I hope you are feeling less distraught now. I certainly don't blame you for being upset, son, as it sounded like a most unpleasant meeting. It seems to me quite an unkind and untrue jab on Malfoy's part to imply that your situation at home is affecting your work. I know perfectly well how conscientious you are ( Read more... )

My dear boy, congratulations on reaching the quarter century mark. While I know that's an accomplishment all on its own, growing up in the Burrow (between the danger of Quidditch accidents out in the orchard and the odd explosion coming from the twins' room), I'm even more delighted that you've grown into a fine young man that any father would be ( Read more... )

Using a variety of my slyest manoeuvres, I finally managed to obtain Terry Boot's Ministry file, without using either his name or Carrow's. I've made a copy of everything in it, and I'm sending you a copy, my boy. I think you have a right to see it, and it includes what little is known about your family ( Read more... )

Bill and I met for dinner and raised a private pint for Emmeline and Benjy. Then, since I had yet more reports to plow through before tomorrow's 8:00 am meeting, I came back in to work for another hour or two ( Read more... )

It took several attempts, but I managed to meet with both of them again, and I delivered Stephen's letter, explaining what steps we would have to take to meet their condition that Agam be vaccinated. (This conversation at times was rather laborious, since Dr Japra had to translate some of the more technical medical points for Agam's mother, who is ( Read more... )

I have convinced Agam Japra's parents to release him to Moddey Dhoo, on one condition. His father is a muggle healer here at the camp (what they call a 'doctor'), and they insisted that the boy be vaccinated, using the traditional muggle method. I believe it involves sticking needles in the arm. I confess I am rather hazy on how this method works ( Read more... )

Terry, your message tipped the balance, I think. It was a near thing. The parents let him go, reluctantly, but I've just dropped him off at the sanctuary ( Read more... )

I met with Neal's mother, and came back this evening to speak with his father, too, after his work shift was over. Neal's mother is a seamstress, and his father works in a gravel quarry ( Read more... )

Kingsley:

I found a letter Ron left for me, in all places, in my sock drawer. He wanted to consult with me without bringing Molly into it. My word, I hardly know how to reply to it. Reading it just about broke my heart. I wish I could discuss it with Molly but he specifically asked me not to ( Read more... )

Fred and George invited Lee Jordan over for dinner last night, as the day before was his 17th birthday. With Percy moved out and Ron and Ginny off with CCF, this was an ideal opportunity for sounding him out as a candidate for the Order, pursuant to our vote at the last meeting to allow him to join. Lee's been at the Burrow for dinner many times ( Read more... )
