Miss Eglantine Price, who could now proudly call herself a witch, closed the door after seeing Mr. Brown off. He may have been a conman, but they had been through an adventure together. The children were asleep, and she had decided to start on the adoption paperwork tomorrow…

Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. Wondering who it was, as her nearest neighbor was a kilometer away, she answered it.
"Hello?" She called out."Who's there?"

When she opened the door, there were two women. One was "mature", though she looked more like a faerie-tale witch than anything else. The other woman was very young, and looked like a senior student at the oldest.

"Miss Eglantine Price?" The older woman said,"My name is Violetta Grunes, and this is my assistant Minerva Mc Gonagle, may we come in to discuss some things?"

-Ten minutes later-
Violetta Grunes set down her teacup, wishing it was fortified with brandy, as she got to the root of the matter at hand.

"Miss Price, what you did a fortnight ago was quite perilous, as the Roman version of spellcraft is focused on power instead of safety. As such, it practically blew the roof off of the Magical Detection Crystals."

Violetta continued to a pale Miss Price."I am here to assess you and to act as a tutor to a less hazardous spell style, though you will have issues with control throughout your life. I am also here to find out how you were able to accomplish such a drastic feat. You woke up every set of armor in the British Isles, you know?"

Eglantine took a moment to compose herself, and hesitantly responded"You mean, magic hasn't gone away? I searched long and hard for anything that worked other than that correspondence course, but never found anything."

Madame Grunes looked appalled"You learned Roman magic from something like a Kwik-Spell course? No wonder you have such poor control ?! Who was the idiot sending out such dangerous magic, I'd like to Know!!"

Eglantine hesitated"He won't get into trouble will he?"
Madame Grune replied in a harsh tone
"Depends on the answer, but he is certainly going to get a talking to!"
Eglantine responded, "Mr Brown found an antique spellbook, and used it for the course. However, he was a stage magician, just trying to make esy money. I had to turn him into a rabbit to actually get anywhere serious. You just missed him actually, he's joined the Home Guard."

Violetta Grune was incandecently angry"You mean, this ham-handed Sir Luckless found an actual Roman Teaching Spellbook and used the lore in it to swindle people!" "Y-yes?" "I have half a mind to give his name to the Aurors and have them deal with his tomfoolery!"

Minerva Mc Gonagle interjected, mostly to keep Madame Grune from having a heart attack"Do you still have that spellbook? It would be dead useful to have"
Miss Price leapt on the change of topic quickly, "I have the two halves, and the children's book with the Substitutiary Locomotion words still, but they were damaged when my workshop was blown up." Minerva excitedly exclaimed" Just show me where it is and I'll Reparo it in a flash!" Eglantine asked curiously"Reparo?" Madame Grune snapped out of her shock and answered in an educator's tone"Reparo fixes broken items, it's one of the better everyday spells, falling under the Druid adaptation spells known as Charms." She blinked"You still have the Spellbook!?"

Miss Price replied"Heavily burnt" Madame Grune asked inquisitivly"Would it be possible to take the book and yourself to Hogwarts, the School in which we work?" Eglantine looked pensive" I have three orphans I plan to adopt, so I can't travel.
Madame Grune responded"We can bring them with us. I cast a magic-detecting spell before I chose to ring the bell, and all of you have enough magic to be taught."
