Selwyn's pressed me to bring Ron in to visit the office. Very friendly, we're-all-parents-in-this-together, and wouldn't it be splendid to give the lad an idea of the work his father does, etcetera. I put him off a couple of times, pleading the press of work, but I didn't dare refuse point blank. And so Ron's been here this morning, touring my dingy little kingdom, and very boring I'm sure he's found it, too. Percy, no doubt, would have found it enthralling at his age, but I'm afraid it's not quite Ronald's idea of splendid summer entertainment.

But now Selwyn's invited him to his own office for a friendly little chat. Just the two of them. With the door closed.

I can feel the ginger hairs on my pate turning more and more white every minute that door remains shut.

Maybe it's not as bad as you think? Perhaps he was just asking Ron to recreate his performance as Moody's mad cat.

Actually, come to think of it, it could have been worse. Selwyn might have chosen to have this little talk with Percy. Which I'm afraid would have fallen on more fertile ground.

How much do you think your children know about your loyalties? You've surely kept them a secret from Percy.

Love goes hand-in-hand with loyalty, Arthur, and you and Molly haven't left any room for doubt on that score. Steady on.

Well, I also think that your children can have no doubt that you love them, no matter what, and that's a powerful advantage over anyone trying to buy them with seats to a match or even a high-paying job.

But I know just what you mean about worrying for them, all the same. I can't imagine what it means that Justin Finch-Fletchley's been brought over special for the Cup. I hope he's really all right and not in any sort of trouble.

Merlin.

You don't think he got anything out of the boy, do you? Just planting seeds for later? I expect it was difficult to know quite what to say to him afterwards. What to ask.

I can't say I know any of the children very well, but what I've seen of your Ron makes me think he'd be all right.

From what I know of him, that sounds like him. He does have a reputation for cultivating possible sources of knowledge.
