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.

WHAT??

I still haven't heard anything from Mr Baddock. I'm not sure if he'll write back.

I'll write Prospero next. I'm not sure if he'd do anything that'd cross Lucius, but he is a solicitor, so that's something, and I can probably convince him that my interests are at stake.

Even if he could be persuaded to cross Lucius, he's not likely to do anything unless he gets something out of it, and I need to sort out what that might be.

He did wot?!

Merlin's hairy eyeballs, I'm going to break his nose the next time I see him. And that's just for starters.


I can't believe he had the nerve to do that.
