Bill, any progress on portkeys? Hermione, I don't know if you caught this, but I went to the Ministry last week and got a portkey, ostensibly for Ellie, that comes here, to the tea shop.

It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing. Pomona, can one of us floo to you, and have you pass it along, or would that attract the wrong sort of attention?

Also, Hermione -- if you haven't already, do let your friends know that Mrs Perks has decided to leave Mr Perks, and we'll be faking her death when the opportunity presents itself. Sally-Anne Perks might get word that her mother's died -- she should know it's a lie.

I don't trust what Dolores is monitoring, but if you can come up with some kind of excuse, that would do. I don't suppose you've any seeds in stock you'd like me to look at or something of the kind?

And then we can find some excuse for Hermione to stop by.

I should be around tonight or tomorrow morning, or tomorrow evening. Avoid Sunday, please - I've invited Aurora down for tea in the afternoon. Severus, Poppy, and I have talked through some different approaches, but who knows how that will go when it comes to it.

Do please let us know how it goes, and how quickly she thinks she might be able to get us the information.

We aren't going to be able to make our own portkeys without the Ministry's say-so anymore. I'm afraid that your portkey for Ellie is Hermione's best option right now. A warning, though: I'm advised that the new portkey trips are now logged. That would track her journey from Hogwarts to Laszlo's. Which certainly makes things easy for the MLE, if they're pursuing her. And difficult for us.

The encryption code needed is a dead secret. Very convenient for them, isn't it? EVERY portkey has to be registered--no exceptions. Oh, people have been trying to get around this, sure. Some have taken their new Ministry-issued portkeys and attempted to reverse engineer them, hoping to transfer the Ministry encryption to their old unregistered portkeys, but it's no good. The first few who tried ended up paying the MLE a surprise visit. I'm sure you find this as discouraging as I do.

I'll keep banging my head against the wall trying to find a solution--Merlin knows my head is hard enough--but I have a bad feeling that this may be a problem we aren't going to find a way around.

It seems to me that our best shot might be trying to arrange for someone trustworthy to find a job working for the Department of Magical Transportation. Do we have anyone with a likely set of qualifications?
