draco told me he spoke with you about our plans, and this whole situation is very awkward. While I don't expect us to be the best of friends, on some strange level that I believe can only be achieved in a place this strange, our children are at least family. I would hope we could be friends, and hopefully end some of the tension that is going on in our lives.
If you would like to have lunch or tea sometime, I would be open to that.
Sincerely,
Pansy
[Scorpius]
Scorpius,
I would like to apologize to you. It was not my place to try to involve myself in what is a private matter between yourself and Draco a few weeks ago. I don't know what has caused the rift between you, but it was not my place to get involved. I sincerely hope you and Draco can reconcile at some point, and if you ever wish to talk, or need anything, my door will always be open to you. Your father can be an arrogant, stubborn prat, but he does want you in his life.
Sincerely,
Pansy
[Self, Draco can read]
Amends needed to be made, and I have at least opened the door. We shall see if anything comes of it, but at least I tried. I want things to be good for my future family, all of them. No matter how I feel, Scorpius is family, and so is his mother to some degree. Family is more important than anything, and I have so precious little anymore.

Angelina, your class yesterday was brilliant. I am looking forward to next week.
Anyone who is interested in the theatrical troupe, would a meeting next Wednesday at the first common room on deck 2 from the elevators be alright?
Romilda, would you like to have tea sometime?
[Private]
I love Draco, but I am really getting tired of these little arguments between his son and himself. I wish I knew why his son hated him before he had a chance to even get to know him, but if he is anything like Draco, he's stubborn and not going to give in if he thinks he is right. Either way, it's getting ridiculous. If Draco wants to let it go, he needs to let it go.
Draco wants a second chance, and I am going to give it to him, though sometimes I feel like I give a bit more than I should. He loves me, and this is how it has always been. People always have this perception of me being so vapid and heartless. I want to be a mother, though. I want to have children and I hope I will be a good mother. I'm trying to find satisfaction outside of just us with the drama and my art. If I keep busy, I tend to worry less. I'm not even worried about losing him again, but more afraid of making a huge mistake.
Current Projects
1. Black Family Lounge
2. Painting of Malfoy Manor Gardens for Narcissa
3. Redecorate room
4. Get up to running 5 kilometers again

The rooms are done, and ready to be warded. I hope you are pleased with the outcome.

This place is far less unpleasant than it used to be.
[Narcissa]
I found a place for the Black family private rooms. Bellatrix says she can set the wards but it needs extensive remodeling. Would you like to help me?
[Draco]
I had the best time with your aunt, Bellatrix. I believe we have found a small solution to the problem of not having any private space for the family. I am hoping by the end of the week there will be a Black family community room on the second deck. I'll be down there working on it if you need me. I realize it is not an entire floor, but it is a start.

Would anyone be interested in possibly forming a small theatre company? It seems we are lacking in cultural events on ship. I have a few ideas for productions but that would mostly depend on interest. We certainly can't produce A Midsummer Night's Dream with only 3 actors. Even if acting is not your cup of tea, there is a need for people to work behind the scenes.

Life on this ship reminds me of a play by Samuel Beckett. (Yes, I know, enjoying muggle plays is a horrible habit, but everyone has one, mine is the theatre) A pair of men are trying divert themselves while they wait expectantly and unsuccessfully for someone named Godot to arrive. They claim him as an acquaintance but in fact hardly know him, admitting that they would not recognize him were they to see him. To occupy themselves, they eat, sleep, converse, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide — anything "to hold the terrible silence at bay"
Some days I feel that is all this place is... waiting. We do things to occupy our time, and in the end, it's all to keep the waiting, the silence at bay. The question then becomes what are we waiting for. A future we claim we know, but in fact most of us don't even recognize? Would we even know our destiny if it came?
I believe I am done with waiting. What the future was is not what the future is, and I for one am tired of letting anyone other than myself rule my destiny.
[Bellatrix]
Would you possibly like to have lunch or get drinks?

I never thought that expanding closet charms would come in so handy, but two people who both have exquisite tastes in clothing trying to share a closet has turned it into my new favorite spell. Now, if I could just find out why every pair of slacks I put in there come out looking like they got into a fight with the hangers, it might be perfect. Fortunately, a good anti-wrinkle charm fixes them right up. Oddly enough I don't have the same problem with my sundresses, just Draco's pants.
I have been quite pleased to find the ship carried the cosmetics and toiletries that I bought in Paris. I suppose the powers than be here are well aware that they might have a riot on their hands if a witch can't get the right hair care products.
I really wish this ship had studio space. While I am enjoying the upper decks or the quidditch pitch for panting, it would be nice to be able to go back to sculpting or pottery. Since I have been told new things are occasionally built on the ship, maybe I can find who I need to speak to and make a request. I am sure plenty of people would enjoy a place to go make pottery. It is a very soothing past time. For that matter it would be nice to have a gallery. I might even get desperate enough to have an outlet that I start taking commissions.

This place certainly has a way of taking ones perceptions and turning them on their ear. I found a book in the library, The Fabric of Reality and though a lot of it goes over my head, the concept that there are multiple universes based on the actions and choices we make is intriguing. It certainly could explain the circumstances of this ship. Yet, we are here, and I don't think we should be too hard on ourselves for our future decisions. They might sometimes not be the easiest to swallow, and we might not always want to deal with them, but hopefully we can take something from it and make changes.
[Private]
Truthfully,I wish I knew more about my own future. Did I ever marry? Did I have children? Was I happy? I wish I had made different choices, not to have hidden from Draco, and from the pain of the war. I'm happy he and I are back together. I had forgotten, even among all of this chaos and bullshit, what it was like to be happy. I just wish I could shake the fears I have. At least I don't doubt in my heart he loves me.
[/Private]
I was thinking, this ship is missing art and beauty. Perhaps we need a showcase of talent, and a prize for the winner. Would anyone be interested? I have a bit of experience with directing and other work. I am sure if you are not up for performing, there would be help needed with sets and running the show.
[Draco]
It's a beautiful night, let's go flying.
[Cissa]
How about a girls day soon? And maybe you, Draco and I could have dinner soon.
