"Are you always this forward?" He asked teasingly since it would be a very short thread if he just ignored her entirely. — Tobin Cartwright in Take A Peek
Did you know? Churchgoers and worshippers had to endure a foul stench during prayers due to the amount of bodies often stored within the vaults of churches and chapels.
I have the most shocking, wonderful and confusing news in the world.
Edmund kissed me. Not just any kiss either. It was merely a peck at first but then it turned into the type of kiss I've only ever read about in those trashy romance novels that Nana thinks she keeps hidden. It made my body tingle and feel the oddest yet pleasant sensations.
Does this mean he wishes to court me? That his interests extend beyond friendship? It must mean so for I don't think he'd do anything so improper to me if it weren't so.
I've dreamed of marrying Edmund since we were children. How happy I am! How lucky, too. Only thirteen and I am being courted! And by a best friend that I've always loved. We'll be happy together, I am sure.
I wish I could tell somebody of my happiness but Mama and Nana would scold me for letting Edmund take such liberties with me.

Edmund barely writes me and when he does it is so .. formal. He has obviously written be letters before and they have always been a touch formal. But I thought it would be different? I thought he saw me different?
In three months, this current letter is the only letter I have received. He must be horribly busy since his NEWTS year will start next September. Too busy to think of me or to care about me too, it seems.
I got my hopes and dreams up too high. It is evident that I was merely a summers past time, a summer pleasure. I am glad I did not tell him how I feel for him. He might have used it against me to take even further liberties than I had allowed.
I really thought he cared about me too.

I have been following the current political storm quite closely. I intend to have words with my husband as to whom I feel he should vote for. Politics make me sleepy but I should have a little, teeny say in whom we support. Edmund is always encouraging me to speak up more about my likes and dislikes, after all.
Perhaps I will visit his study in the evening. That is usually when he is most amiable to a relaxed cuddle with me. It would be a fine time for me to bring up such a topic. Oh, I also desire to purchase some new hats. For Edmund, as well. His favorite hat is beginning to look faded and old... we're upper class, we should be looking the part.
I will be picking through the rest of his wardrobe with my ladys maid to see what other new clothing articles he needs. Honestly. There's being frugal and then there's being outright cheap.

I have discovered that my husband has no taste for fine art and has no love for animals. He showed distaste at a sculpture that was sent to us by his mother as some sort of apologetic gesture. I don't know what it is supposed to be but I think it's beautiful. Edmund thinks it looks like warring wild felines and not in any beautiful, artistic way.
And he found the crup I had been hiding in my private rooms and made the butler get rid of it. My poor little Forktail. Edmund says they require some sort of licence to have one as a pet. He obviously hates me.

My husband does not seem to be taking my political opinions seriously. And he refused to agree to pinch Mr. Casper Darrows adorable cheeks for me. He looks like a sweet boy.
Edmund has also agreed to take me to the Beautiful Beast Boutique sometime soon to find myself a pet. I hope he doesn't forget. He has been terribly busy lately.

I got all tangled up in my knitting again and Edmund had to untangle me. Again.
I give up on it but am planning to start on embroidery. That should go better, right? It can't be any harder than knitting. Right? Edmund still won't tell me who he is considering voting for but at least, he has some new garments for the events he has to attend.
His butler continues to make me feel uncomfortable. Why does he keep watching my every move? Did Edmunds mother pay him to report any of my failings to her or something?

Nothing much of interest has been happening. Edmund has been too busy to spend much time with me aside from my usual evening visits to his study. I miss love making. I don't care if that makes me a hussy or whatever. He IS my husband and I rather like not having him going to whorehouses and bringing back diseases when I can do everything for him.
Prudes, the lot of them, in this country.

Edmund has agreed to turn the farm estate into an animal reserve of sorts. My animals will have a place to call home. My little Forktail is being moved there as we speak, along with Edmunds butler whom will be overseeing the project. Edmund is a very sneaky man.

I am in need of new books since embroidery has proven to not be the hobby for me. I never did fare well with such tasks. Not very domestic of me, is it? Luckily, Edmund doesn't seem to mind.
Nana will be finishing off the blanket for me.

