A rather late night last night

[alt_arthur]

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.

Very relieved to hear that you got home safely, Arthur.

It was about as tight a corner as I've been in any time these past five years. Between you and me, I'm very relieved to be home safely, too.

I have a hunch we're not entirely out of the Forbidden Forest yet, though. From what Crockford said, it sounds as though there will be a fine levied.

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

Stephen's got a few potions he's been saving for a rainy day that would go for a good price on the black market. you need some quick cash, Fletcher can always sell em.

Thank you for offering, Frank. Molly and I certainly don't want to draw upon the resources of the Sanctuary if we can possibly avoid it, though so let's keep that option in our pocket for now, until we find out what the fine is going to be.
