Its written in a diary she purchased in Hogsmeade and she records her views on the wizarding world she now finds herself in.
11th September 2008
I'm writing this from the living quarters in the Hogs Head inn, my current place of employment. I returned to Britain on the 23rd July and ended up here on the 30th July.
I did find it surprising that a wizard would be able to overlook me being a vampire given the general racism thats going around in this world. We are still classed as dark creatures but at least Mr Dumbledore has went against the tide.
Given the clientele here he's bound to be more open minded. The inn is very traditional and I've dressed accordingly although I doubt I'll wear a hood. Loose low cut tops and a long skirt seem to be the best idea round here and adding a corset makes it look even better.
I don't mind guys eyeing me up in the slightest. I actually feel overdressed in this job compared to other dancing and bar tending gigs I've done.
Oh and the man from the ministry came to see me. Just because I need blood dosen't make me a bad person. Yet this ingrained racism is so widespread wizarding folk don't even realise they're prejudiced. I got the usual lecture about not killing anybody and he mentioned about the transfusion blood programme. What a load of crap since its so limited its merely a PR exercise.
Does it honestly take blood to be shed to gain equality? I hope not but the vampire nations patience can't hold forever.

Apparently tomorrow is a 'Hogsmeade weekend' and that means I have to start work at 11am instead of 4pm. It'll feel twice as hard as a normal shift but it will leave my night free for other interests.
The boss said that was when the students from the school get a Saturday out of school. Most of them go to the Three Broomsticks but some might come into the Hogs Head. Our usual clientele dosen't usually arrive until late afternoon so we'll probally have a few curious students coming in to take a look.
This should be interesting if nothing else.

28th September
Casting my mind back the few weeks I've been back in Britain its not such as lonely place anymore. The bar clientelle are sometimes chatty and I know another vampire.
Revan Haine runs a shop in Diagon Alley and I really should keep in touch with him. Perhaps on my next night off I'll floo down there and see him again.
Things are just ticking over otherwise as one day seems to blend into another but the tavern seems to be the exception to what going on in the wizarding world. Ingrained racist attitudes still affect wizards dealings with other magical creatures. Vampires included.
The very nature of the fountain in the MoM shows this. From what I've been told it has a house elf, a centaur and a goblin all lovingly looking at a wizard and a young witch.
I've also found out from regular chats with customers that centaurs don't even have being status but that was by their own choice. Goblins had to win it after a few rebellions and House Elves are anybodies guess. They're beings but seem to want to be enslaved.
The previous Voldemort controlled regime showed what is probally the true colours of the wizarding world. The new regime is trying to repair the damage but will they ever try and fix the age old problem of racism against species. I think not since theres none so blind that don't want to see.

5th October 2008
I find it hard to believe but I've been working here for two months now. Things have settled into a comfortable routine and I even know some customers by name. I still get one day off a week and I really should call in on Mr H again.
I've also had the brave the daylight for Mr Dumbledore. I regularly make the bars deposits in Gringotts and its the first time I've seen goblins up close apart from being customers in the bar.
As we took the cart ride one told me about their views on ownership particularly Goblin silver items. In their view ownership dosen't pass over after the item is created. Crossing a Goblin is a particularly bad idea and some wizards have found out to their cost.
I also believe they understand the influence and power they hold over the wizarding nation by virtue of holding the wizarding worlds economy together. Blind witches and wizards may not see it but I do and if people did realise this more people would give them respect rather than think of them the way they do.
Some do realise this and that included the previous corrupt ministry. Goblins would probally have been stripped of the rights they had and lost control of their bank eventually.
Goblins won these rights with the business end of a dagger showing and it took them a long time and a few rebellions which got crushed until they eventually won. So if anybody knows about patience its goblins. A lesson vampires should take on board. The day of our freedom where life here is more like Romania will come and hopefully I'll still be around to see it.

30th November
Mr Dumbledore is pondering decorating the place for the Yule celebrations. While a tree might help left the mood slightly I doubt there's that much he could do.
He's the boss and my own Christmas experiences have been limited even with living in a coven and having a mortal life. Seeing the mortals in Bucharest running round preparing and wearing Rus hats with white balls on the end of the is fine for them but I felt like I was on the other side of the glass looking in.
I also had an interesting conversation with a Death Eater named Elizabeth while in London last night. It seems I've attracted their attention because I can move between the worlds so easily. I don't want to be tied to them because its the quickest way of compromising my own mission and getting picked up by the MLE people.
For now I'm free to carry on without their interference but I also have dinner with Revan on Tuesday night. He claims what he will tell me will affect the coven and Lucien so naturally I'll take it seriously.
Since its a fancy restaurant I suppose I'll better dress up nice. I do have a backless halterneck dress that drives Lucien wild so that should help the evening go more smoothly.

