~Monday 21 December - Near dawn~Monday 21 December - Near dawnI haven't had time for anything.It is so frustrating having to go through with this illusion, pretending to teach when I have so much on my mind. I get so caught up in this act that I forget that I once had dreams and aspirations of my own - that I was once more than a pawn in someone else's game. I know, I gave up my dreams the moment that I became a Death Eater but- no. There is no sense looking back on all that. I never had much hope anyway. I have no dreams now.

I want to cough it out but I can't. Their malice creeps beneath my skin - I want to scratch that out, but it will never leave me. How can it? The scar upon my arm seals the black poison within me forever.
The Serpent Cycle: The Professor: Chapter 16~Monday 14 December – Late evening Clouds obscure the moonI watched them burry my father. I don't want to think upon the rest of it. I just want to teach my classes to take my mind from the matter. Tomorrow...~Tuesday 15 December – Late evening Clouds obscure the moonPerhaps I should have listened to Dumbledore's advice and allowed someone else to teach my classes today.
