Edward Cromwell's Flat, Mayfair

[M D]

In a Belgravia Townhouse, the Cromwell family had its home. Here Edward spent much of his time while unemployed, by day he read and at night he walked. At points he had walked for miles before realising he was going nowhere but it kept him fit. All guests are welcome, and his wife wishes to make all feel at home.

Percival apparates outside the door.
He knocks on the handle.

[M D]

The door is opened by Edward, he had only just returned from a trip to Diagon Alley.

"Please be careful, I have Muggle neighbours."

[m_1512]

Sure.

Percival steps inside.

Right! We need to talk. Let us get this first out of the way, then to pleasantries.

[M D]

Edward closes the door and shows Percival to the seats,

"Tea?"

[m_1512]

Hmm... OK?

[M D]

The Tea is brought in by his wife who then leaves to go and watch television, a Muggle affectation she had picked up. The two men were alone,

"What did you need to see me for?"

[m_1512]

Sips the tea.

First, welcome to the department. To the serious part first, underage sorcery is not auror jurisdiction. That is the case for Improper use of magic department. I heard you sent a warning to some Prince.

[M D]

"Mr Black, as always I follow the Ministry Code. Since the Wars, the Department for Improper Use of Magic has been subsumed into our own. Where this occurred is the reason i did it, the Forbidden Forest is widely known for its connections to the Dark Arts, and I am worried that if young pupils are casting there, then we might have an issue on our hands. I have in a sense, nipped it in the bud. Any other underage use would be passed onto a much lower ranking person, but this, this is special."

[m_1512]

Please call me Percival.

But now let us consider, the forbidden forest might be erm.. special place, but it is still under Hogwarts.

[M D]

"Irrelevant. These children were unsupervised and in a position that is both highly dangerous now, and for the future. Hogwarts cannot be treated as a special case when such flagrant rule-breaking happens there."

[m_1512]

Forget that for now.

I came to ask you if you are prepared to accompany on even a moment's notice?

[M D]

"Why, are going away on a Romantic break?"

Edward chuckled,

"Of course."

[m_1512]

Not immediately, but soon. I have a dangerous plan, and certainly not for the faint hearted.
My patronus shall find you when time comes.

[M D]

"Again, I would rather you sent an owl, if a Patronus appears, I fear for my Muggle nieghbours even more."

[m_1512]

"As you say."
