alt_arthurBill and I have been wrestling with the problem for the past three days, but eventually we both agreed we couldn't wait for Flamel any longer. (I fervently hope that whatever has delayed Nicholas will be sorted out soon so we'll hear from him or Perenelle. Any word at all yet, Minerva?)
Anyway, the two of us had quite a row over which of us should attempt the retrieval, which we eventually sorted out by resorting to that old childhood favourite 'Stone, Parchment, Scissors.' In the end it was Bill who drank the polyjuice and made the trip to the Central Owl Office. I had gnawed my fingernails down to the quick before he returned, but all went smoothly, and we're both quite sure he was not followed.
Sirius, you'll be pleased to learn we have your contraband in hand. We'll divide the package, sending a 1/3 to Moddey Dhoo, a 1/3 to Hogwarts and keeping a 1/3 for Bill and me. The chocolate, spices and French burgundy will prove quite useful for bribing purposes, and everyone will be very pleased to see the potion ingredients. Kingsley, have you managed to retrieve the package that Sirius directed to you? Be sure to keep Benjy from finishing off all the liquor before you get a taste!

As for Flamel, that's bad news, of course, but if Bill thinks he can send a spy to get a better sense of what's going on, at least we'd have an idea whether anything is compromised.
Sounds as if, for the time being, anyway, the import operation is in the clear.
