Storm

[alt_molly]

We had a windstorm a couple of nights ago, and my goodness, what a mess. Most of the roof was torn off the goat shed. If it were summer this wouldn't be so much of a problem, but it's getting so cold that it must be repaired right away. Arthur climbed up on a ladder to take a look, thinking he could simply fix things with a few 'reparo' spells, but it quickly became clear that rot had set in under the eaves, and so we had to purchase new lumber and shingles and replace the roof entirely. Arthur and Bill are taking the day off to finish the job, and I certainly hope the nanny goats appreciate it, the ingrates. Oh dear, that certainly wasn't in the budget for this month!

None of the goats were hurt, at least. Things will work out, Molly, dear. They always do.

I did need that extra money this month. For the children's dress robes, for the Yule Ball. Fred and George can wear Bill's and Charlie's old robes, and I was lucky enough to find a nice set for Ginny.

But, oh dear, I'm afraid that Ron will be upset when he opens the package I'm sending to him today. They were the best I could find, but I'm afraid they're rather hideous.
