It was so good of the City to provide me with the opportunity to spend some quality time with my son. In a way, I feel as if we are closer than ever despite how far apart we are now.

[He chuckles softly and then there is the small crackle that comes from something burning. A deep breath and then a release of air.]

Hopefully we will have another chance in the future.

A word of advice to those who seem to matter in these things...a curse works best when both parties get something they want in the situation, not just one side. If you truly wish to torment someone taking away what they want hurts more than things they never wanted in the first place.

This is not the Apocalypse I expected. Where are the angels? Where is the flaming sword? Where is the pit of fire? I'm a bit relieved...I haven't been to Mass in too long. Except for today, of course, but it does not truly count if you are not going to Confession for the sake of your own soul.

...I tried to be a pious woman. Truly.

... [There's a lot of silence on Hermione's end. She is standing before her window, gaping. A plethora of green leaves are pressed against the glass of said window...along with bright flowers.

...are those roses? Why are they - When did they -

Hermione's questions are nearly as plentiful as the leaves, which is probably why she has been struck dumb for the moment.]

I...thought...helping some of the plants at the base of the building grow would be...good? [She glances at her wand, paling.] I sincerely hope I wasn't the cause of this. I didn't use any Magic at all!

[Is it time to panic and try to remember obscure Herbology spells? You bet.]
