I went to see Helen today. Her brother and her niece are out of hospital now, and should make a full recovery. Helen admitted she hasn't been sleeping well. I've owled her some Dreamless Sleep (on us) and told her to take at least next week off too.

I think she might need more than that. She didn't say so, but what she's describing sound like panic attacks. I know muggle doctors have medicine that helps with those, but I don't know if the wizarding world has anything similar. I wish I could recommend a therapist, but it would have to be one that knows about our war and understands the impact of the London bombings on the muggle side.

How would an adult long out of Hogwarts go about studying for and obtaining an apparition license? And, while I'm asking questions anyway, how easy is it to get a house in a muggle neighbourhood added to the floo network? Would that interfere with having electricity?

Go to the Department of Magical Transportation for both.

For the Floo Network, go to the Floo Network Authority. A connection can be made to a Muggle household without any issue, provided you fill out any necessary paperwork in order to obtain the connection. The connection itself doesn't interfere with electricity and vice versa. Of course, you'll also have to put up appropriate wards in case a Muggle sees someone pop into or out of your fireplace, but that's covered in the process of obtaining a connection to the Floo Network.

For Apparition, speak to someone at the Apparition Test Centre in the Department of Magical Transportation. They should have more information on classes and are able to schedule your test for your license when you're ready.

If you need help, I can try to help you on my lunch one day. How much help I'll be, I'm not sure, but I'll be in the building regardless, and I don't mind. ~~Beats eating alone~~

	You're amazing, Zacharias! I'd love that - even if all you do is show me how to get to the Department of Magical Transportation. Last time I tried to navigate the Ministry, I ended up in the cafeteria when I was trying to get to the exit. Turns out they do quite nice food, though, so it wasn't a total waste. Would one day next week suit you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know about that, but thank you.? It can be a bit of a amaze until you get used to it. And the food is better than you'd think it would be for a government building. I suppose keeping the employees well fed is a higher priority than one might imagine. From what I can tell, next week should be relatively free for me, so it should work just fine.

	How wrong would it be of me to get 'lost' again and take advantage of their food, since I'm coming at lunchtime? Or do you think sorting things out with the Department of Magical Transportation will take a whole lunch break? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know, but if you want, you could just come have lunch with me and schedule any appointments around that time. I do think it'd be better to make appointments so that it won't take too long, though it shouldn't take my whole lunch break if you're just getting information and pertinent forms to fill out.
