Entry 23: These feelings I have been having for Hannah in the last week, they are like those I had for Dobby. This time though I must admit I am a little afraid of them. I was in this very position six years ago, all threats seemingly destroyed, gone and in their place was supposed to be peace but then Shay came out of nowhere and killed Dobby, Duncan, Clipper, and more, leaving the brotherhood severely damaged once again just as I was finally beginning to put the pieces back together. What I am getting at is I am not sure if there will ever truly ever be a time when it is a good idea to start a family and or a time when they would be safe.
Entry 24: I have failed to resist my feelings for her, it has been about four weeks since I first met Hannah and last night we slept together. Looking back on it I know it was in the spur of the moment. We were talking out on the balcony, observing the men and women most likely on their way home after a long day's work. She had laughed about something I had said, that I personally did not understand the humor behind but chuckled at the response to it. Then she kissed me and I lost myself in her. I woke up twenty minutes ago with my arms wrapped around her and knew I loved her, what am I going to do?
Entry 25: After that first night with her I had decided to try having another relationship. It has been two more weeks since then and I have had such a great time with her, but in that time I have also changed my mind on the subject. I do not want to lose this like I lost what I had with Dobby, do not want Hannah to get hurt because of the life I live, because of my responsibilities . So I have decided to leave for the homestead at dawn while she is asleep. I know it may hurt her but in the long run I hope she will be better off than if she and I had a life together while I was in the brotherhood. Here she comes now.
Entry 26: I am now back on the homestead, having arrived two weeks sooner than Aveline or anyone else has expected. As I walked through the front door of the manor Gérald greeted me warmly with his baby girl in his arms. For the past few years they have lived with me in the manor and I welcomed them gladly because it always felt so empty when I lived here alone.
