Penelope nodded and hurried into the kitchen to grab her day planner. "Should I cast them once a day? Or multiple times?" she asked. Whatever Percy said she would write it in. If he thought she needed to cast charms, then she knew it was a serious matter. Thankfully she'd never caught the flu from her Muggle coworkers, but what if she caught it once she moved back into the magical world?
Again Penelope gasped. "No!" she said. She put her hand to her chest. Ginny and George were sick, too. "Your mum must be beside herself." Percy looked upset, and Penelope put down her foot and focused only on him. She covered her mouth with her hand when Percy said George had lost his magic. "How?" she asked. "How is that possible? Oh, Percy, I had no idea. I wish you had told me. I would have helped or cooked or I don't know," she said. Realistically, there wasn't much she could have done from Oxford.
