I heard that a pack of filthy half-breeds ransacked Hogsmeade. They should be hunted to extinction. All of them.
[Private]
I'm going to have to figure out what to do - time is of the utmost import here. Somehow the zebra fur continues to expand over my legs and its' nearly reached my arms now and getting that much more difficult to cover it up. I've not found anything in my research, however, I've been able to narrow down when this started and it seems to coincide with the attack at the Irish Ministry on Halloween...but what kind of spell is it?

[Private to Kallistrate]
Kalli, my darling sister...A rather unfortunate mystery ails me and I wonder if you happen to have any of that hair-reduction creme?

Worth every moment.
[Hexed Extremely Private]
Worthy of notation:
There’s something wrong. I don’t know what, or how or why, but I’m fairly convinced it hasn’t anything to do with my potion but I cannot take that risk. I can’t go to the hospital wing. I thought it was poison oak or something at first, but it won’t respond to my treatment. And it’s spreading, though now the rash is changing into stripes, the best description would be like a zebra. I can still cover it, but everyday it increases just a bit. At this rate, within the month it will cover nearly half my body unless I find a way to stop it.
I’ll start at the library. No need to worry Kalli just yet.

Incendio Metasoma is a lovely curse...but next time, the mudblood dies.

[Private to Kallistrate]
Kalli,
I could use your help if you have some time this evening. I think I need some stitches in the back of my head and I would really rather avoid the hospital wing right now. Would you be so kind as to work your healing talents for me? Thank you, darling sister.

The arctic wind blows stronger. I can feel it coming. It's colder now though most certainly comforting in the twilight of our a new dawn. There's a scent to it, like death....sweetness upon the frozen air.
Tonight there will be celebrations of birth and death I do hope it snows tonight.

I'm 18 today. It doesn't feel any different yet, though I suspect after this weekend it will. The potion is nearly done, and now it's only a matter of enhancing it further. I hope the Dark Lord is pleased and allow me to take His mark this year

Mother,
I do not trust the Malfoy boy. He's proven himself weak and while I know it is somewhat to be expected of him, I have witnessed his weakness with my own eyes on Halloween. He does not seem loyal to our cause. I do not trust these forms of communication and request that we meet in person to discuss this further as I'm sure the Dark Lord would want to know if one of his up-and-coming were to severely fall short in their loyalty.
As Always, Yours,
- Constantine

Halloween is a brilliant time. A time of magic and it is Our time. For centuries we have hidden ourselves from the filthy muggle world and it sickens me. They steal our holiday and prance about pretending to be something they are not, nor will they ever be. They should be stripped of such festivities and put in their rightful place.
Which brings me to my point. I was walking to class this morning and found a flyer on the floor advertising a muggle Halloween party. I can only assume it had fallen from the bookbag of a student here. Rest assured that the flyer has been given to Professor Umbridge. I do hope she decides to pass the address of the party on to the Ministry authorities.

Batch No. 2 will be ready soon. Less gnome blood and a dash more bone powder should do the trick. Once it filters through the cycle, it should be ready for testing again. If it works as I suspect, it won't be long before I'll need to collect samples from an unpure test group. I wonder if such a task would be fit for Draco...perhaps...though, I do have some reservations about him.

[Private to Kallistrate]
I trust that your well? It's been ages, it seems since we last had our breakfast together. Perhaps Sunday morning?

I received an official owl from the Ministry regarding Mother and Father. It said:
Dear Mr Lestrange,
We wish to inform you that your parents, Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange, are currently out of the country on urgent business for the Ministry. They wished for you to know that while they are away, you are to go to your relatives for any assistance you may require.
They will return when their business is finished.
- Dolores Umbridge, Hogwarts High Inquisitor
But don't worry yourself, Kalli. I'm sure there is nothing to be concerned over and that it was simply an informational letter penned by someone behind a desk. Mother and Father would, however, want us to keep firm to who we are and conduct ourselves with the same pride and utmost honour as if they were here. You can always come to me, darling sister, should you need anything. In fact, I'd prefer that you come to me, as you well know that I am always here for you, and always will be.
As always, your brother,
Constantine

