    Do we often change places like this? How is it even possible for us to be wrenched and pulled to places without our knowledge or compliance. At least it is a lovely ship. It is easier to be more relaxed about this place in a location like this. I'm surprised I have such a beautiful room. It is seems Edwardian or Victorian, but also much more comfortable than the beach.

    Still, I can never stop thinking about returning home.

    Who thought this place could get any more ridiculous? Does this type of thing happen all the time? I'm a woman not a man.

    If this lasts for much longer we may need to start thinking about what to do with clothes. Transfiguration can only go so far.

    Fine I assume whoever you are you want me to write in this thing. For days I tried searching the island, but there is nothing. No magic to escape seems to work including portkeys, apparition and there seems to be something blocking movement out to sea. You have made your point now I need to return. I have a family there.

    I can see there are others here from those I have passed, but fine I will join you, at least until I can leave. If anyone has a sensible explanations please let me know.

    This trial is becoming harder and harder to manage. There are complaints from everyone, but I do not have a choice. It is how it needs to be. I do not care what Black says. No matter his fears he will be judged fairly without any outside factors.

    I know I should not make judgements, but it still continues to sweep through my mind.

    Innocent

    1- Lily says nothing happened
    2- Lily is still a virgin
    3- Journal entry suggests it did not happen and provides explanation
    4- His confession to James Sirius

    Guilty

    1- Lily could be
    (a) Too scared to tell the truth

    (b) Under the Imperius or other curses

    (c) Her memory could have been obliviated

    2- Her innocence may not be conclusive as
    (a) It just means she was not abused that way she could have been assaulted in other ways: Sexually or merely physically.

    (b) Perhaps there is a spell to hide the damage.
    3- The journal could have
    (a) Been written using any of the issues from point 1

    (b) It could have been manipulated. If Black could make the entry public he could change the entry itself.
    4- There is no explanation to the confession
    5- There were many journal's from Lily which expressed negative views. It could be explained by their story. Questionable on both sides.

    I have been informed the objectivity of the jury has been called into contention. As a result, Mr Nott will not be involved in the case. I apologise, Mr Nott.

    As well, Bellatrix Lestrange has nominated herself as a representative of Mr Black. If anyone would consent to act as prosecute they may submit their nominations to me. I know some of you may find it particularly odd as in the Wizarding World there is no legal representation in trials.

    [Mr Black]

    Do you have any objections to your cousin defending you?

    As is fair and just the trial for Regulus Black will take place on Sunday before all the huts. It will be conducted by a jury of peers as is most fitting for the current situation. We still require someone to oversee the procedure. I am tempted to volunteer myself, but I encourage anyone else better suited to take that position instead.

    The jury must be impartial. That can never be completely the case in this place where we are all privy to what has occurred. However, we must do the best we can. I have compiled a list of those who I believe as the most impartial members of the community. If I have made an error and anyone has a reason why someone on this list would be bias inform me and it must have a reason. The list is small to compensate for the possible bias of much of the community as well as how small we are.

    The List

    Merope Gaunt
    Gwendolyn Montgomery
    Theodore Nott
    Tom Riddle


    Furthermore anyone who has any information or evidence about the case of Mr Black please comment below. It is important that all relevant facts are provided

    [Hexed to Miss Montgomery, Miss Gaunt, Mr Nott and Mr Riddle]

    If we are following the laws back home you all technically should not have any choice, but to appear. I hope you do and you take your job and duty seriously.

    [Mr Black]

    You have the right to object to the jury selection, but I suggest you have reasons because the choices are limited. As well, you may testify yourself or call witnesses, but please inform me of the names by Saturday at the latest. I shall inform you of the other witnesses at that time.

    [Lily]

    I do not want to pressure you, but it would be good if you could appear as a witness.

    This is either a prank from the Slytherin's in the town or whoever brought us here is up to mischief again. I know St Patrick's Day is in March sometime. Is it today, the seventeenth?

    Oh well I suppose there is worst things to content with than green skin.

    Can everyone please meet around the fire tonight? This time we really need to plan if we are survive. There is nothing else out here and we need to join together.

    I think I am beginning to accept that we may be unable to leave this place. It is hard to imagine. I wish I did not have to come to this conclusion, but I have to. It has been too long now. Maybe I could concentrate on those who have left, yet it just seems so random. If I do leave, it will be without any intention from me. I wish it was not the case. I do not want to think about how I will never see Dougal and my girls again.

