I have NEVER been so angry in my life!
We had the usual problems getting to King's Cross today. Ron and Harry were the last to go through the barrier. We were late and they never made it through in time. I headed back through the barrier to give them a piece of my mind for dilly-dallying.
They were not there! Arthur and I hurried outside to see if they were waiting at the car. No boys and no car! I was certain death-eaters had both of them! I apperated home to see if they were there and Arthur headed to the ministry to see if there was news of them there. I notified Dumbledore and members of the order started looking for them.
The mystery of what had happened to the car was soon solved as every muggle emergency line lit up with reports of a flying car.
The ministry was about to send aurors to shoot it from the sky when Arthur had to admit it was his and that Ron and Harry had not made it on to the train.
Well he was sent home. The minister will hold an inquiry and he MAY BE SACKED!
After what seemed like the longest day on my life, we received word that the boys were safely at the school. It seems they crashed the car in to the whomping willow and it disappeared in to the forbidden forest.
Minerva said she was so happy to see them in one piece she couldn't give them too stiff of a detention. I'm sending a howler in the morning I am! How dare they think that they could fly that car to Scotland and not be seen!?

Arthur's inquiry turned out better than we expected. They could not find the car and with out it they could not find out exactly what spells and enchantments he had done on it. So he has been let off with a warning and is on probation for six months.

What a glorious fall it has been. The house is filled with peace and quiet. I thought I'd be lonely without a child at home. I'm not! I've gotten ever so much done! All the Christmas jumpers are done. I canned and preserved. I even have a wee part time job!

Halloween just does not seem the same without a child around. No party this year. Arthur and I spent a quiet evening at home listening to Celesta Warbeck on the wireless.
My only worry is that Ginny sounds so lonely and sad in her letters home. I'm sending her a box of fudge and an owl to Percy to keep an eye on her.
