Ministry of Magic
I can't believe this. The Ministry have finally gotten back to me about my hospital stay last month - and they're 'encouraging' me to 'reconsider my decision to live and work with muggles who are unaware of the wizarding world'. They say it's not a law, but if I can't control my magic it would be safer. Which is insane. I barely even do magic. It's not my fault I got sick!

What am I supposed to do, break my lease and move? To where? And what about work?

Oh, they're 'encouraging' you? I think that's their 'polite' way of saying they might be on the verge of starting to get really annoying.

If you need help with this, please don't hesitate to stop by either the Foundation office or at home if it's after office hours. Personally I'm not the best at navigating the Ministry or conversing in Legalese, but I do have access to people who do. And if you want to play along with them, I have a flat for rent and possibly a full-time position at the Foundation office in Monument Alley.

Other than that, I think the only thing I can offer is a Healer's note to prove that you're being supervised by me in case of... whatever made you sick in the first place.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it means. Why do I-

I know they can't force me to move, but I'm not sure how far they can or will go to make my life difficult if I won't. And I don't really want to find out.

It was Vanishing Sickness. Apparently I probably caught it off someone who hadn't started showing symptoms yet. That's what they're basing their arguments on. I don't know how much a note would help, given there's always a chance I could catch something else with visibly magical symptoms.

I'm going to come see you, probably next week.

	We've got two more rooms to let in the house I share with Bryn and Ben - it's in a muggle neighborhood but out landlords are muggle-parents to magic children, and we'd all be around to help you out, if that would make any difference? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	~~Have you asked Bryn about that?~~ That does sound convenient. I'll have to think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let me know, I can mention it the guys, but we're all pretty laid back - I haven't seen you in a decade or so, you know, after all, and here I am offering it up, so that should tell you something about us! Have you reconnected with either of them yet? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Magical accidents might mean the faceless paper-shufflers actually have to do their job. One option is to tell them to sod off. On the other hand, if you do decide you want to move or get a different job and need help, let me know. Puffs take care of their own, and I'm able to lend a hand. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Merlin's teeth! Are you okay? Still I have plenty of room if you need somewhere to stay? (Reply to this)
