Dearest Journal,

We are to visit Hogsmeade this weekend to meet with Ace’s younger siblings: King and Jolie. When the plan was first laid out I was excited about it, but I must admit, as the days pass and the visit approaches I grow more apprehensive of the visit. So far everyone has been kind to me, but I can not imagine that all of Ace’s siblings will greet me as if nothing has happened. What if they don’t like me? What if they wished Ace had properly courted me before we married? What if there is gossip at Hogsmeade and they hold that against me for what it has done to them? I can not bare the thought that they might not like me, for they are all I have for family now. Perhaps I shall find the courage to speak to Ace of the matter this evening.