    However, if we are forced to stay here I think we should better plan how we live here. We are all just guessing. We need some sort of order. We should draft laws. We should have some kind of police force. We should monitor who has what job and, if the appropriate person does not have the right position, they should receive the correct training from those who might know what to do.

    It is strange how much you miss freedom when it has been withheld from you for so long. I do not begrudge you Mr Black, but having my own space again is a wonderous relief. I can use my arms without fear I am tugging another along or I can even write this simple journal entry with ease. It's a relief those winged creatures have gone. I did not like having to be attacked by winged creatures and tiny arrows whenever I ventured outside. They may not have hurt like arrows, but they gave me quite enough pain.

    So, after nearly six weeks in this place, does still no one have any idea how we can leave this place? There just has to be a way. We cannot give up. I am going to try to see what the wards around the forest are like if anyone would care to assist. There must be a way.

    This is silly. We have been here so long already and how many people in the town could tell you the identity of everyone in this place. I doubt anyone. The party at Mr Potter's was very useful, but it was not enough. I propose we make a list including everyone's name and the time they are from. Maybe then we can get somewhere.

    If everyone could please reply below with the relevant details it would be very appreciated. I suppose I could hunt through the previous public entries but this is by far the easiest alternative.

    The List

    Merope Gaunt- 1925
    Lord Voldemort- 1952
    Minerva McGregor- 1958
    Andromeda Dolohov- 1978
    Regulus A. Black- 1979
    Bellatrix Lestrange- 1982
    Nymphadora Dolohov- 1995
    Lily Potter- 1982
    Draco Malfoy- 1998
    Scorpius Malfoy- 2017
    Vivienne Finch-Fletchley- 2026
    James Potter- 2028

    [Hexed Private]

    It has been nearly an entire month. An entire month alone with Dougal or my babies. I pray they are in good health. I pray everything is alright back home, but I just do not know. It is killing me. I just miss them so much.

    I do not disapprove of having to work. It is best to have something to do. I always thought I would have to work to earn my way in life, but circumstances meant I never did. I am fine to change those circumstances.

    However, I still do not wish to stay here. I must return home. I will. I promise I will not just for me but for my family.

    [Ms Pansy Parkinson and Ms Nymphadora Dolohov]

    I do not believe we have met, but I am Minerva McGregor. It appears we are all to work in what is called the general store. I hope we can come to an arrangement so we can all organise ourselves so that we ae all comfortable.

    [Hexed Private]

    It is hard without them. I miss them so much, Dougal, little Vicky and little Kathy. My poor darlings.

    I have been informed a man by the name of Lord Voldemort. He is apparently a dangerous man who rises to prominence in the late sixties and gains the reputation as a Dark Lord. I believe such a man deserves caution, but I have never heard of him. He comes from after my time. I would be grateful if someone could provide me with accurate information.

    [Hexed Private]

    There is still no way to get home. My poor babies are left at home. Dougal is a wonderful father, but I cannot help but worry. I have not been away from them for very long before.

    I still do not understand this place. It could be a joke or it could be true. We cannot judge that now, but with no way to leave being discovered we need to plan and work together. If we contribute each of our own knowledge we have a greater chance of success. Then we need to ponder what happens if we cannot leave. The pantries are full, but as every day goes by they become more empty. I really think we should consider this. If we can sit and plan who is here and what we have we can ensure it lasts longer.

    I hope I have some agreement with this.

    I do not appreciate being kidnapped against my will! I was in the middle of a lovely family meal but here I am. Do you not have any considerations for the shock my family must be experiencing let alone how I am feeling? At least I have the ability to comprehend the situation let alone a man who has no experience with magic and a two-year old. Now, enough of this foolishness send me home or I will find my way home myself.

    I will not allow myself to stay here any longer. Not when I have a husband who will be wondering what happened and two daughters to look after.

    [Hexed Private]

    I can hardly explain that feeling. It felt like apparation, but being dragged against my will suggests a portkey. That is equally impossible. I know my glass could have been a portkey. Not when I placed it on the table and the only other people in the room were two babies and a muggle. I suppose it could be something else, but magic is such well documented that an entirely new spell seems inconceivable. I know I have been gone for such a long time, but to miss out on something such as that...

    There must be a reason my wand is now with me. It was hidden under my bed, but it seemed to come along with me. Is it a sign? Dougal is not here so I need not worry about making him feel awkward. I suppose magic will be the solution. It feel like a strange relief to think that way. It has been so long since I have for something other than house hold chores when my husband is gone. I wonder if I can do it
