The wedding's off. Jane finally cracked and decided she couldn't live under her mother's tyranny influence and renounced all of it, including Idris. A pity, I thought they were well suited. Jane's gone off to live with a commune of owl fanciers with her new boyfriend. Such a good family and she got seven O NEWTS as well. What a waste. Well, there will be others.
Still, even if wedding preparations were in full swing, I would still expect any decent son would drop everything to help if their father might be. implicated. in. a. murder.
He will see you soon. Accommodation already booked.
