Summary: Regulus informs Sirius about Grimmauld Place
Regulus had made sure to go to Gringotts during lunch, and was able to meet the contractor after work. To say that he was eager to get this done was an understatement and the contractor seemed to understand that (or maybe the Black name and heads of house elves had a bigger impact that people thought), and guaranteed that they would get the work done quickly. When he returned to Hogwarts, Regulus wrote Sirius to let him know of the progress he had made.
Sirius,
I've met with the contractor tonight. After some debate, we came up with the enclosed floorplan.
His suggestion was to demolish the interior and rebuilt it, however that would have stripped the house of all but the basic magical protection. For that reason, he will work around existing walls, moving them as required, and only demolishing the bare minimum. One of these walls is the one downstairs so we can move Mother's portrait (I've agreed to let Kreacher have it for his room). However, magically moving the walls will take longer than demolishing it and rebuilding it. He estimates ten days to complete the work.
Kreacher and Dolan will be at the house tomorrow, packing up everything and moving it to Hogwarts. I've decided to throw out most of the furniture. There are only a few pieces that I'm interested in keeping. If you do want something specific I suggest that you go tomorrow. Work will start on Wednesday and hopefully it'll finished, furnished and ready to move in for the 20th.
If you have any suggestions, comments or objections, now's the time to speak up.
Sincerely,
Regulus
PS the wall with the heads of the house elves is staying.
