"They wouldn't break the statute, though," Parvati said with a frown. "Maybe they can go outside o the country, though. I mean a lot of magical spells that work on wizards don't work on house-elves. Maybe they have found a way to go." Maybe that was the way to do it, open up communication directly with companies using the house elves.
Parvati smiled, because at least Roxanne was trying, although who decided to become a model! These kids (and it didn't matter that they were about the same age, because they all felt so very young to her) seemed intent on doing utterly useless things. "I'm sure you'll do fine. I didn't know your mother, but your father is smart and brilliant. I'm sure you're too."
She sighed. "Everything point to the castle sending them back. The house-elves have been pretty quiet, but I'm talking to them, getting them to trust me. Hopefully they'll confirm it - or not- soon enough."