1st December
Reading the days Daily Prophet (once the boss had finished with it) I found a story which although buried showed the levels some wizarding folk will go. Even after a war which would have wiped out the muggleborn population of Britain if it had gone on for long enough as well as possibly the British werewolf population.
A choir of freed house elves won a wizarding choir competion fair and square yet were denied the glory of the achievement. A human French choir were the runners up but were declared the victors instead.
Yet this story about a disgraceful case of race discrimination was buried in the paper. The reporter had the courage to pen it in the first place and wizarding society should hang its head in shame. I also don't understand why the elves are accepting this so meekly. It also comes from a world which can have Lorcan D'Eath topping the wizarding charts and seemingly hordes of screaming young witch fans even with him being a half vampire.
I'll be sending this clipping to Lucien but it seems the hangover of the Death Eaters still poisons the minds of people. What if the death eater I spoke to was telling the truth? That they really want to change things and have new objectives.
I need more evidence and trust right now is non-existent between her and myself. While I would like to understand them better I won't let them influence my thinking. My aims and mission remain the same.

Dinner was quite a success. It was the type of place I would never have been to as a mortal and rarely seen in Bucharest. The dress seemed to have the effect I hoped as well since we spent the night together afterwards.
Life has gotten a little complicated but I can deal with this change of circumstances just like I've handled a change of life before. The time I was turned and had to learn a whole new trade and lifestyle was one time.
Unlife is always changing regardless. The wheel of fortune keeps turning for everybody.

17th December 2008
Yule is fast approaching but that celebration has very little meaning to me. It feels like I'm the one of the outside looking in and this year I'm parted from my mate. It might well be a lonely time.
I can still dream about him and though I can still have sex with others only Lucien has my heart. Other things carry on as usual but 'J' as I'll call him to protect his identity from law enforcement officers seems interested in me. Not just because he invited me to join the 'club' but I think there could be an attraction as well.
I feel slightly attracted to him but does he feel the same way? I guess I'll find out if we ever meet up again despite the danger level attached to a repeat meeting.
Nightmares still trouble me but recently they're getting worse and more horrific. They also take longer to get over when I do wake up and I hate being that little broken girl again. One who lost her innocence before she even realised she had it. The girl who died along with her human name.
That life seems long gone but I'm still a child in vampire terms. Theres still so much to learn and overcome especially my past.

I've got an invite to Jaden's new year party. I'm torn between the very smart dress I wore for Revan or a more comfortable and shorter gothic dress. A long dress probally would work better given the occasion but when did I start to worry about what people will make of a gothic dress? Its my style and I can't exactly pop down to muggle London and go dress shopping.
I'll make my mind up closer the time. Its time for work so I can ponder this while its quiet.

31st January 2009
Why do I always ending bedding the cute girls? In this case a Hogwarts student whose also a half vampire. We made love all night and we had time for a chat before her parents unexpectantly returned.
I'm sure next time my room will have to be the venue. Less chance of being disturbed that way. Anyway Bella asked me if I could turn her. I can't make her a full vamp but I'll show her as much of the vampire world as I can. She does want to live the life I have and looks like she wants to turn her back on the life she has.
So plans have been made. 10am Friday morning we meet up and head down to London. I've booked a room with a double bed in the Leaky Cauldron for us so we can make love and sleep the day away once we get there. Then the fun can begin once the sun sets.

7th February 2009
The London trip was a success and the memories of those two days still burn brightly. It was also a chance to get a lot of things I normally couldn't in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley. Thankfully late night shopping hasn't died out otherwise my kind would have a hard time obtaining anything.
A couple of nice short dresses were obtained as well as more practical clothes. Even if I don't feel the cold I'd stand out a mile if I didn't dress to blend in.
'B' has now seen for herself the reality of life for a vampire as well as the freedoms and restrictions we have and observe. Freedom of relationships also comes into the mix and although we now share a bed on occasion I know Lucien won't mind. I'm sure he's doing the same on a larger scale and my mate knows how a pretty girl can turn my head. 'B' certainly has and the memory of caressing her body gives me sweet dreams in this nation at war.
How long can we last? I've no idea but there will always be chances for us to be together.

So far fate has kept us together. If I could feel love that would probally be what I have for her but a strong affection will have to do. The lovemaking is great and my unlife feels complete with her in my life.
There has been a recent development in the shape of my lover quitting school so she can be free. That makes her an adult and she'll have to forge a new life for herself. An introduction to my coven will come soon and if all goes well she'll become part of the extended family it is. For now she's looking for a job and that hunt continues.

15th April 2011 (in a newer diary since the last one burned up along with the Hogs Head)
Belle's training keeps her really busy but I train myself if not at the same intensity as she does. By now I have the quick draw down to a fine art and execution of that move would make a samurai proud.
All the same I miss her not being around but I'm more involved in Revan's campaign than I imagined I would ever be. Revan keeps his secrets well but a latent talent for admin work which I discovered helps me to help him. Even so written records are kept to a minimum since you don't know who could be looking for them.
So while I write these lines I can't help think about Belle and the sweet times we have together. Our lovemaking is something mortals could only dream about. We both know we love each other and I hope we can continue to stay together through these dark and uncertain times.
