Celine returns by lunchtime to the sound of cheers. Not for her of course, but for Potter.
"He got off! He got off! He got off!"
Fred, George, and Ginny are spinning around the dining table chanting as Harry stands in front of the group, absolutely beaming. No one notices when she slips into the room, so she makes herself hidden amongst the cabinets whilst she looks for a snack to sneak away.
"That's enough settle down!" Mr. Weasley shouts at them, though still smiling along "Listen, Sirius, Lucius Malfoy was at the Ministry-"
"What?" Sirius exclaims, startling Celine. She hadn't realized he was standing behind the cabinet she was looking in.
"He got off! He got off! He got off!"
Harry is looking at her now, but when she glares his way, his eyes skip back to Mr. Weasley and Sirius.
"Be quiet, you three! Yes, we saw him talking to Fudge on level nine, then they went up to Fudge's office together. Dumbledore ought to know."
Celine perks up at the mention of Malfoy. Ordinarily, she shuts any mention of Draco's dad out completely, too used to his constant stream of 'My father will hear about this!'; but if 'Dumbledore ought to know', then she'd like to as well.
What was weird about Lucius Malfoy going to talk to the Minister? Wasn't he some important Ministry official or something? Unless they think he's involved in something to do with Voldemort... She'll have to look into that once they're back at school.
Fred, George, and Ginny are still chanting as Mr.Weasley lets them know he has to go save some jinxed toilet somewhere, so Celine tries to slip back out the door with a pack of pepper imps while everyone is distracted. She gets to the doorway before Mrs. Weasley calls out to her.
