"The Ministry had departments for games and sports, and other commerce. Maybe not exactly art and music and fashion, but we can lump it together for now, probably, and not cause much of a stink. And if people complain tell them that they can always pick up a second job if they want it. I might even see if Parvati wants some hair potions or things like that. It's about time we got serious about hair care around here." He smiled playfully, then nudged Harry to turn so he could properly massage his neck and back.

He thought for a long, quiet moment as he worked at least some of the tension out of Harry's shoulders. What would he do? Raising morale hadn't exactly been his forte before.

A holiday or a club or a spa can't really compensate for that."
