I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne

Looks like something major's happened at the ministry overnight.

Makes a few cows trampling bushes and a fence at the Strettons seem pretty minor.

I feel sorry for the farm foreman. Mr S sounded seriously hacked off about it. Did they find the cows, do you think?

Really? There's nothing in the Prophet. Although -- you know what, Mrs Stretton took a long floo call this morning and shut the door for it and now she's chatting alone with Mr Stretton and keeping everyone else out.

Anyway the cows were fine, they rounded them up and they're going to put them in a different pasture until the fence is repaired, which is on the list but not at the top of the list, and you'd think Mrs Stretton would be pleased we spotted it but instead she's making up a list of things we ought to inspect around the perimeter while we're checking and dividing them up between me, and Jeremy.

OH

Now I see it.

I'm still not used to paying attention to things from, like, your brothers. I mean what would they ever say that's interesting?

That's interesting.

If it was Yaxley vs Hydra's Horrible Mum I'd have been cheering for Yaxley but not putting any money on him.

Interesting seeing how the Order talk about stuff, yeah?

I should probably keep my gob shut and just read along. That's harder than it sounds, though.

So, Mrs Stretton's going to make both of you fly perimeter every day? Is that what you mean? That reeks.

She says it's TEMPORARY, just until we get everything checked off her list. Which given how much she's added to it this morning will be done maybe by the time I go back to school.

I'll come.

Want to get out of here, anywiz. Mum's making up stuff for us to do. Guess she's realised we're going to be off at CCF next week, but really, we've done all the chores already.
