Bree's World Tour, the sequel to this story is now up. Here's a tidbit.

"THE STARS ARE GOING OUT" MORE DEATHS TO COME? Read the headline of the Daily Prophet. Bree skimmed the article. Apparently Slughorn had taken her statement to mean that "the wizarding world's brightest stars" were in danger and told the reporters as much.

Why couldn't anyone look at the sky and go "Oh yeah, the stars ARE going out!"? But no, they had to look for some nonexistent deeper meaning. Idiots.

"They're getting more daring." Lisa said to Bree as they sat in her office. "They'll have the government under their control soon, and once that happens things will become problematic."

"Problematic?" Bree echoed.

"Other nations noticing, Voldemort deciding to take over other countries, all-out war, that sort of thing." Lisa explained offhandedly.

"Oh, is that all?" Bree replied sarcastically. Lisa ignored her.

"My forces are divided between stopping Vodemort and reclaiming lost business from our competitors." she explained. "We're having difficulty doing both with our available manpower, we need to recruit some more allies, that's where you come in.

"Me?" Bree questioned.

"You're going to be our new recruiter." Lisa stated.
