"I was just finishing tea when the telephone rang. I let it ring for quite a long time before I lifted the receiver warily and held it to my ear, wondering whose voice would come out of it and what it would ask me to do."

We've a busy Saturday so we're posting early.

Was Everard Bone cooking or expecting Mildred to cook?

Ruthiella It‘s an open question I feel. I‘d like to think he could have managed. If he asked he to cook it, it‘s only because he‘s unable to ask her out conventionally… 2y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I bet you‘re right. 2y
TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig I enjoyed that article. I do want to read more. The de-nazifying text gives one pause. Yikes. I assume when she knew better she did better. 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie Yikes I missed that. It was late when I read. Need to go back and reread when I have a quiet moment. 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Ruthiella I think so too. 2y
rubyslippersreads It seems as though every phone call or ring of the doorbell brings more work for Mildred. 😒 2y

Gosh, a couple of things to note here - all that wand dropping and seizing, swapping and stealing... whose wand now belongs to who? Also nice reference here to the filthy mud blood, and also who put Bellatrix in charge? Big mistake. But yeah, are any of the others any better? Nice parallel to the Dark Lord's shenanigans. One more dead wizard... speaking of murder - oh Dobby.

Another illuminating chapter, offering Harry and Dumbledore more #purpose, allowing them to advance their thinking and their action. The conversation about choice reinforces Rowling's #purpose - to impress upon readers the importance about making wise choices, brave and noble. Heady stuff.

Some really poignant moments here, from Lupin's reaching out to one patient through to Alice Longbottom's present to Neville. Even Gilderoy's humour. "Look, I didn't learn joined-up writing for nothing, you know!" *hums*

Here are all the major players in the chapter, although on the sides, we hear gossip and exposition from Percy, Karkaroff & Snape, Hagrid & Madame Maxime. We are also privy to a fairly awkward and public screaming match between Hermione and Ron.
