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.

Mum! Calm down, it'll be okay. The Order certainly won't leave you and Dad to starve.

No, indeed. Now, really Molly. We might have to tighten our belts a bit, but I dare say I could stand to lose a stone or two. Your cooking spoils me, my dear.

And besides, what makes you think our neighbours won't step into help, after all you've done for them? Why we took in Xeno last year, and I know that Maisie Diggory will gladly share, especially after the help you gave her when her potato crop failed last year.

Oh, I know, Arthur. I'm just--I just feel so violated, having them in my kitchen messing about with my pans!

And I know--I know I've fussed so much over the years over all your Muggle collections, and now I feel so dreadful. Why did they have to take it all? Even your silly plug collection?
