Order Only

Did everything go smoothly yesterday, Poppy? Arthur?

Alice's owl arrived with the drawings and letters for Puneet's parents. Perhaps we can make another try for him tomorrow, or this weekend.

That will bring us to Ethan, Ivy, and Sirius. I think the theory that Ivy is a Traveler and Sirius's parents are in hiding somewhere, or with some group like Sherwood's, are sound. Regarding Ethan -- how long do people want to wait? One of the things I've heard about Leap babies is that sometimes they show their magic earlier, which could be awkward.

Minerva, have you checked the book again lately? (Sorry to nag.)

I'd say now that he's over a month old, we can fetch him at any time. And you're right, love, just in case, sooner is better than later.

Frank and I can go for him.

And Merlin knows we need a secretary to keep all of this straight, and having you sort out all of this has been very helpful. In the future, perhaps we need to designate someone whose sole job is to coordinate and keep track of babies, and where they are in the process? Check up on paperwork and who is fetching whom, and so on? From book to paperwork to parental contact to Moddey, there are a lot of people involved, and it'd be a shame to let one slip by because of disorganization.

Although I for one do not plan on letting it build up to quite so many in one go in the future, which will hopefully make this a lot less of an organizational nightmare bother.

I still don't like the idea of a Leap Baby at Moddey but I know I'm outnumbered.

I agree with Remus, though, that if Ivy's a Traveller she's best where she is - and that goes for my namesake, assuming he was born somewhere outside the Ministry's ability to control.

We were actually talking about whether it would be possible to create a second duplicate of the book and keep it at Moddey. So someone could check it more often than Minerva remembers has opportunity.

I'll stop up this afternoon, shall I, and suggest to Minerva that we check the book together?

Yes, perhaps you'd better do.

And maybe between you and Pomona, put it on a scheduled rota? Once a month? That way we shan't get so far behind again.

Sorry to ask it when you already have enough to be going on with.

Has she been better, do you think? Worse? Same?

You've seen that she's having to file weekly reports to YKW?

I gather that has not been helping her general level of stress. Her strategies for managing stress remain the same.
