Moving Along....
Mar. 31st, 2009 08:13 pmDespite my wife's highly amusing assessment of my indisposition last week, I have been quite recovered since Saturday. One can hardly say the same for Llewellyn-Davis, who doubtless feels more ill every time he thinks of the cell in Azkaban awaiting him.
The repercussions of Llewellyn-Davis's sedition continue to shake the Ministry; the MLE has been very busy of late, determining the real concerns from the false claims. (The Wizengamot continues to oppose employing Veritaserum to rule out suspects quickly!) As a result I was very late meeting Ari - not for tea, but at Kenwood House. They've been approved to take possession, not surprisingly, as soon as Pandora is up to it. They hoped to make the shift in time for the Easter holidays, when Ptolemy is home; it seems their fifth child has slightly different plans so far. Ari had some questions about altering the main ballroom and certain of the guest rooms. Narcissa and I have some experience with temporary spells, though it is more her area than mine. It took an hour or two to discuss the possibilities and come to recommendations; I left Narcissa and Ari to the specifics while I headed back to Buckingham for a brief meeting with several Council members. Joined Narcissa along with Ari and Pandora for supper.
