Back In Lindau
Some time away from the winter locked city has done me well. Though I received very unpleasant news on Christmas Eve, I was able to join my family for a fine Yule celebration. Mother made an excellent meal, no magic was involved. I’ve decided to take up reading as my mother got me the most unique device I’ve ever seen. It’s a Nook or as muggles tend to refer to them as e-readers....
Mourning
I’ve lost someone very close to me today, I apologize but I may be away for some time while I offer condolences to my friends family. I wish you all a happy holidays and hope that they are cheerful.

Winter Days
The sun has come out today, for the first time in what seems like ages I was able to warm my skin under it’s gentle embrace. The air in Lindau is still very much cold, but the sun makes everything better. I don’t know if I’d mentioned this in the past, but I both love and hate the cold, I love it because it means snow is coming and that I’ll be able to drink lots of my...
All Is Well.
I realize that the calendar has revealed that I’ve been away for over a month. I wish I had some elaborate excuse for my disappearance, but unfortunately those demons will forever be between myself and those who have waylaid me. I’m back now, and that’s all that counts. Unfortunately in my absence, any research into the Grindylow problem has gone virtually untouched, Lindau...

Night Has Fallen
I’ve come to the realization that I hate night time on this Isle. It’s bitterly cold, the sea breeze is like a hand of death brushing against my skin if I dare step outside to take a gander at the water, which is only a stones throw away from my front doorstep. In the morning I cringe at the idea of trying to open the windows as they’re usually frozen shut. But enough of my...
A Fine Cup Of Coffee
I wonder sometimes if my mother is as equally talented with divination as myself. I was recently startled by the sudden appearance of a parcel by my fireplace. My mother has knack for knowing when I’m in dire need of something that reminds me of my London home. Within the parcel I found a tin of my favorite coffee, something i enjoy to drink in the evening to soothe my nerves. I do so love...
A Odd Memory
Sitting here and drinking tea has reminded me of something rather special. I recently allowed a secret of my lineage to be passed on to a great mentor of mine, such secrets have reminded me of words the great wizard Merlin used to speak to my ancestors all those years ago. These words have long since been passed down to the witches and wizards in my family.
“Remember that even when the...
Lazy Afternoons
I do believe if I write down one more note about Grindylow’s I may have to hang myself. I’m going to put the books aside for a moment, brew up some good strong English tea and watch some ridiculous muggle television. I’d taken up this habit at a very young age, much to my parents distaste, I find it to be somewhat educational and good for a laugh. Again, I’m excepting...
Waking Up To Snow
I woke up to the pleasing sight of snow on the ground this morning, it’s a sight that always warms my heart to it’s deepest depths. I spent far too much time last night doing research on Grindylow, so much in fact that I had my fair share of nightmares the other evening. My owlery is open.

Change of Plans
Unfortunately Mei and I were unable to meet for tea, though as I’ve been informed the reasons behind the sudden change of plans was rather dire. As I am no good with brewing potions I was unable to offer my assistance. So, rather then worry too deeply on the matters at hand, I’m going to enjoy a relaxing evening at home with my adorable kitten Gabriel. He’s a lovely little...
A Little Witchy Cooking
Well it’s turned out to be a lovely evening to make a fantastic seafood boil. Though magic may not be involved when I’m cooking, it’s the closest thing I do willingly that reminds me of Potions class. I must admit however that standing at the stove, observing a boiling pot full of a herbs, spices, and shrimp is oddly nostalgic of old times back in school.
But enough of the past...
Grindylow Theory #1
After a few more hours of research it saddens me to state that there have been no mentioning so far of Grindylow traveling a great distance to migrate to new waters. As it stands we in the wizarding world know that Grindylow largely make their habitats in the waters of Great Britain and Ireland. It would not be so hard to believe that varying species of Grindylow could be found all over the world,...
Research Notes #1
So, after an hour of reading into the books I received the Ministry, I’ve come up with the following recurrences in history involving Grindylow.
1. Grindylow were first mentioned in folklore, like most magical creatures of our age. These folklore stories were meant to keep children away from marshes, bogs, and generally large bodies of cold water.
2. Grindylow, though in rare cases, can...
Good Afternoon
I stayed up far later then I should have, I slept for far too long into the day and fear that anything I had planned will now have to wait. I woke up to a good surprise at least, a rather large barn owl was sitting on my table with a rather large parcel beside it. To my utter glee the parcel contained a rather lengthy note and a few books all about the creatures known as Grindylow. I hope...
Time For Bed.
As the hours begin to tick closer to the midnight hour I find myself feeling sleepy. I’ve been pawing through books and drinking peppermint hot chocolate for at least three hours now. Tomorrow I’ll try to meet up with Mei and discuss our plan of action so we can start investigating the Grindylow. Also, she’s promised me a tour of Dammar Dispensary, I plan to stock up on a few...
A Brief History Of Myself
Life has always been something of an interesting affair to me. My father is a pure blood, among his talents and accomplishments there are few if none to mention, but he is a good and loving man. My mother, who is also a pure blood, works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for International Magical Cooperation…which is probably why I find myself so wrapped up in that business more...
Salutations.
Hello everyone, this is Vimiv Pendragon and I’ve finally arrived in Lindau Isle where apparently my friend Mei Hartmann has reported that unusual Grindylow activity has been occurring. Unfortunately this activity has led to the death of seven children. I don’t know where the Ministry will go with this information, but for the time being I’m going to be staying in on the isle and...
