Esmerelda made her way through the village after buying copious amounts of parchment and ink pots, she was planning on writing a book all about transfiguration and felt it was time to do so now before her mind became addled. Her health had been slowly deteriorating of late to the point where she...

Essie had returned for a short while to see how The Gables was being kept and to check of course on Harrison and Andromeda. She came back to New Zealand in the midst of its electoral campaign for minister for magic and on that she had plenty to say. Her allegiance was firmly with Felix, the only...

Esmerelda turned and smiled at her god-daughter as she came to sit beside them. Embracing her warmly she could not help but notice the dark circles beneath her eyes that no amount of makeup or vanishing cream would rid. She would hold her tongue for now though, whatever the girl was up to or was...

Esmerelda had been having dinner with an old friend, the evening was cool enough for winter and after such a heavy feed she decided to walk a few blocks. Smiling to herself she allowed herself to think about the youngsters in her life. Soon they would all be returning back from school to her and...

Esmerelda had just said goodbye to her young charge for the summer vacation, she was to spend Christmas with friends of Zazuka's and as much as Epiphany had been thrilled by this, Esmerelda had been devastated. She had come to love the little girl dearly and knew she would have loved to have had...

Esmerelda had hoped that the boy was as clueless as others about her goddaughters condition and so it cheered her immensely when Andromeda came in and whispered to her that Ruki knew nothing. They sat down to their meal and Essie was convinced she could hear a pin drop. This was crazy, the...

Esmerelda could only smile at the banter, she was so used to all of this that it simply didn't bother her. What did was the knowledge that soon they would all be off at school again and she would be here at the house on her own. There was nothing worse. So she enjoyed every bit of noise that...

Esmerelda grinned as her grandson sputtered his question at her. She decided to leave him dangling for a while, what was the point of putting him out of his misery or Fenton for that matter. She patted Aries cheek gently, delighted that one of them at least was not smitten with her god-daughter...

Esmerelda managed to make a large pot of tea without too much difficulty even with the three of them in the kitchen making the small room seem remarkably smaller. "Slow down with the questions there" she laughed, "now let me see, yes Andy is here. I do wish you'd call her Andromeda I don't like...

Esmerelda smiled at the boy as he then made his way upstairs, about to sit down once more the front door burst open and in walked her three favourite boys. She listened to their banter for a while after returning their affectionate greetings. "We have a guest for dinner this evening, so be nice...

Essie stood up as the fireplace seemed to spit her god-daugther out. She smiled and hugged her back looking behind her to see a young man. "Ruki is it? It's lovely to have you. You must be in dire need of freshening up" she caught the whiff instantly of fish and pointing upwards as Andromeda...

Esmerelda was getting on a bit in years now, not as spry as she once was she relied more and more heavily each day on her magic. Which wasn't so bad but she found that she was also using her transfiguration skills more and more as well. It was just much easier all round and of course on the...

Esmerelda was busy gathering apples from the trees to take too much notice of the voice that called out to her. Sometimes she thought she heard voices all the time, perhaps it was age that was doing it to her. She knew she was getting awfully tired of late. Her grandson and one of his friends...

Esmerelda glared at Maeve. "When did you get to be so heartless? Fine be that way but I'd advise you to write home to your family and to Andromeda" she looked down at the struggling boy noting how very like his father he was. "I'm washing my hands of you Maeve, goodbye" Esmerelda turned back...
