( Now that Katie thought of it, maybe Adrian wasn't really the best person to ask for help concerning that particular issue. )

Molly and Bill Weasley sat together in a comfortable silence during the trip from Ottery St. Catchpole into London, Molly working dilligently on a knitting project while Bill examined the leatherbound book in his lap. It was the journal he'd picked up from the secondhand store in Diagon Alley, after his visit with Jane, and it was clear that it was old enough that it did not connect to the current wizarding journal network, though it possessed magic of a nature he had not yet determined. This he had not shared with his mother, nor did he poke and prod at it with his wand, but wrote a sentence on the first page experimentally. "Today is Tuesday, June 29th, and I am going to an appointment with my mindhealer." The ink glistened wetly on the page; the book did not absorb it as the journal Ginny had possessed years ago had done.

Bill set it aside when the buildings they passed on the road became taller, and he waited expectantly for them to turn the corner to St. Mungo's.

Once the car slowed, Bill and Molly exited the car and headed inside. He kissed her cheek in the lobby and made his way by himself to Adrian Pucey's office. He knocked.

(  Adrian let that subject drop. He'd made Bill notice the elephant in the room. )
