I don't mean to be a bother, but is there anyone here who is knowledgeable about domestic magic and might be able to advise me?

I need a spell to get ink stains out of clothing. I've been getting by with an all-purpose dirt repelling charm, but it's not designed for this sort of problem.

In a not entirely unrelated matter, does anyone have experience with raising magical children? If you do, and you're not the sort of person from the future who thinks it is good or natural for children to be rude and hate their elders, I would like to ask you a few questions in private.

	Four! ~~Didn't it upset your mother to~~ Then you must think that our Sirius is making an awful fuss to be unhappy to be away from home at seven. No wonder you were such a brave little fellow when I met you at that age, if you were already accustomed to being away at school. The future is a very strange place sometimes. I started school in 1846. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I went to classes in the morning and early afternoon, and then went back home. ~~I wish I'd been away from home when I was f~~ If he likes being home, then it makes sense that he'd miss it.

Ah. ~~Like one of those charity day-schools for muggles who~~ That is somewhat different, I suppose. He did like being at home, and often when people leave home it can be difficult to get used to being in a new place. That is true even if you are older and want to leave home, so when you are young and it just happens to you, it can be worse. I know what that is like, and that is why I am trying to be very patient.
