Order Only: the Magical Commerce Hearing

[alt_gredforge]

We didn't go, thinking that would be more politic. Bill tried to come, but he was barred at the door and not allowed in.

Mum came home awhile ago and she's been shut in her room crying ever since. The good news is that her application hasn't been rejected--yet. They're demanding more (ridiculous) documents. 'Come back next month.' Which we suspect is sheer rot. They're going to keep her dangling. Just because they can.

The bad news is that Percy was there. And the bleeding arse testified against her as a character witness.

Private message to Ron

Bloody hell, Ron. I knew things were bad with Percy but I didn't know they were that bad. I'm sorry.

Seriously. I didn't know they were that bad.

You notice no one thinks Mr Malfoy has Percy under Imperius, though. This is just the other shoe dropping. Sort of what everyone expected but really hoped wouldn't happen.

Argh.

What a prick.

...yeah, that didn't occur to me, either.

I don't get it, you know? I don't know how he grew up with your parents in your house and turned out the way he did. I don't.