It's summer - which means Edmund has arrived. It is like the summer before never happened. And I can see a look in his eyes as he observes staff or our other peers of our social circle. I recognize it because I have noticed some of the staff look at me that way since my shape began to develop. Lust. And he watches males like that, too.
He thinks I do not notice. That he is so clever. I hate him.
He used me as a plaything and discarded me when I was no longer fun and interesting. Or perhaps he finds me hideous because I'm not a man? Or maybe I'm just hideous...
At any rate, Edmund hasn't seemed to notice anything off with me, he seems so preoccupied with other things. Also, I am loathe for him to get any power by knowing how I'm feeling inside all because of him.
He has mentioned some older friend that has come along for the summer. A recent graduate, I believe he said? Apparently, I won't have the chance to meet the man until the Masquerade Ball. Why would I want to meet a friend that is probably actually his lover?
How I wish I could spit in Edmunds eye.

The masquerade ball was almost perfect. I met someone. A very dashing someone. He took up almost all my dances! It was very obnoxious of him and of course, inexcusable as others had requested a dance and not polite manners. But no, he claimed them all and somehow convinced the other men to find other partners. Of course, I was quite put out and let it be known but he merely gave me this charming grin.
I think he is smitten with me. I don't know what I feel. I just know he made me feel beautiful and special when I thought I was not. He asked for permission to continue contact and I promised to give it but only after a formal introduction.
Then came my surprise as the ball was coming to a close. HE is the friend Edmund mentioned. Edmund formally introduced us. His name is Alexander and he recently graduated from Hogwarts and is traveling around the world on a grand tour. Such tales I got to hear about faraway places! I think we could be friends, at least, but I think I may very well be smitten. At least, I could be someday. He doesn't make me feel worthless like Edmund does.
Speaking of, I permitted Edmund the last dance with me. But his mind was obviously not on it or with me. He seemed so far away and there I was, dancing with him, having made myself as beautiful as I possibly could in the hope that he would look at me like he does those others. And he didn't even care or notice. I was back to feeling worthless.
I am cutting contact with Edmund Grey. It's not like he would notice or care anyway but I cannot subject myself to his presence anymore. Tonights ball will be the last he has seen of me. I hope it makes him happy to not have to deal with a hoyden of a 'little kit' any longer. I'm no longer a burden he has to humor and never will be again. He can rot in Hell.

It's been a handful of days since the masquerade and Edmund tried to call on me. I told the maid to send him away and she told him I was napping and not taking any visitors.
I watched him from my window and couldn't resist throwing one of my small vases at him as he stood there. Alas, I missed. I hope I moved away from the window before he could see me. I don't want him having the power of knowing I was crying.
I hate that I cry because of him when he clearly does not care and probably never did. After a while, I sent a staff member to alert him that I did not wish to see him ever again and to stay away from me along with returning to him the locket. He'll know how serious I am when he sees it.

I am so tired. I feel my baby moving inside of me and sometimes see the outline against my skin. I wonder how Edmund feels right about now? It is almost time.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.
There was a letter to the editor about a flood season coming. Edmund scoffed but I want us to be cautious. After all, talented ladies like Miss Trelawney exist in our world, what if the writer of that letter to the editor has such a talent?!
I insisted that Edmund get a boat build, like Noah with that ark thing. Or he could do it himself since woodcraft is a hobby of his. But he refused and said our little boat down at Padmore Lake would work just fine. He did NOT deign to answer me when I asked how he intended to GET to it if the streets are flooded.
He noticed I was getting angry at him so he promised to have the staff waterproof the house and that he would take part in doing so as well. Then he got me a little box of those chocolate truffles I like and a new hairpiece. Obviously, I am not angry at him anymore.

The time is coming soon, a month or so away! The blanket that Nana is helping me with is coming along nicely. She won't let me handle any of the needles though, just the other stuff. She also suggested I go back to painting rather than embroidery or knitting as a hobby so I have. I have so far finished a portrait of Edmund and an image of my two men.
Edmund still refuses to allow me to sleep in my own quarters, not that I really want to. I love sleeping in the same bed as my husband. And he obviously feels the same. As it is, I should probably turn in. I am being whisked away for a day in the park sometime soon and must rest up so as not to disappoint my little gent.

The time is now so very close. For the first time in a long while, barring times we have had arguments, I am now residing in my personal chambers. It has just gotten too uncomfortable to share a bed. I think Edmund was a tad more distraught than I was about it. Amusing.
