Dear Diary,
So, today is actually the day. The day I will say goodbye to my oldest child, and sent her of to Hogwarts. Of course I know it will be so good for her, but I still can't help but feel sad. After all, she is my little baby. Well not my little baby anymore, she is after all 11 years old now, but still..
It feels like it was yesterday I held Julia in my arms for the first time. That cute little girl, so small, so perfect. What an amazing feeling. It was just as amazing as my other 5 babies. Thank God, they will stay home with me, a little longer.
I have just finished breakfast now. I can hear that the family is waking up. I can hear Ron mumbling something.
"Bloody pile of books!"
He probably tripped over it. I should tell him to not use those words, and also that the books are there for him. It would be good for him to start reading soon. After all he is 34, it's about time..
Julia is coming down the stairs now. She is such a pretty girl. And really interested in learning something. Too bad the thing she is interested in learning is Quidditch. Her father has too much influence on her. She needs to learn that there are others important things in the world than Quidditch.
I'm sure when she comes to Hogwarts she will get interested in the more academically studies.
I mean, I love my husband with all my heart, but he did not get that good grades at all. He wouldn't have made it through if it hadn't been for Harry and myself (I don't know if I should write 'Harry and myself' doesn't that make me sound vain? I am not vain, I am not even close to be as smart as Harry). I don't know how many times he took my notes. And of course I let him.. I was such a fool for love. He should've taken notes himself.
Well, I just hope that Julia will be more attentive in class.
Or that she gets some really good friends who will let her borrow their notes. No, I will not let that happen.
"Julia, when you go to school, you have to do your homework yourself, okay?"
"Okay, mum, I will"
She would never lie to my. I know she never will.
Ron and the boys are in the kitchen now. I really hope that they soon will start eating proper ply. All three. I should tell, Benjamin is 9 years old and Brady is 8 years old. Those boys are really something. They look like me. They are so sweet, and I adore them. They can do these funny things "Hey Hermione, sleep well?"
Ron, shush. You are making me blush. 'sleep well?' honestly. You know that I didn't get much sleep much last night. And stop twinkling your eyes like that.
"RON! Not in front of the children!"
He really should learn soon that kissing is not something to be done in front of the kids. A Normal quick kiss is okay, but not that.. stuff.
See, now all the children are laughing. And I'm blushing. I am an adult, I shouldn't be blushing like that. Blushing is something you do when you're a teenager. I am not.
The little girls are jumping on the couch now.
"Darlings, stop jumping like that on the couch. yes, you also Ron"
"Hey Hermes, I wasn't jumping"
"No, but you weren't telling them to stop either. That's called encouragement. And don't call me Hermes. That so. owlish"
"Okay Hermione. You are some woman"
"Thank you love"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
"EEWW!"
"Laura, go in the kitchen and have some breakfast"
My little girls are 6-year old Laura, 4-year old Joy, and 2-year old Hope. They can be trouble. Wild kids. Sometimes if I need a little break to read or if me and Ron needs a little.. Private time. we sent the children to Molly and Arthur, who loves them. And that gives me a break.
I don't know how they handle it. Two weekends every year Molly and Artur have all their grandchildren in the house. Only them and the kids. I mean, that must be so hard. How many grandchildren do they have, 30?
"Love, how many grandchildren is it your parents have?
"29, and two on the way. And plus Harry's 2"
Close. I couldn't handle 29 kids. I have 6 and sometimes I have problems keeping control of them all.
I should tell, Harry and his wife, and their two kids, Jamie and Lily, also count as family. So, yes it is a big family.
I have to end for today. They are all ready to go to the train and say 'goodbye, see you at Christmas' to Julia.
I can't believe it. My baby is going away, and won't come back till Christmas.
I will write again tomorrow.
Love, Hermione.
