No, no, Malfoy has no notion we intend to use the consortium to help muggles and muggleborns, and we'll be very careful to keep it that way. Mum has a lot of experience at, uh, creative bookkeeping from administering the barter network. They had no notion that they had Sherwood in their network, and were really puzzled when their business went way down after Mom was removed from administration.
No, what has Malfoy in a strop is Pansy. Specifically, she used some of her money to back us, and Malfoy's fuming about it, because he doesn't believe we can make a go of things selling fake wands, among other things. Or he just hates all Weasleys. Well, all Weasleys except Percy, apparently.
We're going a make a go of it, though. And Pansy's been brill. She has all sorts of marketing ideas, and she's spot on naming products. We're gonna be a good team.
We're trying to think of products that would sell well with the kids but would be dead useful to the Order, too. One of our best are these gizmos Pansy's named Sparking Super Balls. They spark colours (magical illusion, no fire included) when you bounce them on the floor. Look quite dazzling in the dark. BUT, if you carve a certain rune on them and bounce 'em on the floor, they'll become magic seekers: they fly right to the nearest wand you're not holding and engulf the tip. So you can see your opponent's wand glowing in the dark, and it'll delay spells coming from that wand by about five seconds. Until it gets pried off, of course, which takes some effort. Gives you time to dodge. Which could be critical in a firefight.
We have loads more ideas, too. We need to talk to Fu again; the man's a fountain of 'em.
We're missing Quidditch too (not to mention the rest of the team). Hey, who replaced us as Beaters? We should get together with Cedric Diggory and do some drills with him. He's missing Quidditch, too.
Mum still seems upset this morning. The pots and pans were really crashing while she was making breakfast. But she says she won't apologise to Percy.
Which is the right decision, we think. He said some things that were really unforgivable. WE don't mind what he says to us, but he was dead wrong to go after Mum like that.
