"I imagine so, yes," Susan replied calmly, noting dispassionately the way in which Pandora's lips had quivered for a moment. "Nevertheless, it's true. Greyback was if you'll excuse the pun, a monster. He deserved to die in the most painful way imaginable." She smiled mirthlessly and shrugged. "There are still members of the Aurory who are unable or unwilling to change with the times. Not everyone had a choice in their allegiances during the war. But enough, I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

She nodded and smiled again. "The better part of valour is discretion," she commented blandly. Having wards that stopped anyone but a select few from entering into your home was something rather common in the post-war world; a result no doubt of a certain shared societal dread at the maelstrom of reports that circulated during Riddle's ascendancy of people being killed in or taken from their homes. People like Susan's aunt. "Whatever can be used to make things safer and more painful for those that seek us harm are perfectly acceptable in my book."

"A basic stove will probably be sufficient I think," she said, furrowing her brow a bit as she thought. "I'd be more than happy to pay for the inclusion of some basic furnishings. You know: beds, a kitchen table and chairs. The rest I can get from one of my family's properties."

Obligingly, Susan reached into the pocket of her jacket and pulled out the handbag. "My brother apparently tried to get this charmed, but he got slightly embarrassed for some reason. Apparently it's deeply important to him that I have a blue bag that's bigger on the inside." She handed it over and shrugged. "It's got three compartments, so really all I want is for the two smaller compartments to go about three times as deep and three times as wide as they are now, and for the main compartment to extend down about a metre or so - enough to be able to let me reach things easily - and perhaps two metres across? I would do it myself but it takes a real master charmer to do the extension spells seamlessly enough to keep the leather looking acceptable. What do you think?"
