A rather late night last night

Molly decided to go to New London to spend some time with Bill this weekend, now that the children are off to Hogwarts. So I was alone last night when I received a rather unexpected visit from a few chaps from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. It seems that they had a few questions about Ronald's rather unorthodox method of getting to Hogwarts this year. Given that young Harry Marvolo accompanied him, they felt (quite rightly, I'm sure) that perhaps the questions were urgent enough that they couldn't wait until I showed up again at work on Monday morning. Since I was, of course, most anxious to do everything I could to set minds at ease, I accompanied them back to the Ministry, and we chatted rather late into the night. I'm home again now, as is Molly. I trust that all the Ministry's queries have been entirely satisfied.

Used to be a Beater on the Slytherin team, and is quite the young thug, always getting into trouble. So I harped quite a bit on the theme of "boys will be boys," and I think that had a sympathetic audience with him.

Trust Lucius bleeding Malfoy to find a way to soak me for money.

Date: 2009-09-05 05:05 pm (UTC)Thank you, Alice. I feel a little better now. Arthur's made me a pot of tea--in the one unsmashed teapot we have left!
I hope the children aren't too upset that I had to leave so abruptly last night, without even saying goodbye. Do give them all my love.

Can you repair the damage, at least?
