Dear Diary,

I woke up late today… Okay, so it's my own fault… I was up late talking to Hieronymous about Red Magic using Farspeak… I feel really tired, but I can't have been up that late. I don't even remember falling asleep, but I didn't get up until 12 today… I guess the spell really took it out of me.

Mom didn't notice.

It feels so awkward here, like I'm not really at home. School is more like home, even if most of them hate me, or are too scared to talk to me… At least there I have friends I can talk to about magic.

Maybe next year I'll stay at school for the smaller holidays.

Anyway, Hieronymous really helped me with the Lightning spell, I don't think I could possibly forget it now. It's odd… he said he'd been considering contacting me through Farspeak anyway. I still don't know what he meant by that, but oh well.

He was quite calm about the yearbook thing, but that was probably because he'd had the day to calm down about it… Professor Potsdam is avoiding him so she doesn't have to explain.

Also, I think she snuck the wedding dress into my suitcase… I found it last night while looking for my red magic book. I can't believe she did that. I will admit it's a beautiful dress though.

Right, I'm going to go talk to my parents now. I don't intend to be forgotten so easily!

Arianna's efforts were doing little to help matters, but it made her feel better… And occasionally, if she'd been talking to them for long enough, they could almost have a normal conversation, as if she'd never gone to magic school, and they'd never had their memories altered. The days passed, and she received two more letters from her husband, the second asking if she'd be willing to talk through Farspeak again.

She couldn't help comparing it to a phonecall, nor could she help the flutter in her chest at the thought of hearing his voice again, a flutter which prompted a blush.

She'd said that would be nice. The letter was sent on the 22nd, and Arianna hoped it would reach him on the 24th… That was a special day.

So we're skipping a couple of weeks, I'm not gonna be writing every single day, that's just silly XD

Reviews keep me going, guys xxx
