Honestly, Perce. It's his house, after all.

I'm rather fond of Section 2 for that reason, myself!

Perce, dearest, don't you think Sirius has been through enough for one year without having arcane laws thrown at him? The place was full of beheaded house elves, for Merlin's sake! I really think you ought to just let him put it behind him, once and for all..

I'm perfectly willing to let him put it behind him once he has fully realised the error of his ways. Though I daresay this notice should properly ensure that it does not happen again, don't you think?

(PS. These laws are not arcane. My references are perfectly up-to-date, I'm pleased to say.)

Well, seeing as how it's cinder and ash, I doubt he'll be burning it again any time soon...besides, what's done is done. No one in the Ministry has seemed to mind, aside from you, so let's just all put it behind us, yeah?

(ps. Up to date or no, few things from the 70s bear mentioning, least of all laws. Witches wore their hair in wings back then, I'm sorry to say. Are you truly willing to trust the judgment of a decade that allowed such atrocities to pass?)

No-one in the Ministry, aside from myself, was at the aforementioned party, so this probably had some bearing on whether or not anyone 'minded', so to speak. Regardless, I am not averse to simply allowing this incident to be forgotten provided the parties involved are more careful the next time they feel an urge to do something destructive. Alas, I feel I am speaking to the unconcerned anyways, so I might as well save some frivolously spent time and put my efforts toward something more worthwhile.

I will let the matter go. I feel as if I have done all I can anyways.

(PS. You may have a point with the hair, Ginny. However, I can hardly help it if this Act has not been updated since before I was born.)
