Characters: Hestia Jones, Viktor Krum

Status: Public
Summary: Hestia's actually taken the weekend off work to take care of some Order business.
Completion: Complete
Hestia had installed her own protective wards on the safehouse, but she knew that they needed to be checked a few times by other people to make sure that they were consistent. The wards she'd put in place were similar to the ones she'd installed on her own flat, but much stronger, better for keeping unwanted company at bay. Hestia was reasonably confident in the strength and quality of the protective charms that she'd cast upon the safehouse for Harry's family, but she wasn't going to risk their protection without first testing the wards she'd laid.
The first test, Hestia decided, involved leaving the site for a while, if only to make sure that the wards would hold for a short amount of time. She desperately needed to clear her head as well, and her stomach was beginning to protest her long morning activities. That meant that a trip to the Leaky was in order. Having decided to leave, Hestia quickly apparated to the pub for lunch.
As she took a seat at the bar, ordering one of the specials that Tom always suggested, Hestia realized just how much her life was going to change. It had always been a bit difficult keeping up appearances at St. Mungo's while she was doing Order business, but she'd not completely sorted out how she was going to manage the protection of Harry's family for the Order, keep up a bit of a normal life, and continue to function at the hospital. Those thoughts were beginning to overwhelm her when somebody suddenly broke her out of her reverie.
