Miranda has a lovely summer, some of it spent at Karen's and some in Italy and some at home.
She shows up with Karen at the train platform and they look for Minor.
year three ensues

Miranda spends the summer at home, reading and practicing and visiting Karen and writing to Minor.
Minor thinks he's getting somewhere on the wards (he wasn't allowed to take the O.W.L. in Runes this year, but he'd completed the coursework and was permitted to sit it for practice; he got an E) and the bulk of his letters is excited explanations about that, but he does find space on the occasional piece of parchment to update her on how the rest of the family is doing and to idly speculate about how Timothy's miscellaneous activities for his grandfather get the Statute repealed - I don't know if it's just a matter of corralling votes or if he's planning something to bring it to vote in the first place - Lymball's been coming over weekly, and I thought his family was very conservative, do you know if he's any better?

Lymball doesn't hate Muggles but I think he'd rather nobody ever had to look at them without planning to, wouldn't peg him as anti-Statute unless it was some kind of compromise solution where wizards can go mess with Muggles but Muggles aren't allowed any wizarding places.
So it's definitely the lightning ward, and the problem is that it's regulating current in this way which rules the piles out, he writes back, and then six pages about that.

Hee hee.
Miranda goes to meet Karen's baby brother Benjamin when he is a few weeks old. He is mildly interesting.
School shopping she encounters Lymball in the potions ingredient shop and asks what he was doing over at the Ways so often.

She has a standing invitation from Minor. She reads through all the pages of wards stuff carefully to have an excuse and borrows a broom and flies up.

"Spur of the moment decision after I ran into Lymball at the ingredients shop fill in the blank what is going on."

The door closes.
"I don't suppose I can just observe that it's not really any of your business?"

"I am seeing somebody I really shouldn't be and we're using Polyjuice to manage my father."
chanuphis
"Minor said he'd been over a lot but didn't elaborate, when I ran into him I asked what for, he said he'd only been over once. I suppose Minor's probably writing Karen too, I don't know if your other brothers send chatty letters."
