It had taken her until her mid-morning break for Molly to remember that she needed to owl Minerva about being able to use the Floo Network to travel between St. Mungo's and Hogwarts on the days she needed to help Severus with his N.E.W.T. classes. She felt slightly guilty for letting it slip her mind until now, as she had meant to send it before heading off to work. After washing her hands, she made her way to the small post office that St. Mungo's had for families to communicate while a member was hospitalized. She asked for a sheet of parchment and a quill, and settled herself at the table provided to compose her owl.
Minerva,
I'd like to ask for permission to use the Floo Network to commute between Hogwarts and St. Mungo's, as I'm due to start helping Severus with his N.E.W.T. courses, and being able to Floo would be the most convenient for me, given my shifts.

She read through the owl once, and she would have liked to extend it, but unfortunately, she needed to get back to the brewers, so short and to the point would have to do. She paid for the use of the hospital's owls, and watched as it flew off, making its way toward Hogwarts. She was almost certain Minerva would be agreeable to her request, and it was a relief to tick one thing off of the to-do list that seemed to grow as the days went by. However, she was beginning to realize that was the life of a working woman, and she'd grow to get used to it. Hopefully.
