Sometimes it's nice to be lost.

My brother and I are going out of the country again. Paris for three weeks, and then back to London before school starts. Nick needs inspiration for his work, and my mother thinks I've been hanging around the house, not being productive. Lovely.

We're home from Rome, came back in time for my birthday. My parents thought I would want to celebrate it here in Chelsea, rather than Italy. They were only half right, I would have been inclined to celebrate either way. But in all honesty, it is a little nice to be home, I missed my room. And my dogs, and my brother is back in his own flat in Camden, I think we were starting to get on each other's nerves. Even though I very much enjoy spending loads and loads of time with him, it's nice to have a break every so often. He did paint me a lovely portrait of me for my birthday. Which I can never display or anything in fear of looking like some sort of egomaniac. But still, it was the thought that counts.
Has anyone heard anything about school? Are we going to be able to return in the fall? My parents are wondering, they fear they're going to have to send me to another school to sit for NEWTS. Beauxbaton, Durmstrang, it's all sort of the same to me. Except my French is much better than my Bulgarian. Which I actually don't speak at all. I just want to finish my schooling so I can get ready for magical law courses.
Since my father is a barrister for the Ministry, he's been busy since we've returned. He's been going to all the trials, and coming home exhausted. It feels like the war never ended, because this is exactly what it was like last summer, when this was first breaking out. He tries to hide how exhausted he actually is, but he's been snappier than usual. He asked me if I would like to attend some of the trials, it's a good way to get some experience, without having to intern or anything. I might take him up on it, even though I wish I would have taken an internship this summer rather than go to Italy. It was just a wasted summer really.
It still doesn't feel much like summer at all, just this weird inbetween thing.

I've been in Rome for almost a month now, and it's still as beautiful as the first day we arrived. My parents have finally joined my brother and I. We've moved out of the hotel, since my parent thought we would need a change of scenery. I can't say I disagree. I adore my brother, but being in such close quarters, well, it was driving me mad. They wanted to rent something proper, and found a vacation flat. It's been nice to have my own room again, I have to say.
I still spend a lot of my days exploring, and I feel like though I've been here, I have so much to see still. Nick has taken to spending his days working on his art. So, it seems I've lost my travel companion. I had to forge on without him. I took a few pictures I thought were the most beautiful in my stay here, and decided it would be most pleasant to share them.

We're going to be home in two weeks, and I do look forward to returning to London. I feel like it's been ages since I've been back in my own bed. I miss the Chelsea farmer's market, and all the vintage shoppes. And my dogs, I really miss my dogs. I hope my Aunt is taking good care of them.
You never realise how much you miss home, until you're somewhere completely different.

I'm currently in Rome, Italy with my brother. He's out though, getting pissed at some pub, do they call them pubs here? At some bar, which I graciously declined, because honestly, who wants to get drunk with their little sister? I took a picture of him before he left for the night though, he looks very dapper.

Very handsome. I hope the rain doesn't ruin that look he has going on.
It's been raining quite a bit since we go here. I don't mind it too much, all we've been doing is going to museums, and eating too much. Nick explains the art, and what he thinks they mean to him. He's very talented, and very creative. I'm sure this trip will inspire him and his work.
Nick wants to take a few extra weeks down here, and my parents also agree that's a good idea. They think this trip will be relaxing, and that it will give Nick and I a chance to bond. I agree, it's been quite nice, even with the rain.
I do miss my parents though, they might be joining us the first week in June, when they have their vacation time. How nice.

My parents thought it would be best if my brother Nick and I took a little trip out of the country. They thought with everything that is going on, that we could use some time to relax and start preparing for whatever the next step is going to be. My brother wants to go to Italy, and see all the art. Maybe he needs inspiration. I don't know, and I can't really say I actually care where we go either way. I don't mind just doing what he wants, and maybe it will just be nice to have a change in scenery.
I'm sure it will be nice, Nick will be planning the trip of course. He is far better at these things than I am.
