Order only: Home

[alt_sirius]

My house seems to have survived my absence. I left the bike with a friend a village over from mine and crept up on the neighbourhood, on the lookout for interlopers.

No one around, not even after casting a few anti-dissolution spells. And none of the protections I had placed on the premises had been disturbed.

It does appear as if, for the moment, there have been no substantial drawbacks to my proclamation and they still can't find me. So thank Yviane for that!

Of course, I should probably have asked Gregoire to take in the Muggle post. There's a veritable mountain of it on the mat.

Molly, Arthur? How is Lovegood? Any word about what Malfoy wanted this afternoon?

Order Only

Xeno did have a meeting with Lucius. Minerva, Lucius seems to be dropping hints that the Ministry might consider lowering the fine IF Xeno accepts certain other conditions. Not sure what he has in mind, but Arthur and I have been trying to brainstorm with Xeno to come up with other ways (short of money) to convince them to let The Quibbler stay in business.

If we come up with something that convinces Lucius to bite, can the Order put up any money at all? As long as it's not the whole 200 Galleons (and we can hide the source, of course)?

I suppose it would depend how much the amount was. Certainly no more than 100 Galleons. Less than that - perhaps, yes.

All right. We'll see what we can do with that. Thank you.
