"An office would be wonderful. A place to read, do research, review medical marvels... And a place to get away from crazy people. Maybe I can charm it sound proof. Although I suppose that would be bad if tragedy was ever at hand.

"And don't worry about Severus, he already knows of my intentions. He's discussed them with Remus, actually." The mention of Remus made her think of Spinner's End and the pack. It would be awfully convenient to have some sort of connection between the two places... She recalled the year that Draco helped the Death Eaters into the castle and what she could remember from Harry telling the story. She started explaining the magical theory to her brother and added, "Maybe we could come up with something similar? I'm not really sure how we would do it now, but Hermione's brilliant. I'm sure she could help.

"As far as figuring out the logistics, maybe Severus would like to sit down with us and discuss these things? He'd be a large part of it, obviously, helping with the potions and research and Remus's pack. He might have a better idea of how to work the situation.

And why would you ask me for a name? I named an owl 'Pig'." For a second, Ginny cringed at her youth's unimaginative side. Oh, how odd she'd been.

Actually, the more George thought about it, the more he realized that they really couldn't keep the werewolf clinic a secret... What with all the registry restrictions and all... Although, if there happened to be some werewolves who managed to not get on the registry, it would be good to set up a secret entrance, anyway... Possibly even an escape route... Just in case... So much for wanting to keep Ginny safe.

"I suppose if you approached him and let him know what you were planning," he finally suggested, "he might be interesting in contributing. Your two 'investors', of course, would be contributing a great deal to the clinic, in exchange for your input on their products, if you know what I mean... And, of course, we would be contributing the space."

Between what Snape had paid the twins and the unrecorded money the twins made during the war, it shouldn't be too hard to invent a pair of "semi-wealthy investors". Of course, any meetings with Snape and/or Remus's pack would require polyjuice potions. That would have to be worked out.

"With your help," he finally continued, "I could have the intitial plans put together within a month. And then we could take them to Snape, Hermione, Remus... whoever."

Her neck felt a little sore from all the nodding. There wasn't much to say, because there wasn't much to debate. Everything George threw out on the table, Ginny agreed with. It was usual for them to think on the same brain wave.

"I'll write Severus soon to let him know. I'm sure he'll want to be in on everything. Do you have any concrete ideas yet? Maybe we could start by drawing up a floor plan to make sure that the shop will do nicely. Do you have the dimensions of it yet?"
