{Isolde & Felicia}
Darlings, I need your advice. Or rather, your opinions. I've been mulling over something for a long time, and it's gotten to the point where I need to talk about it with people I care about before I make a next step (or decide not to).

{/End Ward}

{Cass}
Can we talk without you getting angry with me immediately? I need your opinion on something.

{/End Ward}

Interesting.

definition (noun)

the formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, idiom, etc.

bigot (noun)

a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

bigotry (noun)

stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.

any (determiner)

whatever or whichever; no matter what or which

Therefore, by definition (see above), the following statements are both bigoted statements and are, for all intents and purposes, the exact same: Please note that neither of these are my opinion, but are just being used as examples in the intellectual dissection of the arguments flying around these journals lately.

• Muggleborns are ignorant bigots because they do not accept purist culture.
• Purists are ignorant bigots because they do not accept muggle culture.

Same sentence, same meaning, no matter which way you spin it. Bigotry is bigotry, no matter which side of it you are on.

Well that was unexpected.

I realise that the Ministry doesn't want to negotiate with "terrorists." But when is enough is enough? When is the death on your heads as well?

Just a thought while I wait for the sweetbread to rise.

We need to talk.

I think a weekend away was a brilliant idea on my brother's part and exactly what we needed. I have to say that I absolutely adore the Wizarding district of Paris, I have so many ideas to bring back to the bakery! I'm ready to try some new things, definitely!

I do wish I spoke more French rather than the basic phrases. I think I would have a much more... I don't know, authentic, experience if I spoke more of the language.

That said, I've had a lovely French wizard speak to me and he was wonderful about trying to speak more English. We didn't exchange information or anything I have no idea if he was even appropriate for me to be interested in but it was nice to have the attention.

Looking forward to another day tomorrow before heading back home.

Sorry for those of you who wanted something from the bakery and found it closed. We were in desperate need of a holiday!

{Warded to Cass, Heath, & Prisca}

That's it! I demand the bakery do a new promotion in honor of the new initiative, if for no other reason so I can continue to laugh about it for weeks.

We could make it some sort of chocolate confection for the mudbloods. I'm so clever!
