The MLE's report concerning the Burrow has been finalised

[alt_arthur]

Well, Molly has tried to put a cheerful face on things, saying that the little visit we received from the friendly chaps at the department of MLE probably means that the old place has gotten a rather deeper fall house cleaning than she might ordinarily do.

In all fairness, she has been telling me to clear out that shed for years. Well, that's one way to get it done.

Crockford told me this morning that the MLE concluded that given that Ronald was, er, instrumental in the disappearance of the Lord Protector's son for a period of time between one and ten hours long, a fine seemed to be the most appropriate response. Specifically, Molly and I'll being losing several installments of our Repopulation Rewards stipend. I'm to stop by the offices of the Offices of Purity Control to sign the parchment work Gregory Dunstan has prepared for me.

I'm certainly relieved that this decision brings this unfortunate episode to a satisfactory close. It could have indeed been much worse, and we are very grateful to the Ministry for their forebearance and understanding, given all the factors involved.

very politic of you, mate.

glad to hear they're out of your hair, though.

the offer for those black-market potions still stands, if you've a mind. would give us a chance to test the waters, so to speak.

It's a good idea, Frank - certainly there will always be staples enough in the stockroom at Laszlo, assuming we can keep her running, but I see no reason we can't subsidise the Weasley household where needed. And testing out the network with a few well-placed potions is as good a way as any to generate the dosh.

Still, Molly, we'd never let you lot starve. Remus will skim off the top for us all; that's part of the point.

Oh, that reminds me - I've got to see someone about ordering more sugar, black pepper and curry powder. The batches I sent likely won't last long.
