Private message to Bill Weasley

[alt_corax]

Got a firecall a little while ago from the overseer of the Sparkwell Mine. Apparently loads of the tunnels are partly caved in, narrowly enough to keep out muggles of normal size. You'll need to go to the South Hams muggle camp tomorrow and find a hundred muggle children for a replacement work crew, no taller than 4'4" and he'd prefer runty older children provided they're in good health, the younger they are the more likely they are to whinge instead of work.

Send a dozen or so adults with, to mind them when they're off shift.

South Ham's only about ten miles from the mine, so you shouldn't need carpets or whatnot for transport, just have them walk. Expect that to take most of the day, considering, but you ought to be able to have them there and ready to work by Tuesday morning.

One hundred muggle children?

If the tunnels are partly caved in, is there enough room for that many to work the first day? Particularly if they must be trained?
