Kingsley Shacklebolt spent a very long day accompanying Muggle Prime Minister Yaxley on his various PR gigs, coordinating security plans and communications strategies. He is in the background of at least three international newspapers, sunglasses on, black suit austere and impeccable. He thinks he may be in at least one French gossip tabloid.
It is, as Caradoc would have said, 18 years earlier, hard to be the King.
He has polyjuiced himself into a small, egg shaped, white man. This man's body is confining and Kingsley doesn't much like the extra girth around his midsection. However, he has a dual purpose in stepping out in Muggle Britain's finest short, squat white man. He misses his friends, firstly, and secondly, he has a strange message that can hopefully find its way into Slytherin Academy.
It is a forward of a forward of a forward on his e-mail from a former Hogwarts classmate, a Hufflepuff that Kingsley remembers as quiet and unremarkable, but oftentimes Hufflepuffs are quiet and unremarkable upon first glance. Stuart Boardman's daughter has gone missing and he thought to send out a missive to Kingsley. Probably the smartest thing the moron Boardman could have done, Kings thinks, shaking his head.
Many of his classmates fled, but most went to France, or Wales, or Ireland. Few went to America, and the ones who did kept a very close eye on their children between their sixteenth and seventeenth year. Apparently Boardman allowed his young daughter to fly to London to sing in a choir competition. Apparently Boardman had never told his girl that she was magical. Apparently, Boardman had no idea the mess his child was in now that she had been captured, and the price he would have to pay to get her out. Kings marveled at the stupidity of the man, but also felt extreme compassion for the girl. If Kingsley wasn't in the public eye, especially the Muggle public eye, he'd buy her himself and figure out how Boardman could pay him back later. Alas.
Kingsley picks up his pace, hard to do in a body so squat, and knocks on the familiar door, though it has been awhile.
