Order Only: Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_molly]

Bill, this is simply ridiculous. I received ANOTHER owl from Magical Commerce, demanding yet more parchment work . I need you to read the letter--I can barely make heads or tails of it. But it seems they are demanding documentation having to do with the settlement of Arthur's estate. Why on earth would they need that?!

What!? What possible right do they have to want to look at those documents?

[alt_molly]

Well, I was hoping you might understand it all better, since you were the executor.

Apparently it's been brought to their notice that I'm sadly indigent. So they want to see exactly how badly your father left me in the lurch. As best as I can tell, anyway.

[alt_bill]

Oh, for--what bloody rot.

Look, Mum, try not to let it bother you. I'll take a look at it when I get home.

[alt_molly]

Well, I can't help but worry, dear. I've sunk so much They keep asking for more and more ridiculous things.

The next thing will probably be a demand for the last seven years of my toenail clippings.

[alt_bill]

Don't give 'em ideas.
