Hermione and Ginny arrived back at the office and turned over the files to Moody and Rufas, who were waiting for them. Hermione then returned to her office to write the letter to Delores Umbridge. She told the woman she and Ginny could meet with Monday morning at 10 a.m. and to contact her by flying fax if she could not meet with them at this time.
"Short, sweet and to the point," Hermione thought to herself as she folded it over and returned to the boardroom where Moody and Rufas were going over the files together with Ginny.
Hermione slid the letter in front of Moody then took her seat next to Ginny. She was glad that it was Friday! Both she and Ginny were looking foreward to being reunited with Ron and Harry later and were eager to exchange information with them then have some time along to relax until the work week began again. She was tired and she was noticing the baby move more frequently.
It was Moody who broke the silence.
"You all did a very thorough job!" he said, looking at the two woman. He picked up the paper Hermione had slid in front of him. "And this must be your letter to Umbridge?"
"Yes, sir, Thank you!" Hermione said. "I set the meeting for 10 a.m. on Monday."
"That will be fine," Moody said. "Now, I want the two of you to come directly to my office through the floo network Monday morning. Rufas will meet us there. We will then see what our strategy might be after assessing all this new information from these files and the returning Aurors and prisoners. Now, I know you plan on coming back here very early tomorrow morning to meet your men, so, I want you both to go on and get home so you can rest up a bit. Especially you, Hermione! You look tired and you must take care of yourself and the baby! No, go on! I'll see you both later!"
"Thank you!" Hermione said as she and Ginny rose from their seats.
"Hermione, come back to the Burrow with me," Ginny said. "That way we can rest and come back together later."
"Sure, Ginny." Hermione said, smiling gratefully at her friend. "Sounds good!"
She and Ginny then apperated to the burrow where they found Molly waiting for them with a good dinner.
"Hermione," she said as they finished their meal. "I want you to go right upstairs and take a nice relaxing bath then get yourself to bed! I know how hard they work there at the Ministry, and you need a good rest before you go meet my son and Harry later!"
"Yes, Mum," Hermione replied with a big grin
"And don't you forget it!" Molly grinned back. "Now, get going!"
Sorry so short! I'll write more tomorrow!
