There have been outbursts in a couple of camps tonight. I went in late this afternoon when I got a floo call. Molly, I won't be home until late. I don't think it's serious enough that MLE will be called out, but I want to stay here for the time being, simply to monitor the situation from the office.

Last evening I saw two youngsters whose ailments turned out in the end to be caused by worry for fathers who work in the camps. One administrator's daughter with a terrible case of hives, and one enforcer's son with collywobbles.
Every year there's something--sometimes only hex injuries from unauthorised duelling--but when you dig down it turns out that the children with family employed in the camps suffer deep anxiety about fifth of November troubles.