The filthy fallen leaves now covering the grounds are soon to wither as they're trampled into the earth and covered with ever increasing layers of frost and then snow. Pure Snow; a purity covering the earth as the season of death change approaches....And it isn't a matter of simply stopping it; for purity cannot be stopped. Even as some leaves cling desperately to their trees, they will fall and the Pure snow will always come, always blanket our world. Forever. Simply pure. Simply right. Simply the way of the world.
And these penned musings, these sometimes jousting journals roust fervor and rage, encourage disobedience and separate us from our goals. They are distractions and yet, also connections. They create and they destroy. They inspire and they deflate. Ego and entitlement bathe in the inkwells of quills unfit for such a prize. Though, it begs the reminder that the quill is not mightier than the wand if one isn't afraid to wield their wand.

Professor Snape,
My parents are arriving in Hogsmeade this Saturday and have requested that my sister and I meet them. Since it is not an official Hogsmeade weekend, I would appreciate your permission to go to Hogsmeade this Saturday.
Thank you,

[Hexed private – readable only to Lestranges]
I've been researching some things of the things we discussed, Mum, and found these certain facts to be worthy of notation. I've quoted from some notes by Karl Dalakchov, Medi-Wizard:
"The differences in Wizarding and Muggle blood are due to the presence or absence of certain protein molecules called antigens and antibodies. The antigens are located on the surface of the red blood cells and the antibodies are in the blood plasma. Pureblood Witches and Wizards have a different type and combination of these molecules than Muggles. The blood group you belong to depends on what you have inherited from your parents.
There are more than 20 genetically determined blood group systems within the Muggle population known today and only 1 genetically determined blood group for Witches and Wizards. Not all blood groups are compatible with each other. Mixing incompatible blood groups leads to blood clumping or agglutination, which is dangerous for individuals. The clumped red cells can crack and cause toxic reactions. This can have fatal consequences."
There it is. The man is a bloody genius. It's only too bad that he died back in 1930 and left only his notes and unfinished notes at that. He was a remarkable wizard. Can you imagine had he finished his work? Though, I think I have enough here to pick up where he left off...
Yours,
- Constantine

*OOC Note: I have slightly altered a real document in order for this entry to sound wizardingworldish. I have added, deleted, changed names and numbers and even made up a fake history of the author, but kept some of the verbage as it sounds way more medical than I could write and I wanted to be somewhat realistic with this. I do not wish to plagiarize or offend, and please let me know if this is out of line and I will remove it.

Hogwarts High Inquisitor. Congratulations Professor Umbridge! It is a great day for Hogwarts, indeed.
As for classes, I look forward to finally being challenged as a wizard rather than wasting my time learning about those filthy muggles, or wasting away reading wet tea. There are far better and more useful things I could be doing with my time.
- C.M Lestrange
[Hexed Private]
Bloody mess this place is. Thankfully someone has taken note and is doing something about it. I intend to do all I can to right this place. I don't know yet if Umbridge will be an asset or not, however her motivations seem in tact for now. Only time will tell for certain.
It won't be long before I'm out of here either, but it is time now to leave my mark upon these hallowed halls. The Right and Pure shall rise and rid the filth that sours this school and I shall do my part to ensure we succeed. Mark my words.

[Hexed Private to Professor Snape]
Professor Snape,
I would appreciate your permission to use the 7th Year Potions classroom when time permits.
Thank you,
- C.M Lestrange
[/Hex]
[Private to Kallistrate]
Dearest sis,
It's good to be back at Hogwarts. How are your classes this term? Oh, and by the way, I do hope it wasn't you that I saw entering an empty classroom with that boy yesterday. You know Father would have a fit if he found out. Be mindful of who you're seen with and let me know should you need your big brother for anything.
As Always,
Your Brother
[/Private to Kallistrate]
[Private to Mother]
Mother,
It is looking to be a solid start to what will be a successful year and thank you for sending the potions ingredients. They will be quite useful. Do tell me if you need anything, Mother? I hope to have access to a potions classroom soon; I have submitted my request as per protocol. I will keep an eye out for your owl and look forward to your visit.
Yours,
Constantine
